The Daiquiri Shaq

Accommodation Description

Perched atop Patrysberg Hill, The Daiquiri Shaq offers a serene escape with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the charming village of St Helena Bay. This contemporary self-catering accommodation features three stylish studio units—Barbados Daiquiri, Bahama Daiquiri, and Bermuda Daiquiri—each thoughtfully designed for couples seeking a tranquil retreat.

Each studio is furnished with a king-size bed and boasts an en-suite bathroom equipped with both rain and wall-mounted showers. The open-plan kitchenettes are well-appointed with a fridge-freezer, gas hob, whistling kettle, and toaster, facilitating a comfortable self-catering experience. Guests can unwind on two private patios per unit, offering unique vantage points for both sunrise and sunset over the ocean. The sunrise patio is sheltered from the southeasterly wind and includes a built-in braai area, while the sunset patio provides stunning views towards Paternoster and the Columbine lighthouse—perfect for enjoying an evening sundowner.

The property embraces a rustic farm-stay ambiance, complete with local wildlife such as deer, tortoises, mongooses, hares, and porcupines. Guests are encouraged to drive slowly to protect these resident animals. For larger groups, McArthur Park Boma offers a communal West Coast entertainment area with a spacious braai area and fire-pit. Additionally, a mini-gym is available for those wishing to maintain their fitness routines, and an on-site art gallery showcases the works of the host, an international portrait artist.
