Perfect Hideaways: Book Your Next Getaway At Cowrie Cottage, Ballito

Book yourself a stay at Cowrie Cottage and be guaranteed a stay of absolute relaxation. Found just south of Ballito, this neck of the woods chalks up 320 days of glorious sunshine each year! It’s the Perfect Hideaway for your next getaway!

This organically formed thatched hideaway is ludicrously lovely. Tucked away at the end of the road, deep in the lush coastal forest on a deserted stretch of Westbrook Beach, one feels delightfully cut off from the rest of the world. Cowrie Cottage has the feel of belonging to your super-stylish, slightly eccentric, wonderfully generous friend.

It’s reassuringly solid yet with an easy playfulness, and effortlessly serves up a sense of being at home, held, cosseted, loved. If you can peel yourself off the deeply comfortable sofas on the verandah to take a meander beachward along your very own boardwalk, you’ll find your very own beach bar…with gorgeous tropical foliage framing your sea view. Pack the champers and juice for a morning mimosa, followed by a decadent breakfast of smoked salmon and eggs atop buttery croissants served on the oceanside dining deck.

And who doesn’t love a house full of the best support staff? Here at Cowrie every detail is taken care of — from help with the kids, to seamlessly making sure the house is in tip-top shape. And as you’re on holiday, why not dress up for dinner? Then regroup in your finery back at the beach bar for sundowners and fresh shucked oysters. Dine on more shellfish bounty…moule mariniere accompanied by a chilled Chenin, candlelight and moonlit ocean back-drop. Press repeat. Pure holiday heaven!
