A luxurious, secluded beach hideaway where you can experience a seamless connection to the abounding nature at Churchhaven,<\/span><\/a> in the West Coast National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Settled on a farm in the hamlet of Schrywershoek, around the corner from Churchhaven<\/span><\/a> in the West Coast National Park<\/span><\/a>, Kalie\u2019s Cottage cushions itself into the rich fynbos vegetation and overlooks the beautiful blue pacifying lagoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Set on 140m2, this hideaway is a luxurious statement of idyllic beachside life, tucked into a restoratively rustic environment. With its contemporary structure and refined finishes, together with its sustainable stamp, Kalie\u2019s Cottage is the closest you\u2019ll get to secluded island living, on the mainland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Three spacious ensuite bedrooms are designed around the hub of the home where the open-plan living, dining, cooking and entertaining spaces connect. As you enter through a sunny central courtyard and glide through the open rooms, soft, natural light engulfs from every angle. Views of the lagoon, the marshland, the dunes, the vast skies, the wildlife and magical birdlife can be enjoyed from all of the living and reclining spaces. Tall glass retractable doors and long, sliding windows keep the flow of the outside, in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An additional smaller courtyard with turquoise tiles mimicking the lagoon, a large loft room, a private patio off the back bedroom and a lovely long, shady deck contribute to the ever expansive space that continues to unfold. Original oak cabinetry, countertops, ceiling beams and shutters add texture to this beach hideaway\u2019s<\/span><\/a> contemporary flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the property being entirely off the grid, a high-powered battery system, state-of-the-art solar panels and of course gas, supplies the cottage\u2019s Miele and Smeg appliances, lighting and all electrical necessities. The kitchen\u2019s cabinetry has been masterfully built by Joos Joinery<\/span><\/a>. So that when the antics of a beach existence slows you down, and you only have the energy to sip a crisp Chenin whilst preparing another al-fresco meal, the drawers and cupboards can close themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spending time with your favourite people, in tune with your own clock will be the only schedule during a weekend getaway at Kalie\u2019s Cottage. Rising with the sun and the song of the birds, and making your way down the boardwalk to the water\u2019s edge. Wading about in the warm blue, enjoying a variety of water sports<\/span><\/a>, or perched on the white sand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Returning to the courtyard and firing up the flames of the braai. Feasting around the long table before a sneaky afternoon siesta. Or perhaps it\u2019s onto the walking and cycling paths for some more action before a sundowner on the front deck with a round of rummy. Whatever\u2019s on the cards an endless source of inspiration from that blue lagoon will navigate you through the hours of the day, allowing the surroundings, its stillness and serenity to set the tone of your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEscape to off the grid serenity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
