Historic Coastal Charm In The Heart Of Kalk Bay

Overlooking False Bay, this iconic seaside home, Beaufort Cottage , recently thoughtfully reimagined and meticulously restored, combines timeless character with thoughtful modernisation and the relaxed appeal of coastal living. Spectacular ocean vistas, light-filled interiors and an exceptionally private central courtyard create a distinctive coastal retreat in the heart of one of Cape Town’s most characterful seaside villages.
The spacious lounge enjoys beautiful sea views, with a wood-burning stove adding warmth and atmosphere on cooler evenings. Two sunrooms capture spectacular ocean vistas across False Bay, providing inviting spaces in which to relax and appreciate the ever-changing seascape. The modern kitchen opens directly onto the central courtyard, creating an effortless connection between indoor living and outdoor dining.
Three generously proportioned bedrooms are arranged around the courtyard. The main bedroom enjoys ocean views, an en-suite bathroom and French doors opening onto the courtyard. The second bedroom also features an en-suite bathroom, with windows overlooking this tranquil outdoor space, while the third bedroom has courtyard-facing windows that maintain a connection with the home’s secluded outdoor sanctuary.
At the heart of the property, the exceptionally private central courtyard offers a sheltered setting for relaxed entertaining, with a shaded dining area and an elevated viewing deck adding to its appeal. A separate studio opens off the courtyard, providing versatile space for creative pursuits, a home office or a private retreat.
A single garage with direct access into the house, together with an additional off-street parking space, adds everyday convenience.
The location embodies the essence of Kalk Bay living. Dalebrook tidal pool is close by, while the village’s renowned restaurants, welcoming coffee shops, quirky art galleries, independent bookshops and trendy boutiques are all within easy walking distance. Combining historic charm, beautiful ocean views and a vibrant village atmosphere, this is a home that embraces the very best of seaside living on Cape Town’s South Peninsula.
