Great

Received a warm welcome from Helen on arrival, much more spacious than expected, clean and comfortable. Stayed in Owl loft and had a great view of both the bay and mountains. Would recommend the place to anyone and would defnitley go back there in future.

A bit about this place

Elm Tree Guest Cottages are an ideal base for exploring the West Coast: whales, dolphins, abundant bird life, pristine beaches, spring wild flowers, fishing. A nature lover's paradise, only 90 minutes drive from Cape Town, with a wonderful climate and that laid-back West Coast way of life. Whether you want a relaxing break, or plan to sample some of the varied activities on offer, our comfortable, fully-equipped self-catering accommodation overlooking the harbour and beautiful St Helena Bay is your home from home during your stay. All accommodation is fully equipped with bedding and towels. There are fans to cool you down in the heat of the summer, while blankets and hot water bottles are supplied for the odd chilly evening and heaters are also available on request. Kitchens are well stocked with crockery, cutlery, fridge, microwave, kettle, tea-towels etc and there is a TV in the living room. We also provide complimentary tea and coffee to refresh you after your trip. The cottages each have a built-in braai (barbecue) on the stoep (veranda) with views over Sandy Point Harbour and St Helena Bay, while the loft apartment has a weber braai on the balcony with views along the coastline.
