Sparrow’s Nest Beach Cottage (The)

Magnificent 180-degree unobstructed view of the ocean located in Jeffrey’s Bay. Wake up to stunning sunrises and fall asleep to the sound of waves breaking on the shore. Come relax and enjoy peace and tranquility in this 2-bedroom, self-catering cottage which sleeps 4.  The pristine beach is just steps away, across a greenbelt/conservation area (where you may see buck, tortoise, mongoose).  Dolphins, whales and the odd seal or otter may also be spotted in the beautiful waters. We are located in a safe and quiet neighbourhood.

The accommodation consists of a cozy lounge area, small fully-equipped kitchenette, two bedrooms and bathroom with double shower and washing machine.  The main bedroom has a queen size bed and the 2nd bedroom has two ¾ beds. The unit has a parking area behind a remote-control gate (parking only for 1 vehicle behind the gate but additional parking is available on the road). The lounge and main bedroom have sliding doors leading onto a patio which has a built-in braai. The outside shower (hot/cold water) is round the corner from the patio. There is also a Weber braai available.

The kitchen is equipped with large fridge/freezer, microwave, countertop 2-plate oven with stove, cutlery, crockery and tea & coffee is provided.  The flat screen TV has independent DSTV channels and there is free WiFi. A drying-rack for clothes, ironing board, iron and hairdryer are also available.

The apartment is sanitised and cleaned thoroughly, in between stays, in accordance with Covid regulations.

Nearby, you can enjoy a sunset boat cruise on the canals at Marina Martinique which has a bistro available for meals.  Other restaurants within 1 km include Walskipper and Tapas – both are on the beach and have beach sand floors and specialise in sea food, traditional South African food. The Lagoon restaurant is also within walking distance & overlooks the lagoon.

We are situated 5km from the well-known surfing mecca of Jeffreys Bay where International surfing competitions take place. Supertubes is considered one of the best right-hand breaks in the world and offers world class surfing.  Learn to surf – surfing lessons are offered.

Also nearby you can enjoy fishing, cycling, kite surfing, sand boarding, hiking in nature reserves, gym, bowls, golf, tennis, horse riding, deep sea fishing, sky diving and more.  Jbay has a lively night life with many pubs/restaurants, some of which have live music at certain times. Beautiful shells are often found on the beach and there is a very interesting Shell Museum with one of the largest shell collections in SA.

The town has some interesting curio shops and factory shops e.g. Billabong and also the Fountains Mall which will take care of all your shopping needs.  It is also worthwhile driving to St. Francis bay which also has many restaurants with delicious food.

There are game parks nearby. Lombardini is about 10 minutes’ drive and many others are close by.  The Seaview Predator/Lion Park is about 60 minutes away and the Addo Elephant Park is about 90 minutes’ drive.  It is possible to do bungee jumping at the Bloukrans Bridge situated just outside the Tsitsikamma National Park, 60 minutes away. A trip to Storms River is a must (crashing seas and breath-taking views of Storms River Mouth) and for the more adventurous kayaking, ziplining and tubing.

We have a generator in case of power failure/emergencies.

The Sparrow’s Nest is situated in Jeffrey’s Bay, an area best known for its scenic routes, beaches, surfing, sandboarding and nature reserves. The perfect getaway spot for those seeking a holiday away from buzzing city life
