Some reviews are just worth sharing. This guest stayed in our new accommodation offering - The Avery. 💛

“An idyllic escape close to the Kalk Bay Harbour. My stay at the charming tiny house called The Avery was an absolute delight.

Tucked away just steps from the bustling waterfront, it offered a perfect blend of seclusion and convenience.

The cozy interior, of soft yellows, crisp white and light greens, was thoughtfully designed with every inch utilized efficiently and stylishly, providing all the comforts of home in a compact space, even a tiny grill and gas hob.

Each morning, I was greeted by the sounds of seagulls and bustle of Kalk Bay. After enjoying a cup of coffee on the gorgeous patio,

I set out to explore the vibrant culinary scene nearby - a stay in Kalk Bay is not complete without visiting Olympia Bakery, Salt and the harbour. With an array of fantastic restaurants and bakeries serving local delicacies and insanely good breads my taste buds were treated to a culinary adventure.

In the evenings, I returned to my cozy abode, where I unwound overlooking the ocean.

If you’re lucky you might meet the two resident cats who pop in from time to time for a scratch behind the ears.

Carol, the attentive hostess pays incredible attention to detail, I did not want for a thing and loved the little packet of mini Marie Biscuits - a South African delicacy.

The proximity to both the harbour and fantastic dining options made this tiny house holiday stay an unforgettable experience.”

Thank you Clare.

It is worth taking your time to walk through Kalk Bay to find hidden places like this. No doubt it will be an exploratory and memorable experience.

It’s very hard to resist freshly baked breads and pastries from the Olympia Cafe, Kalk Bay.

The sourdough boule I bought this morning was still warm. All it needed with a slice and smear of good butter.

What more can one ask for, other than wishing it was on your doorstep, like ours 😀

Yum! 🥖

We have not held back in making The Avery super comfortable. It’s beyond glamping!

Indoor and outdoor seating, a separate shower bathroom, kitchenette inside with gas stove, expresso coffee maker … plus plus … and totally private.

Great for single travellers or couples needing a cute and memorable breakaway.

We are excited to share a sneak peak into our new offering of holiday accommodation. Something unique to Kalk Bay!

Introducing THE AVERY.

The Avery conceptualised when our Jurgen’s caravan of 15 years was taking a serious hammering from exposure to the elements but we didn’t want to dispose of it because of all our fond memories with its use.

That along with a very old tree - home to a range of birds including the beautiful sounding weavers (thus The Avery) - and a unutilised part of our property, we decided to marry the two.

The result is a unique and private special stay which includes a separate shower bathroom, surround deck, undercover seating, private entrance and view of the sea and Kalk Bay mountains. And - for those who think caravanning is not their thing - we have built in a queen size delux comfy bed, as we know sleep is everything!

It will be available to rent from Wednesday 7 February and we are happy to take weekend caravanners and glampers.

Now and then.

Now called the Olympia Building, it was built in 1918 and was called Harbour Mansions then.

It was a big development for it’s day and for many years the bottom floor was the general dealer store for the area until in 1997 it became the Olympia Cafe restaurant.

It is still a landmark for Kalk Bay that notably still hosts Olympia Cafe, Kalk Bay plus Salt, Kalk Bay. and Kalk Bay Modern.

If only it had eyes and could share what it’s seen passing by over all the years!

Bobs Bagels and now gallery have expanded their space offering and it looks fantastic!

There are additions to the menu too with wholesome lunch salads. 🌿

While you are there you can get a glimpse Roben’s art (aka Bob).

It’s worth a pop in, even just for a look-see and a cup of delish fresh roasted on-the-spot bean coffee ☕️
