127 da Gama Road, Beach Front House

The first time we walked up the stairs and saw Jeffrey's Bay stretching in front of us, our hearts sang. After ten years of dreaming and two years of planning we finally created a modern beach front house by the surf. 127 de Gamma is built with a European style but an African heart. Whilst the bedrooms are downstairs, the open plan upstairs is all about the view. 2 guests may also stay in the unattached annex at the bottom of the garden. They have a totally separate area.
