Self Catering House Accommodation
in Port Nolloth, Namaqualand,
Northern Cape, South Africa
Situated on the beachfront, this beautiful home has an enormous covered,
furnished patio, with a braai area, completely protected from the wind and with
spectacular views of the ocean. The interior is tastefully furnished and each
bed is covered with a lovely home-made quilt. The very spacious main bedroom
with a king size bed, the dining room with a 10 seater table and comfortable
Lounge with large couches, also all have beautiful views of the ocean framed by
2 very tall and old palm trees.
The kitchen is modern and fully equipped. There is a separate laundry area with
tumble dryer and washing machine and the bathroom is spacious and modern.
In the evening, relax, or enjoy a braai or dinner on the patio. Watch the
beautiful sunsets over Port Nolloth Bay and the return of the fishing trawlers
and diamond dredgers after a long day at sea manoeuvring thru the port and
starboard buoys in the channel heading back to the harbour. In the morning,
watch the heavy-side dolphins, seals and occasional whale frolic in the waves
from either the patio or from the lovely wooden boardwalk that stretches across
rocks and rock pools from beach to beach.
Our beachfront home is perfectly located within walking distance 200-300m (along
the boardwalk) to restaurants and shops, but private and away from the hustle
and bustle of the town centre. Enjoy walks along the long white sandy beaches,
or soak up the unique history of this quaint little town. Once named Aukwatowa
by the Nama people, it later became known as Robbebaai due to the abundance of
seals and finally it was renamed Port Nolloth by British settlers who identified
the bay as a harbour from which they could ship copper ore mined inland. Just as
the Ore shipments started declining, alluvial diamonds were discovered (1926).
The main industry today is marine diamond dredging, crayfishing and tourism.
