Create Memories in Cape St Francis

Hello from Graeme and Saskia, longtime Cape St Francis locals and your friendly hosts. After building our dream beach home a few years back, we realised we needed more space to accommodate our extended family and friends. Not in a hotel, but in an intimate, relaxed environment where our loved ones, who are scattered around the world, could reunite and make special memories. In December 2022, our nearest and dearest gathered and it was a great holiday for all!
