Budget Getaways Review
Nestled amongst milkwood trees in a secure estate, within walking distance of the beach at Fisherhaven, just 20 kays down the coast from Hermanus. Now that’s already enough reason to be packing your bags and getting out of the big smog for a weekend.
Selah (meaning a pause for contemplation) certainly is a place where one could get a good chunk of contemplating done over the course of a super-chilled stay. The little wooden cabin is set within a secure estate, where you’ve not only got a communal swimming pool, but tennis courts as well. Added to that, it’s a quick and easy stroll down the street to the beach and lagoon mouth at Middlevlei, a great spot for sundowners, or for the kids to swim or even for a walk on the beach.
Let’s take a look at the cabin itself. Neat, tidy and uncluttered, it’s split into two levels. Upstairs you’ve got all three bedrooms (two doubles and one with bunk beds) and a bathroom with shower and loo. The two double bedrooms open out onto a balcony. Back down on ground level is the living area, a fully equipped, an open plan kitchen and a full bathroom. The living area is cozy, comfortable and opens out via sliding doors onto the ground floor patio and braai area. All bedding and bath towels are provided.
The estate’s swimming pool is a short walk from the cabin, as are the tennis courts…so pack your rackets. Activities in the nearby area include horse riding, coastal hikes, wine and gold estates (Arabella is just down the road) and of course there’s Hermanus a short drive away.
A neat and tidy little getaway, just a hop, skin n’ jump from the Mother City. This one makes for an easy escape and a good spot to just sit and contemplate, “Selah!”
