This magnificent colonial Dutch house is set in a large tropical garden and faces south over a beautiful stretch of sandy coastline, making it perfectly located for a luxurious beach holiday. Sun worshippers can lie back and relax.  The villa resembles a Southern walauwa -- or ancestral home -- with columns and verandahs, a central courtyard, and sprawling gardens. Enter the villa via an open courtyard which leads to a large sitting room and on to wide covered verandas with breathtaking views. A manicured lawn acts as a natural boundary between the main part of the villa, housing the bedrooms and sitting room, and the dining pavilion and separate kitchen. The villa has its own private entrance to the beach, which thanks to the protection of a natural reef offers some of the safest year-round swimming on the south coast. If Villa is a perfect holiday getaway for families with children. The large garden is also an ideal setting for a family wedding.
