The space
This unique, characterful and spacious chalet situated in the up market suburb of Bonnie Doon ( part of Nahoon) offers a truly African experience while still being close to the city center of East London, a beautiful coastal town surrounded by breath taking landscapes and beaches. The property is hidden by old trees and a lush garden creating the feeling of living on a farm. Bunnies, hyrax, rabbits, geese, monkeys and ducks are living in the bush close by.
The chalet is situated in a quiet and secure area, not far from town center, the Vincent and Hemingway Mall and other shopping facilities and restaurants like Spar, Wimpy, a post office and a bottle store. Only a two minute drive to the famous Nahoon beach where lots of surfing competitions take place during the year. The Nahoon Beach has a lagoon as well sheltered from the wind and an ideal swimming place for families with children.

The flat is lovingly decorated in an artistic, bohemian eclectic style furnished with antique and original retro furniture, with beautiful mosaic floors, that were done by the host (who is an artist) throughout the flat and on the staircase leading down to the flat. It has a spacious bedroom with a King Size bed, a small toilet attached to the bedroom and a free standing antique ball and claw bath. The kitchen is fully furnished in retro style, with a large American General Motors vintage fridge, electric stove and a micro wave and everything else that is needed to cook a delicious meal. The Hunter's Cottage has as well a large sun room or undercover patio/veranda, serving as a separate entertainment and dining area with an original farmers/wood stove. All the glass doors open to a wrap around deck that leads to another open air eating area in front of the kitchen. The sun room also serves a a second bedroom with two comfortable single beds. The flat was build entirely from reclaimed and recycled materials and a lot of thought and love has gone into the construction. Even the bricks used for the construction are recycled bricks. It is a space for people who are looking for something very different but still comfortable. Laundry services are available just around the corner.

Guest access
The flat has its own separate entrance and is very private. A staircase leads down to the large deck with barbecue/braai facilities under old vegetation. So guests need to be able to climb stairs. There is secure parking inside a gated area in front of the garage.
There are over sixty bird species including crested eagles and little bush bucks living in the surrounding nature. Ideal for bird watchers and nature photographers. The hosts have created a little pond just below the flat, that can be seen from the wrap around deck. It attracts a lot of bird life and small buck, that come to drink at the pond.
