The space

Sycamore House is more than a home—it's a space where bohemian ease meets refined luxury. The perfect home from home for couples and/or honeymooners. With its open-plan design and flood of natural light, this 2-bedroom sanctuary promises both style and serenity. The primary bedroom boasts a plush, extra-length queen bed while the secondary bedroom features a comforting standard queen bed. Each room, a haven in its own right, shares a well appointed full bathroom.

For moments of introspection or a quiet start to the day, both bedrooms open directly onto a secluded garden nook. This space, enveloped by nature, provides the perfect backdrop for meditation, enjoying a solitary coffee, or simply soaking in the serene mountain views.

The home's fully-equipped kitchen, though bohemian in essence, has upmarket finishes and amenities, allowing for gourmet culinary exploits. Adjacent to the living area, a dedicated work space stands ready for those times when work beckons, ensuring you stay productive amidst the tranquility.

Among the experiences Sycamore House offers, envision unwinding in a luxurious bath infused with essential oils as the day fades, or immersing yourself in a novel in the sunroom, where a day bed sits invitingly beneath the shade of a mature granadilla tree. Perhaps prepare a gourmet meal with fresh local ingredients, found at the Neighbourhood Farm, mere minutes away or light a fire and relax in the lush garden, observing the bird life that frequents the quiet space.

Parking is available for one vehicle within the premises and additional off-street parking for another 2 cars. The beach, a mere 5-15 minute drive away (see below), beckons for morning strolls or sunset reflections. And upon your return, the private garden's outdoor shower (cold only) ensures a refreshing rinse.

Sycamore House extends beyond mere accommodation—it offers transformative moments, be it through luxury indulgences, thoughtful amenities, or the simple, profound joy of being in a space so harmoniously designed.

We have been informed that somewhere on the listing, it says cold water only. I’ve checked over and over and cannot find it. Only the outdoor shower is cold water. There is not water in the house.

We request that you please keep any loud talking and noise to a minimum. As you will be able to tell the moment you step through the doors, the area is tranquil and peaceful and we would like all in the surrounding neighbourhood to enjoy it. Please no loud music or shouting.

The mature granadilla tree that covers the sunroom area, does produce condensation which drips down. This also attracts bee's that are only interested in the plant. If you are highly allergic to bee's, we request that you please reconsider booking this property, unless you have sufficient amenities at hand to assist you.

Please note that this property is not suitable for children under the age of 12. No pets allowed.

Please no 3rd party bookings unless you are an authorised company booking for employees as per the terms and conditions of Airbnb.

To open the space more, allowing more light, space and love into the home, the rafters have been exposed and ceiling removed. This means that the entire ceiling space is open to the rooms, bathroom, kitchen etc. There is a stable door for the 2nd bedroom (not all the way up) and a curtain drop as a door for the primary bedroom.

Please note this home only accommodates 4 people. No more than 4 people are allowed to stay over in the house at one time.
