A true wilderness accommodation on the beach in the Tree House

Ballots Bay Tree House is unique in that it's a house in the trees, on a cliff side, and on the beach. It's not possible to get closer to the beach than this in Ballots Bay - you are literally the first house on the water. It's called the Tree House, in that it ascends steeply into the canopy of the old growth Milkwood trees that are typical of the beautiful Garden Route Wilderness area.

The house looks down on the pebble beach and over the Meulen River lagoon where you can watch cormorant perform their water-ski landings. Soak away your troubles in the wood fired hot tub on the deck and watch dozens of species of birds soaring over the cliffs, that tower above the house. Or alternatively you can look out to sea and watch pods of dolphins play or lookout for the telltale puff of mist from a whales blow hole. This really is a great place to do nothing, all day long.

Sadly No Pets. No Smoking in the house.

It comprises of 3 bedrooms downstairs and an open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen upstairs - connected to nature by a generous deck with a Wood Fired Hot Tub to soak up the mountain, river and seafront views. Amazing!

A little bit about the Bay Area and Beach Braai

Just below the house and slightly removed is a communal braai area where residents and their guests can enjoy a braai on the beach! There are 2 different braai spots, one closer to the sea and the other slightly set back and protected from the onshore winds.

There is a clean toilet and outside shower for your convenience too. Because Ballots Bay is inside George Private Nature Reserve and therefore not accesible to the general public, you are safe and crowd free. You will meet only local residents or holiday makers and the atmosphere on the beach is friendly and relaxed. Say "Hello" and spend time chatting to happy, friendly people!
