    You can sit outside the entire day watching the people, kids and dogs on the beach and take in the relaxing and quiet atmosphere. The house is so homey filled with everything you need from books to read to a kitchen filled with all things needed...

    Location and position on seafront. Excellent views. Not the completely modern or new house, but totally sufficient with all the amenities for a pleasant and comfortable stay away from home.

Joan Se Plek (Joan's Place) is situated on the Britannia Bay shoreline with spectacular views of the beach. It is a warm and inviting, much loved and celebrated family home that celebrates both traditional and eclectic styles. With direct access to the rocky pools in front of the property and Golden Mile beach, you'll enjoy serene and stunning views of the Atlantic ocean. Enjoy the spacious kitchen, pantry, large family-sized dining area and a cozy and comfortable living room - all with open views of the sea. There is a separate TV room, so there is loads of space for everyone to relax. Joan Se Plek is ideal for large families or a group of friends and sleeps up to eight people. There are four rooms and three bathrooms - and a large inner courtyard that connects two of the rooms, the hallway and the living area. The courtyard has a large outdoor table and can be used for dining as well. Bring your family and friends and come enjoy the rest and comfort that Joan Se Plek will bring.
Hello! I'm Elani Louw. Joan Se Plek is close to my heart, so you'll be in good hands! I will do everything I can to make your stay memorable.
Britannia Bay offers acres of unspoilt, safe beaches. The bay is very protected and the water is slightly warmer than most places on the West Coast, due to the Benguela current not entering the bay. The bay teems with Southern Right and Humpback whales for up to ten months of the year which are always a delight to watch as are the scores of resident dolphin. Heaviside's (endemic to the area) and Dusky dolphins are often seen to follow the little boats used by holiday makers. The safe launching site for small craft makes Britannia Bay ideal for water sports and Seal Island is only 10 minutes away by small boat. Seal Island is perfect for fishing, diving and Cray-fishing. Britannia Bay is home to over 200 bird species which attend to indigenous flowers at the turn of Spring. Internationally renowned among ornithologists, the nearby West Coast National Park is one of the world’s most important bird sanctuaries, providing a haven for some 256 bird species. Also of interest are the neighbouring Berg River estuary and the Rocherpan Nature Reserve are well worth a visit.
