Fairwater - Fabulous family cottage, walk to the beaches, pools and a kid's park

Fairwater is great for inter-generational family holidays. There is plenty of space for shared activities and yet privacy too. There are 4 large bedrooms; 3 upstairs, 2 of them ensuite, 1 downstairs also ensuite. The main bedroom opens onto a veranda with a view of the park and the sea. There are loads of cupboards and comfortable new beds. The fully equipped kitchen allows for relaxed family meals and easy entertaining. The garage takes 2 cars.

The cottage was first built in 1890 and is made of sandstone on the ground floor. It's original and authentic and has a quirky charm. It is not the Ritz and doesn't pretend to be, but if you're charmed by unique, historic cottages, furnished with some Cape and French antiques, Fairwater will capture your heart. .

A real gem in Kalkbay
We had a lovely stay at Fairwater. Very well equipped, tastefully decorated, spacious even if it is a cottage and close to everything in Kalkbay. Helpful and very nice hosts!

Fairwater
We had a wonderful stay at Fairwater in Kalk Bay. Louise was fantastic to deal with and ensured that we had everything we needed. The house is in a great location and is very well maintained. If you stay there be sure to check out Bob's Bagels and Damn Fine Coffee Roastery right on your doorstep. It definitely lives up to its name and is the perfect place to grab breakfast.

Absolutely perfect
This is a really lovely place to stay. The home is very comfortable and spacious, and fully equipped with everything you might need, including firewood for chilly nights. The location is fantastic- restaurants and shops and waterfront a short 3 minute walk. And a park for the kids to play right across the street! Host is great, very professional---really good communication, made sure we were all sorted and everything in order. Absolutely recommend staying here.

Fantastic spot
Fairwater provided a wonderful environment for our reunion of old friends. It is beautifully located -- just a short walk from the heart of Kalk Bay and a trail up the mountain -- and extremely homey. We appreciated the tasteful, (truly!) comfortable furnishings, which afforded leisurely meals and extended chats around the fireplace. The layout is conducive to everyone having a bit of their own space. I really loved how quiet the house was -- I never knew who was up til I went downstairs! I will relish the memories of delicious cappucinos in the rose garden! Highly recommend this place!

Geweldige lokatie en een fijn huis om te verblijven.
De woning is erg gezellig en comfortabel ingericht en is geschikt voor 8 personen. klein nadeel is dat er slechts 3 badkamers zijn waardoor 1 echtpaar een badkamer van een ander moet delen die allemaal op de kamer zijn. Dit vraag wat afstemming. Verder is dit huis een absolute aanrader op een geweldige lokatie. Kalkbay is gezellig heeft genoeg restaurants voor ontbijt, lunch en diner met als absolute topper Harbour House. We komen hier zeker terug met dank aan Louise Parr!
