Property Overview

Positioned directly on the beachfront in the highly sought-after Van Riebeeckstrand, this substantial coastal property presents an exceptional opportunity to develop a boutique BnB or high-performing short-term rental.

The home is designed to maximise its beachfront position, with expansive living areas and sea-facing rooms that enjoy uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean views stretching toward Table Mountain and Robben Island. The generous layout allows for flexible accommodation options, making it well suited to multiple guest suites, owner-managed BnB use, or premium holiday letting.

Indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly, creating an ideal setting for guests seeking a relaxed coastal lifestyle, whether for weekend escapes, extended holidays, or international travel.

Location and Lifestyle

Van Riebeeckstrand is one of Melkbosstrand’s most desirable beachfront pockets, known for its quiet streets, direct beach access, and unspoilt coastal character.

Guests enjoy immediate access to the beach for walking, swimming, surfing, and sunset experiences, while still being within close reach of Melkbosstrand’s restaurants, cafés, and local amenities. The area appeals strongly to holidaymakers looking for an authentic West Coast experience without the congestion of busier coastal suburbs.

The property is conveniently located within commuting distance of Cape Town, making it attractive to both local and international visitors. It also serves as a strategic base for exploring the West Coast, Durbanville wine routes, and surrounding nature attractions.

Why This Property Works as a BnB or Holiday Rental

The beachfront position is a key differentiator, offering a level of exclusivity that consistently drives demand and premium nightly rates. The size and configuration of the home allow for multiple income-generating rooms while still retaining comfortable communal spaces.

The lifestyle offering is a major drawcard, combining sea views, direct beach access, and a relaxed coastal environment. Properties in this area perform well in the short-term rental market due to limited beachfront supply and strong year-round tourism demand.
