SUMMERHILL
If you have dreamed of finding a place where you can get away from it all, relax and unwind and leave the cares of the world behind you, Summerhill is that place. Positioned atop a sand dune with nothing other then blue horizon in front of you. A special hideaway untouched by time and “progress” about 4 hours drive from cape Town.
Whale season is a great time for being entertained by the numerous whales that come to San Sebastian bay – you can sometimes hear whales blowing and there is always a show as they jump in rougher seas or glide slowly past beyond the breakers when the ocean is calm.
Days become slow, rhythms set by the changing tides. Low tide is good for swimming and walking for kilometres along the yellow sand to find that perfect swimming spot or beachcombing for shells and other treasures. High tide can be wild and exciting with waves crashing up the beach, time to build a sandcastle or beach fort with the endless supply of driftwood. Afternoons are lazy, a chance to find that perfect spot on the deck or in the hammock to read and sleep. Meals are always a focus, slowly prepared to satisfy the hunger one only gets from an excess of clean, fresh sea air and sunshine. Evenings are soft and warm as the sun sets over the distant mountains and the sky explodes with colour.
Head inland for a walk up the hill and along the road through the fynbos. Proteas and pristine fynbos abound. You are sure to find small treasures along the way – tortoises, hares, mongeese, porcupines and field mice amongst other small creatures and a multitude of bird species in the bushes. There are a number of small buck who roam the unfenced properties along the coast, regularly spotted as they use the road to move easily through the veld, but once seen they dart into and are lost in the fynbos within seconds.
Summerhill has all the ingredients for a holiday that you won’t forget, a chance to really unwind and get back to simplicity.
