Set on the beach, in Kei Mouth, The Cobbles is a deluxe holiday home. This original charming beach house has 4 bedrooms and 4 modern bathrooms, with open plan living and views across the beach and into the ocean. Just imagine sitting on the patio, hot coffee in hand and watching the sun rise over the ocean...
We have solar power at 18 on Coral, The Loft, Nguni House and The Cobbles. It is a grid-tided system at this stage, which means that during the day and when it is sunny, the house is run on solar power. It has limited battery storage, and when necessary will use the electricity supply to boost the power required. However during load shedding, especially at night, we ask that guest are considerate and do not use the kettles, hairdryers, heaters and any other appliance that will pull too much power from the battery. This will ensure that there is plenty of reserve for lights, tv's and wifi .
We would like to remind guest to turn lights off when not in the room.
Our local municipal water relies on electrical pumps to pump water from the local water source to the filtration and water purification system, It is then pumped to header tanks and gravity fed to the village. We have plenty of water, however when there are power outages they can not pump water and during busy periods we run out of municipal water. The local owners and residence association (KMORA) and community does their very best to ensure that we dont run out of water, but sometimes it is unavoidable. We have a back-up rain water tanks, pressure pump and generator should the power be off over longer periods.
Julie-Anne lives across the road from Nguni House, The Loft & 18 on Coral so is on hand to welcome you at check in and to assist with anything you may need during your stay. The Corner House and Cobbles is a short 2 min drive away.
We have a lovely team of ladies that clean and service the accommodation daily, so that you dont have to worry about dishes etc while on holiday!
The Cobbles cleaning service is an additional extra.
We welcome well behaved pets.
