Nightjar cottage

A brand new eco cottage in sleepy Scarborough, a conservation village bordering Cape Point National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the tip of the continent. One of the first tiny homes constructed with South African hemp and timber, this minimalistic sanctuary is nestled in a wild indigenous fynbos garden at the end of a cul-de-sac dirt road, a 10 min stroll from a gorgeous surfing beach. Unwind to the birdsong, and if you are lucky passing herds of eland or the distant blow of a whale.
