Description
Bathed in natural light and wrapped in leafy coastal surroundings, Poplar House is a vibrant, character-filled retreat where warm timber beams, natural textures, and bursts of colour set the tone for relaxed seaside living. Thoughtfully designed for both social gatherings and serene escapes, this spacious home offers ocean glimpses, multiple living zones, and a seamless flow between indoors and out.
Whether you’re cooking in the open-plan kitchen with its striking fish-scale tiles, sharing meals around the long farmhouse dining table, or unwinding beside the wood-burning stove, Poplar House delivers comfort with personality. Wide stacking doors invite in the fresh sea breeze, while a spacious deck, pool, and garden encourage slow, sunny days outdoors.

The house was better than on the pictures. Great flow, lovely furniture and art in the house. We had an amazing time and really recommend this house. Close to beach easy access to town center. Everything on point!👌 What an incredible 3 night stay we had! The house was so accommodating with multiple indoor and outdoor seating and entertainment areas. Beautiful decor, large bedrooms and huge open plan kitchen/ dining/ lounge. The best part was the location, so close to Voelklip and Grotto beaches and easy access to the Cliff Path. Will be back soon. Thank you Corné! Отличный дом. Очень интересный интерьер. Дизайнерская посуда. Есть все необходимое. Рядом можно прогуляться возле океана. Китов можно наблюдать прямо из окон. Чистота. Порядок. Тишина. Спасибо большое хозяевам за теплый прием. Обязательно вернемся и не раз🙌🫶
