Mary's shepherd's huts are a wonderful way to experience these incredible and historic wagon-residences. We loved thumbing through the book in the hut that talked about their intriguing history.
It was magical to fall asleep and wake up to the soft sound of surf under a canopy of milkwood trees. It's perfect for a single or a couple - it kept the two of us very toasty and warm even as the temperatures dipped and the wind picked up after dark.
Less than a two-minute walk to the beach and in a lovely garden, the location is stunning. The restaurants and shop are a short and pretty walk away. Being so close to the beach, we took full advantage - walking to the Slangkop lighthouse for sunset on evening, and beginning our morning with a surf and then a long walk up around Klein Slangkop and past the Kakapo shipwreck to Monkey Valley in Noordhoek for a lunch overlooking the beach.
Mary is lovely and the perfect hostess; she gave us great advice for our stay and was so warm and friendly - we can't wait to stay with her again!
