Leading off from the kitchen are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 en-suite). The master bedroom is home to large double bed, built-in storage and its own en-suite bathroom with shower, bath and toilet. The master bedroom has its own access to the verandah through large sliding doors. On a hot day, open them up and enjoy the soothing sound of the waves crashing and the refreshing breeze coming off the ocean.
Heading back down the passage, you'll find on your left a spacious bathroom with shower, bath and toilet. After a long sun filled day on the beach, there is nothing better than coming back to a long soak in the bath or a quick shower for the kids to get rid of any unwanted beach sand.
Before entering the first of the two other bedrooms, you have access to both a washing machine and tumble dryer giving you the luxury of not having to source local laundromats. The first of the other two bedrooms features a double bed and built-in wall cupboards, providing you with ample storage space.
The second bedroom also features built-in wall cupboards but, opposed to a double bed, this room features two singles. Ideal for the children.
The complex sports a communal pool which is a great alternative to getting knocked around by the waves if you feel like a more relaxing option. Right next to the pool are several braai areas if you feel like socialising with other occupants of the complex. Also available to you is completely secure parking.
Outside of the complex, Ramsgate has a lot to offer. With a variety of pubs and restaurants you're sure to enjoy your evenings without having to venture too far out. A popular spot to visit in Ramsgate is the incredibly popular
