Rent Villa Otter South Africa

After finding Villa Otter in a tranquil cul-de-sac flush with fynbos, guests enter the beachfront villa through an enclosed Mallorcan-inspired cobbled courtyard. From here guests will find an airy open-plan living and dining area which leads out to the patio and swimming pool. This spacious room, flooded with natural light from panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows gazing out on a sprawling expanse of mountains, sea and sky, is replete with plush sofas, cosy wood-burning fireplace, and a tastefully coastal décor.

Adjacent to the dining area is the fully equipped kitchen, complete with a range of modern appliances and ample counterspace for culinary enthusiasts to indulge their passion. Whether its tossing together a summer salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends, this kitchen has you covered.

Villa Otter boasts four well-appointed bedrooms. The spacious main bedroom features sun-speckled courtyard access, a super-king-sized bed, ensuite including a spa bath, and its own lounge area warmed by a crackling fireplace. Two additional bedrooms boast queen-sized beds and share a centrally located bathroom with shower and WC. A fourth bedroom, situated above the detached entertainment area, offers expansive ocean views from its own private patio, as well as an ensuite.

Despite Villa Otter’s stylish and comforting interiors, it is the spectacular outdoor spaces that make this holiday home a singular and unforgettable experience. Stepping out onto the terrace reveals an al fresco dining area beside the inviting swimming pool. Surrounded by the panorama of Betty’s Bay, lush coastal shrubbery and breath-taking mountains, this is a setting that stuns guests into a state of serenity.

In short, Villa Otter is an immersive experience where nature meets opulence, and every moment is an opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones. Discover a home away from home in the heart of the Overberg, where comfort, style, and natural beauty come together.
