Relax on the large patio and admire the sea views, or around the communal rim-flow swimming pool with a large deck overlooking the ocean. There are only 2 floors in the complex, and this light and airy 6 sleeper unit is on the top floor, with thatch ceilings and skylights in the living area.
The apartment comprises 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open-plan kitchen as well as a dining and living area, and large patio with outside dining table and weber braai. The main bedroom has access to the patio and features a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower. The second and third bedrooms each have 2 single beds and both share a bathroom with a shower. The second bedroom leads out onto the patio while the third bedroom has its own small balcony. All the bedrooms have ceiling fans and bath and beach towels are provided.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering with a fridge-freezer combination, oven, hob, microwave, washing machine and a tumble dryer. The dining area has a 6-seater dining table while the lounge offers a flat-screen TV with DStv Premium channels. The living area opens onto the patio with outdoor table and chairs, portable braai facility and stunning views.
Free WiFi.
There is secure parking within the grounds for 2 vehicles of which an undercover parking bay is provided, as well as an additional, open parking bay.
Guests can walk to Chaka's Rock beach and Thompson's Bay beach, both of which are on either side of the complex and both approximately a 250 m walk on the main road. Alternatively take the path, which leads from within the complex grounds to a small secluded beach - perfect for a dip during low tide. From there one can also walk along the rocks to both popular beaches, though only when the tide is low.
Regrettably, we do not take matric or student bookings unaccompanied by parents, especially during the Matric Rage, due to Body Corporate rules.

17 guests' feedbackThe place was beautiful, equally the hosts.
We made memories that will stay with us for a long time!
The place looked amazing and we felt immediately comfortable. The view is hard to beat, looking straight out over the ocean. The most complicated thing was the gas braai, which Brenda and her husband were incredibly supportive of in getting started. Thank you so much!
The view is fantastic. The apartment is very spacious and has almost everything you could need. The washing machine was a bonus to get the clothes clean before we returned home. But there were really very steep stairs to climb. If you have any problem climbing stairs, be warned. The gas barbecue on the stoep was nice because you can barbecue and enjoy the view. The braai only struggled a little because the sea took its toll on him. The unit was mostly clean, but the bathrooms need more attention. The tiles and shower doors were not very clean and the previous guests' sea pore remains were still there. But we had a nice stay.
Very neat, everything and more that one needs. Would definitely recommend the stay.
One of my best sea holidays ever, the apartment was beautiful, spacious and clean. The owner treated me to a bottle of champagne for my birthday. Dearest people, I will definitely come here again for a holiday.
We enjoyed our stay as it was so close to the ocean and to the beach. Kitchen was very well equipped and a very friendly host.
The apartment is close to the beach and very tidy. The owner, Brenda is very helpful and friendly.
Beautiful flat, very friendly owner, quick responses, super equipment with everything that you might need, nice view on the ocean. Late checkout has been offered although we haven't even asked for it. There is nothing we could complain about! We could have stayed there forever.
Beautiful, spacious place with everything you need. Very neat and beautiful view! Brenda's hospitality was amazing. Definitely recommend 18 The Island! For sure one of the best places we have stayed!
For older persons this unit has quite a few stairs to access the unit.
Everything went smoothly and I would easily recommend it.
The owner Brenda, is so friendly and willing to go the extra mile. The place has an unforgettable view of the sea. The place has everything one needs and more. Walking distance from the beach. Very neat and safe.
The apartment has everything you need. The view is breathtaking.
Very friendly and helpful owner. Do not believe the unit is up to standard in terms of similar accommodation available. It has a fantastic location and view, but the unit needs a lot of maintenance. The stove plates, loose carpets and braai were not clean at all. There was feather linen in the master bedroom and some people may be allergic to it. Overall: fantastic view and location, but older apartment that needs a lot of work and items were not clean here and there.
Brenda and Glyn you guys will stay in our hearts forever. Thanks for the best vacation ever in the most beautiful place of yours. Thanks for all your love and effort. Stunning two people. Will return soon.
We enjoyed our stay. Awesome ocean view. Spacious living areas. The unit has all you need.
