Tucked away down the seaside lanes of Struisbaai, settled upon the dunes that meet the Cape Agulhas in the Overberg, Despacito reveals its white beach house walls, that nod to a Mexican-inspired sanctuary. There’s something delightfully unique about Struisbaai. According to the owner of Despacito, it’s as good as a tropical island getaway, without the palm trees and the Piña Coladas. More of a rustic, raw and rugged, laidback stillness. Turquoise waters and long stretches of pearly white sands. Fynbos veld amongst the dunes. And a venerable South African vintage in the ice bucket. As the Spanish name suggests, slowly does it. Despacito implores you and your giddy holiday clan to go as gently as the waves rise and fall on the Overberg beach. Drifting through your days beside the sea in a resplendent state of resignation. Answering to the call of ice cream, the sounds of the seagulls flocking to the fisherman’s market, and the pacifying pace of a summer’s day. Yes, this old fishing village seems to be dishing up the good life in buckets and spades of simplicity. From the southernmost point of Africa. Less than a 100 metres from the shoreline, Despacito digs her Mexican-inspired white-washed walls into the vanilla sands and layers little pockets of living, cooking, gathering and entertaining spaces like a beach hacienda does best. Cocooning from the wind, opening out to the sun, nurturing the nature, and welcoming the light. All of the rich earthy textures and tones generously displayed throughout the home, adding to the sentiment of taking things slow.

Despacito is less than 1 minute walk from Struisbaai's Blue Flag beach. The longest white sand beach in the Southern Hemisphere. It's a short 10 minute drive to the Southernmost Tip of Africa monument. There are a number of beautiful long nature walks along the beach and into the reserve. Head to Struisbaai-Plaat, climb the lighthouse, and visit the fish market for an adventure. The southernmost tip of Africa is only a 4-5Km drive away from the beach house. It’s a coastal village so there only a couple of convenience stores for you to stock up on your supplies. But that’s all part of the charm! For a fun family morning of activities, join in on the humour at Robbie’s Surf School and try to catch some of the very tame waves on the beach. The home- built by the owner – has been beautifully designed to accommodate the changing temperament with the wind. You and the clan will never feel ‘stuck’ in the house, or smothered by one another when the wind blows. There’s a place and an activity for everyone. Struisbaai is considered to have a higher concentration of whales than Hermanus! It’s home to a plethora of oceanic wildlife to have the binoculars at the ready, at all times.
