A conventional trip to Africa would most likely mean endless safaris for most people. Taking pictures of lions and hippos while exploring the hot and dusty plains of the region on an open four-by-four is the stereotypical idea. But there are actually other things you can do and different adventures you can get into if you're planning to venture into South Africa.
Some of the coasts on the tip of the continent have great potentials for explorations. Port Nolloth for instance was once a transshipment port for copper and diamonds but has now been converted into a port for small fishing vessels and recreational boats.
Next to Port Nolloth is McDougalls Bay, a picturesque inlet that has become a great destination for snorkeling, canoeing, and wind surfing.
If you're attracted by the idea of having your vacation in an obscure bay on the tip of South Africa, then better check out House McDouglas, a small sea cottage located near the McDougalls Bay. House McDouglas may be far from the five-star villas and beach side hotels of well-known tourist spots but it offers a traditional, idyllic charm that would definitely give a unique twist to your beach getaway.
House McDouglas has four bedrooms, one bathroom, and a separate toilet and can accommodate up to eight people. The full-service kitchen is equipped with microwave, stove, refrigerator, and separate freezer. A TV and satellite dish are provided as well. House McDouglas also provides linens and towels for its guests.
