Wake to the sound of waves crashing on the beach below; enjoying the view of the surfers making the most of the waves while you sip on a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee on your private deck; and then slipping into the adjacent rim flow pool for a refreshing pre-breakfast swim. This is the kind of idyllic beach life that awaits visitors to The Sands @ St Francis.
Rolling waves, dolphins and whales are the welcome that awaits at The Sands, an impressive white-walled thatched-roof residence with sweeping views of the sun-drenched beach and glistening sea. A relaxed and informal atmosphere is reflected in the African beach style décor. Spacious air-conditioned bedrooms offer luxury and style, each opening onto a private deck with breathtaking views of the beach below.
Five spacious en-suite bedrooms, all individually decorated in majestic African Beach style, come complete with state-of-the-art amenities, air conditioning, Jacuzzi and private timber decks overlooking the beach below.
The secluded pool deck and the adjacent steam room ensure complete relaxation and revitalisation. Beauty therapy and massage facilities are available on request.
Each of the guest house’s five luxuriously appointed en suite bedrooms also make the most of the addictive sea views, with large sliding doors and private decks strewn with comfy furniture. Once night falls, guests can sink into the glorious comfort of a steaming Jacuzzi bath before wrapping themselves in thick robes and enjoying the treat of a king sized bed, decked out in the finest Percale linen and topped with fluffy goose down duvets.
In-room amenities include:
Mini-bar and hospitality trays including mini Espresso Machine.
Air-conditioning and heating
Heated towel rails
Outdoor Showers (differs in some rooms)

The Beach
Surfers are drawn to this part of the coast for the legendary waves, often
joined by playful dolphins. Whales can be seen close to the shore during
winter and spring. Some good fishing spots can be found off the rocks.
Enjoy a variety of water sports or simply relax in the summer sun.
Summer: October- March
Winter: April - September
The Octagon Restaurant
Dining at The Sands is an equally inviting prospect, thanks in part to the spectacular view and mainly due to the talents of the resident chefs. Breakfasts consist of a well stocked continental buffet and an interesting array of cooked breakfast options. Light lunches (think fresh salads, sandwiches and wraps) are available on request, but the piece de resistance of any stay at The Sands is a three course candle lit dinner.
While the a la carte menu has an eclectic range of options, guests would do well to sample one of the many seafood dishes on offer – not only to taste some of the freshest seafood in the country, but also to experience the restaurant's’ speciality. To complete the meal, the staff are happy to recommend a bottle (or two) of fine South African wine from the well stocked Director’s Cellar. View our Wine List here.
