Keurboomstrand Property
Keurboomstrand, known as Keurbooms, is a small coastal town that is named after the indigenous Keurboom tree (genus: virgilia) with its distinct pretty pink pea-shaped flowers. It is a 10 minute drive to the North East from Plettenberg Bay.
The main attractions of Keurbooms are its long, unspoiled white-sand beaches, and its unique small coastal town atmosphere. The picturesque Matjies River mouth and the Arch Rock formation is a short walk away along stunning, quiet beaches. On the ridge overlooking the mouth is an 11,000 year old Bushmen Cave complete with one of the world's largest shell middens. It is a national monument.
To the south is the Keurbooms River, which is one of the most scenic estuaries in South Africa. There is a large lagoon, a bird sanctuary along the coastal dune, a river with sand beaches that goes all the way up through coastal forest to Whisky Creek where you will find a charming, secluded wooden bungalow, which can be booked for overnight accommodation, along with canoe rentals, through Nature Conservation (+27 44 533 2125). Bird and nature lovers will love this.
The property market in Keurbooms has a higher average than that of Plettenberg Bay, which is already much higher than the national average. The closer to the beach and the better the sea view, the higher the value, with a big premium placed on beachfront and riverfront property. The values are high due to the limited supply and high demand. Properties in the town are freehold houses, though there are a few sectional title developments closer to the Keurbooms River. There is a range in quality from older beach style cottages to very upmarket modern homes.
Some of the most sought after beachfront properties can be found in Whales Haven, Dolphin Park & The waves. These estates all boast access control and harmonious design guidelines.
Accommodation includes a campsite, self-catering cottages, and holiday home rentals.
You can indulge all of your water sport desires in and around Keurbooms: fishing, surfing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, boating, skiing, kite-boarding, cliff diving/jumping, ferry cruises, etc.
