🌊 About French Breeze – Self Catering Home
Welcome to French Breeze, a peaceful Glencairn ocean view villa set high on the mountainside above Simonstown. With wide-open views over False Bay, this modern 4-bedroom home offers the ideal escape for families, couples and nature-lovers just 60 minutes from Cape Town city centre.
Relax around the pool, share slow dinners on the deck, or enjoy cosy winter evenings by the fire pit — all while soaking in panoramic ocean views.
The home includes a small lift from the garage directly to the living level. It can comfortably take a wheelchair (though the home is not formally certified as wheelchair-accessible). We have, however, happily hosted wheelchair guests before.
DSTV & Netflix: please log in with your own accounts.
