Marais Manor on Marine Drive may be the answer. This large property appears modest from the road. A nice escape at the end of a long day. Entering the property, which is perfectly paved with manicured, easy-to-maintain grounds, is a breathtaking experience. The sheer size of the courtyard and structures on the property is amazing. As the security access gates close behind you, the strategically placed water features and bird baths in the garden drown out the noises of passing traffic, giving you the impression of having left the outside world.

It was built in 1934 and was once known as "The Tower". Interestingly, it was the first double-story house equipped with a telephone. Major changes were made to the house in 1955, when the land was subdivided. In 1994, the property was extensively developed. The present owner purchased the property in 2001, and by 2003, Marais Manor (formerly titled Anstey's Beach Guest House) had officially opened as a highly lucrative guesthouse.

As you approach the main home, there is a magnificent hand basin on a pedestal for washing off the grime from the outside. Beyond that is a spacious open-plan living/dining area with a magnificent, black-surfaced pool. A full bar and entertainment area awaits to the right of the living room, complete with a cozy, private jacuzzi hidden beneath a thatched roof, as well as a separate dining and lounge space. The L-shaped kitchen is attractively furnished, with an amazing hand-made table that can comfortably seat 14 guests, where you may enjoy wonderful meals prepared by the chef. A beautiful handcrafted door opens from the kitchen into the front garden. The property has four bedrooms, each with an ensuite and a full guest bathroom. Wake up to breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean from your main bedroom.

Above the three-car garage is an open-concept bachelor apartment that can also serve as a large conference space. Two additional en-suite bedrooms and a storage room are located in front of the garage. At the other end is a magnificent four-bedroom guest house that is currently used as an office. This property can accommodate 15 people, but the guest house, which can easily be transformed into bedrooms, can house up to 21 visitors. Seven jojo tanks are carefully hidden on the property, providing purified drinking and backup water for the entire property for up to three weeks.

A separate, full-size washing room and double staff quarters are tucked away on the property's side. There are 22 air conditioners installed throughout the property for increased comfort during the hot summer months, including in the kitchen, laundry area, and staff rooms.

The rear of the property is an entertainer's dream, with a private garden where you can curl up with a good book and enjoy the sea views, warm up on cool nights in front of a bonfire, spend quality time with family, friends, and guests at either of the two braai areas, and keep an eye on the kids in the pool.
