Location: South Africa » Eastern Cape » Sunshine Coast » Port ElizabethArtist's ParadiseArtist's ParadiseDescriptionFar away from the hustle and bustle of Jeffrey's Bay, yet near enough to enjoy its facilities, Artist's Paradise is a place to relax and to enjoy the calm and rural life. Artist's Paradise is a home-from-home farm-style guesthouse situated in the beautiful valley of Kabeljousriver - just a 5 min drive outside Jeffreys Bay and the beach. The guesthouse used to be a farm-house for nearly 100 years, but we succeeded in keeping the peaceful atmosphere. The art-studio of Adelheid Peltenburg is next to the guesthouse in the former horse-stable. Our artistic guests are free to make use of the studio. A selection of the paintings of Adelheid Peltenburg are exhibited [for sale] in the guesthouse. The farm has got a wide variety of nature: the wetlands of the Kabeljousriver, some original fynbos and rhenosterfields, dams and bushfields. The gentle sloping area surrounding the guesthouse has been ploughed and planted for grazing. Isolated clumps of indigenous shrubs have re-established on some lesser utilised areas of this wetland. ACCOMMODATION Dutch owner, Adelheid, offers comfortable en-suite bedrooms, lounge, dining-room with fireplace, library, TV room, covered vestibule, swimming-pool with covered bar-area and beautiful garden. Dinner is available on request. BREAKFAST We serve a continental breakfast: bread or small loafs, jam, cheese, yogurt, cereals, eggs, juice, milk, coffee or tea.
