Aqua Sands - Accommodation in
Summerstrand, Port Elizabeth,
Eastern Cape
Aqua
Sands is glamorous. Deborah, in red lipstick and a white linen dress,
is glamorous. She is a food stylist and husband Richard is a
philatelist (a stamp dealer – but glamorous too!). And their open-plan
contemporary home is a repository for an ever-changing, rotating
collection of fine art. The guest rooms, with their own separate
entrances, are blessed with crushed velvet or silk bedspreads, percale
cottons and mohair blankets, red gerberas in fish-bowls and
cactus-style soap dishes, an echo of the real cactus garden out there
next to the tranquil koi fish pond.

Breakfast
is served on the architecturally spectacular grey-slate-tiled patio
under steel and wood, offset with vibrant splashes of pink, purple and
cobalt paint blocks. This is surrounded by a lush garden where palm
trees intermingle with indigenous plants and giant aloes… and beyond
is the ocean, with safe bathing and sandy beaches a mere two minutes’
walk away. If that’s too far there’s always the large heated saline
pool, sauna and steam room within flopping distance of the breakfast
table. You may meet grandpa too – another asset
of the house – a champion fly-fisherman with photos to prove it. Come
here for a holiday and not just a stopover!
