Uitwaaien Beach Cottage - 250m from the beach!
Pearly Beach is a serene coastal haven of endless white beaches and fynbos-covered dunes, a peaceful retreat to slow down, unwind, and escape life’s busyness.

With Philip’s Dutch heritage and our time living in the Netherlands, Uitwaaien holds special meaning for us. It reflects what we hope every guest experiences here: a place to breathe, restore, and reconnect.
