Mermaid's Tail is set within the charming coastal town of Pringle Bay and is a great option to groups or families visiting this picturesque part of the Western Cape. The house is a 10 minute walk (600 metres) to the beach.
Accommodation
The house can accommodate 8 people in three formal bedrooms and a smaller fourth “sunroom” bedroom, which is separated from the lounge by a sliding door with curtains for privacy. All the bedrooms have mountain or sea views and the sunroom has lovely views to the sea and the swimming pool. There are 3 bathrooms, two are ensuite with showers and the third “family” bathroom has a bath and shower. Down duvets and all linens are supplied, including beach and bath towels. The lounge has a wood-burning heater, ideal for those chilly winter nights. Extra accommodation can be provided by arrangement as there is also a double sofa bed in the lounge.
Utilities
The open-plan kitchen is very well equipped and has two large fridge/freezers and a gas stove top with an electric oven. There is a separate scullery with a dishwasher. There is also a separate laundry/drying room with washing machine and tumble drier. There is 40 gb fibre wifi internet and a flat screen TV with full bouquet DSTV (satellite TV) and Netflix. In the event of power outages, there is an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) for the wifi and a portable inverter for the TV, as well as various battery powered l.e.d. emergency lights.
Convenience
The deck has sweeping mountain and sea views, a wood burning built-in braai/BBQ which also shelters the deck from the summer south-east prevailing wind. The fenced swimming pool is very popular in summer, with a light in the pool for night-time atmosphere. The house is conveniently located being a 10 minute walk from the beach and a 5 minute walk from the shops and restaurants in the village. Visitors can spend their days exploring the beautiful beaches as well as the nearby town attractions and wine farms. The more active guest can enjoy activities such as hiking trails, mountain biking, surfing and kite surfing.

Cannot recommend Mermaid’s Tail highly enough and will certainly be back
Wonderful family home that is fully kitted out to meet all needs, even in throes of load shedding. The attention to detail such as the provision of rusks and ice was appreciated as was the warm fire place in the comfy and homely lounge. The sparkling clean pool and outside braai area on the deck overlooking the ocean would have been used more had the weather been better, but... Read this review

What an absolutely amazing accommodation!
A truly comfortable home away from home experience. Fresh air, serene atmosphere, great view all around and the stars are so bright at night. This all made our stay so spectacular. I recommend Mermaids Tail to anyone seeking cosy and well sorted accommodation.
