The House
Wildehaven is inside the secure St Francis Links estate, a short walk from the driving range and the clubhouse. Upstairs, the bedrooms open onto a wraparound terrace looking over the driving range, with the sea beyond. Downstairs, a long covered veranda with white columns wraps around the living space and leads to the walled pool courtyard.
The four bedrooms have eight single beds, so two full four-balls each get their own bed. For couples, two of the rooms can be made up as kings instead, giving two kings and four singles. A golf cart is available to hire for your stay, so you can drive straight from the house to the first tee.

St Francis Links
Laid out through the coastal dunes and opened in 2007, the Links has contoured greens, natural water hazards fed by the Sand River and the sea on the horizon. It has hosted the Sunshine Tour's PGA Championship. After your round, the clubhouse has a terrace, restaurant, bar, pro shop and spa.
