Makarios on Sea was the beach house of the Ballot family. Retirement for Louis and Antoinette meant demolishing the old property and building a self catering guest house.The modern kitchens are fully equipped for easy cooking.Quality finishes and practical layout for all units were paramount while planning our "retirement career" !. Visitors to Herold's Bay can share and enjoy the sound and smell of the sea. An extra benefit is to have a beach house for an ever growing family of grandchildren and their families ( one day!!) .....MAKARIOS means to blessed in abundance.......bringing families together...
Louis and Antoinette were high school sweethearts and got married after graduating at UPE. Louis worked for Old Mutual -an insurance company, and Antoinette was a high school teacher. We love to travel. As a family of 5 -holiday time was travel time! Except for exploring our own country overseas trips still bring back fond memories.We loved the outdoors and caravaning taught our family to share a small space.... and chores as well !
The Garden Route is well know for its exceptional beauty and indigenous forests. The N2 winds along the coast and there are a variety of places of interest to visit. Knysna, Mossel Bay, Oudtshoorn are all within 45 min drive. If your are a golfer your are spoilt for choice- 10 of the most beautiful courses in the RSA are all within 3 to 70 km from Makarios on Sea. Remember to pack your clubs!
