The Deck is the perfect place for surfers & beach-lovers!

The Deck

Jeffrey’s Bay is a well-known paradise for surfers in the Eastern Cape. With competitions and ‘tubular’ waves occurring on a regular basis, the travelling surfer needs a great place to stay when visiting J-Bay.

Luckily The Deck self-catering accommodation, owned by Beach Gypsy, has just what you need for a great and relaxing stay.

The Deck was created by owners Sean and Colette McGeer in January 2018 and they live on the property with their son Ryan.

They have been involved with the circus for many years and performed many death-defying stunts on the trapeze. Colette was one of the first women to ever catch a man on the flying trapeze.

“Sean and Colette are the best hosts to welcome you at this fantastic self-catering unit. A stunning, neat and spacious accommodation with the most amazing view.” – Ilse TripAdvisor.

Situated in Wavecrest, Jeffrey’s Bay, Beach Gypsy’s The Deck, is a beautiful self-catering flatlet that offers beautiful views of the ocean, which is within walking distance. A downstairs unit, The Deck is fully furnished with a private deck and a separate entrance up a short flight of stairs

The Deck is tastefully decorated and gives off a relaxing beach-lover vibe. With shells strewn about and beautiful photos of the beach at sunset along the walls; you can tell that the owners have a true love for the sea and surfing – even their doorbell has the tune for The Little Mermaid’s Under the Sea!

One bedroom is furnished with a Queen-sized bed and a single bed. A double sleeper couch is situated in the living room as well as a hide-away bunkbed. Bed linen and towels are provided during your stay.

Easy access to the beach & local restaurants

The location provides easy access to the Super Tubes as well as the shops and restaurants of Jeffrey’s Bay. Whether you want to head to the beach to Hang Ten or go to one of the local restaurants and eat out with your family and friends, you can do it all!

“Really nice place, and the hosts, Sean and Collette were very friendly and helpful. It’s a nicely laid out apartment with loads of little things that make it cosy. Well situated and definitely worth a stay.” – Getaway TripAdvisor.

For the regular beach-goer, outside showers are available at The Deck for your convenience. A braai is available on the private balcony so you can enjoy a sundowner while cooking under the night sky with all your friends and family.

A double sliding glass door allows for easy access to the private deck which leads to the small staircase towards the outside showers and leads towards the beach.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
