We are just 15 minutes from George with all its shops, malls, restaurants, cinemas and airport.
Ballots Bay is sheltered from most winds, it is the perfect retreat for angler, beach lover or nature enthusiast. The rocky aquamarine cove sparkles like a jewel at the foot of a verdant river valley, hence the name Ballot’s Bay, a treasure chest of nature!
