A quieter village further up the coast, with houses that don't always have someone home
Blinds, roller shutters and awnings for Melkbosstrand's low-rise coastal homes — a good number of them holiday houses, standing closed for weeks at a time between visits.
Village pace, holiday-house rhythm
Melkbosstrand sits further up the coast from Big Bay, past the density of the newer developments, and it keeps a genuinely quieter, low-rise village character — closer in feel to the West Coast towns beyond it than to the city. A meaningful share of the housing stock here has always served as holiday homes rather than full-time residences, which changes the brief in a specific way: a lot of these properties stand shut for stretches between visits, with nobody there to notice a stuck chain or a chalked-up track until the next time the family arrives.
How we specify for Melkbosstrand
Low-maintenance, closed-up-for-weeks reliability matters as much here as day-to-day usability. Full blockout roller blinds with the option of drawing every one down before the house is left empty are a common request, alongside roller shutters specified for their shading and blackout value on a house that's going to sit unattended through the week — a genuinely useful feature on a part-time home, distinct from any security claim we'd make about the product. Hardware gets the same salt-air treatment as the rest of this coastline, but with an eye to what survives a month of no one wiping anything down: sealed cassettes, powder-coated aluminium, and motorised control that a family can trust to still work correctly on the first weekend back.
A Melkbosstrand blind has to work perfectly on the one Friday a month someone's actually there to use it.
