A Dreamy Weekend at Thyme and Tide: The Perfect Beachfront Escape for an Intimate Wedding

Writer: Ashley ChapmanAshley Chapman

This past weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the breath-taking Thyme and Tide beach house from The Beach House Collection in Yzerfontein. Nestled right on the shoreline, this stunning villa was not only the perfect escape but also the most idyllic venue for an intimate wedding celebration.

There’s something truly magical about celebrating love with the ocean as your backdrop. The salty breeze, the golden hues of sunset reflecting off the waves, and the sound of the tide rolling in—it all set the stage for an unforgettable wedding weekend. Thyme and Tide offers everything you could ask for in a beachfront venue: luxury, privacy, and a breath-taking setting. With its sprawling decks overlooking the dunes and waves, the space was made for golden hour toasts, barefoot dances under the stars, and moments that felt like pure magic.


For couples dreaming of an intimate coastal wedding, this place is a dream come true. The house provides a beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for a small ceremony, an elegant reception, and a weekend of celebration with close friends and family.



Inside the Coastal Haven


Stepping inside Thyme and Tide feels like walking into a Pinterest board of beach house perfection. The interior design is effortlessly chic—light, airy, and infused with a calm, coastal elegance. The combination of white-washed wood, natural textures, and large windows flooding the space with natural light makes for the ultimate seaside retreat.

Every detail, from the plush furnishings to the carefully curated décor, adds to the home’s luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re curled up with a book in the lounge, sipping coffee on the deck while watching the sunrise, or enjoying a long, lazy breakfast at the rustic dining table, the space invites you to slow down and soak in the beauty of the coast.

Why Property Photography Matters


Staying in such a stunning location reminded me of something crucial—photos sell the experience. In today’s world, where travellers and wedding couples browse online for the perfect venue or getaway, first impressions matter. And nothing creates a stronger first impression than stunning photography that captures the essence of a space.

As a photographer specializing in lifestyle, branding, and property photography, I know exactly how to showcase villas, Airbnb's, and boutique stays in their best light. Every detail—the way the light filters through sheer curtains in the morning, the texture of the wooden deck against the backdrop of the dunes, the way the spaces flow seamlessly from indoor to outdoor—these are the moments that make potential guests fall in love before they even step foot inside.

If you own a luxury villa, guesthouse, or Airbnb, professional photography is an investment that pays off. High-quality, well-composed images not only showcase your property’s unique charm but also attract the right guests who appreciate and value what you offer.
