Beach lovers will return home dreaming of their time spent in a Sunset Crest villa.

You can even play golf when staying in paradise! There are two surprisingly tough golf courses in St James, both of which are in easy reach of a self catering Sunset Crest villa.

However, there is a whole world of entertainment available on land too. Walking, climbing, 4x4 driving and horse riding through the dense forests are a beautiful way to find out a little more about what makes the Platinum Coast so special, and come into contact with a few of the animals who call Sunset Crest home.
