The ocean-view deck
A huge covered deck wraps the house — long lunches, sundowners at the corner bar nook, and dune-framed ocean views in the morning light.
For sale · Tofinho, Tofo · Mozambique
A light-filled one-bedroom hideaway with a sweeping ocean-view deck, a short stroll from Tofinho Beach.
The house
Imagine coffee for two on a broad timber deck, the Indian Ocean glinting between the dunes. This is a house built for exactly that — simple, sunny and honest, in the quiet Tofinho corner of Tofo, one of Mozambique’s most loved beach towns.
Inside, the living is open-plan under a soaring thatch-and-timber ceiling: a sociable kitchen, room to lounge, and space to work remotely when the surf is flat. The bedroom — with its own ensuite bathroom — opens straight onto the deck through glass-paned doors.
Whether you’re after a holiday hideaway, a remote-work base or your first step into coastal Africa, it’s a rare thing: a real beach house at a starter-home price.
Highlights
A huge covered deck wraps the house — long lunches, sundowners at the corner bar nook, and dune-framed ocean views in the morning light.
Hardwood counters, big garden windows and that beautiful reed ceiling overhead. One easy space for cooking, eating and lazing about.
A romantic four-poster under a soft net canopy, with its own ensuite — and doors that open straight onto the deck for sea air all night.
