These type of properties in Jeffreys Bay are becoming scarce. Hear the sounds of the Ocean in your home! Jeffreys Bay is named after Captain Jeffreys who sailed his cargo ship up and down the East Coast of South Africa on trading expeditions in the 1840's. During one of these trips an epidemic of scurvy broke out aboard his ship. He was forced to land his vessel and soon he realized the potential of the place where he had landed and built a primitive port on what is now the main beach. He erected the first house, a huge double-story mansion that was always known as "The White House" in 1850 and his family became the first White family to settle in the town.In 1852 Captain Jeffrey bought erf numbers 1,2,9 and 10 for a total of 79 British pounds.The Reilly family were a prominent family who first came to Jeffreys Bay in 1928 and Ken Reilly explained that, "Much of the building material for this house actually came from the timbers of Captain Jeffrey's ship." Mr Reilly showed me an original carved balustrade from the White House, together with the original ship's barometer, now 150 years old.
