Villa St James is situated on the Cape Point Route, the playground of Cape Town and the Western Cape. The Cape Point Route is easy, affordable and accessible - just 30 minutes from Cape Town City Centre and 45 minutes from Cape Town International Airport and the Winelands.
This is not a "been there, bought the T-shirt" place. This is weather beaten faces and warm smiles. It’s real and it’s beautiful. With dramatic mountain ranges, and long ocean fronts, this is the stuff that you see in the movies.
The Cape Point Route spans 2 coastlines wrapped around a National Park which runs from Hout Bay on the Atlantic coastline, over Chapman’s Peak Drive, through Noordhoek & Kommetjie down to Cape Point itself. It traverses back up the False Bay coastline through Simon’s Town, Fish Hoek, Kalk Bay , St James to Muizenberg.
With an eclectic mix of seaside villages, 18 beaches to choose from, art & cultural experiences, interesting people, historical buildings, outdoor activities and aqua action, Cape Fynbos, Wildlife…and so much more. The Cape Point Route invites anyone and everyone to taste it, see it, live it, do it and experience it.
