About the home

77 Hillside is a newly renovated family holiday home that sleeps 7 on a self catering basis located in the delightful village of Fish Hoek, False Bay, South Africa. Please go to our website to see a video tour of the accommodation from your internet browser.

By day you can relax on the sun deck, cooling off in the splash pool as you watch the local fishermen ‘trekking’ in the bay for the local game fish - yellowtail. Within 500 metres easy walk you can be on the beach watching them sell the fish to the locals while the children play on the beach.

The world famous Boulders Penguin beach is just 3km’s away where your family can have a once in a lifetime experience, swimming with Penguins.

Within 30 minutes in a car you can experience two more of the Cape’s most treasured experiences. The Stellenbosch wine route and Cape Point Nature reserve, where the Indian and Atlantic Ocean’s meet, home to the Cape’s fynbos and wildlife.

Cocktails and a splash in the pool await you on your return after a fun filled day. Relax and enjoy the sun setting as the heat leaves the African day while you enjoy a traditional South African braai (barbecue) and watch the moon rise over the mountain and bay.

77 Hillside has a fully equipped open plan living area that flows onto the sun deck. Full satellite TV is available supplied by DSTV.

The accommodation has a fully functional videophone for entry to the property allowing you to screen your visitors from the comfort of your home

Across the Valley (2kms) and a 5-minute drive away is an 18-hole championship golf course - Clovelly Country Club. You can spot 77 Hillside from the tee box on the 14th!

77 Hillside - the view

The Western Cape region

Cape Town and Fish Hoek is the southern most tip of Africa, the home to the Rainbow Nation.

The history of South Africa is marked by migration, ethnic conflict, and the anti-Apartheid struggle. The Khoisan peoples are the aboriginal people of the region who have lived there for millennia. Black South Africans are believed to originate from the Great Lakes region of Africa in prehistoric times. White South Africans, descendants of later European migrations, regard themselves equally as products of South Africa, as do South Africa's Coloureds, Indians, Asians, and Jews.

The Cape Peninsula has a Mediterranean-type climate with well-defined seasons.

The winters are mild with an average minimum temperature of about 7° C.Winter is nonetheless a particularly beautiful time at the Cape as the vegetation regains its verdure and water pours from the mountain chain’s waterfalls, rivulets and ravines.

Summer, on the other hand, is warm and dry. During these months - November through February - the Peninsula has a South-East wind known locally as the Cape Doctor because it blows away pollution and cleans the air. The south-easter results in the many clear, sun-filled days which visitors find so appealing. Summer temperatures are relatively comfortable with the average maximum around 26° C.

The Cape Town / Fish Hoek area

Fish Hoek - Fish Hoek (meaning either Fish Corner, Fish Glen or fish-hook) is a coastal village nestled in a valley at the mouth of the Silvermine River, on the False Bay side of the Cape Peninsula in Cape Town, South Africa. It is the only village bordered by two mountains and two oceans.

Table Mountain - so known for is flat appearance and the cloud cover forming a table cloth. The mountain is accessible from almost anywhere on the Cape Peninsula however for the easiest route to the top, try the Cable car running every 30 minutes.

Robben Island - In 1961, South Africa's most notorious prison was established on Robben Island. Political prisoners of the anti-apartheid movement were kept here together with hardened criminals. The most prominent inmate was Nelson Mandela, who later became the first President of the new democratic South Africa. Here Mandela spent 27 years of his life in a tiny cell of 5 square metres.

Boulders Beach - is just down the road from 77 Hillside, so not only is the water warm and the scenery stunning, but you'll find an interesting wildlife relationship in action: here it's the penguins who rule and the people who make way for their diminutive neighbours. If you get to the beach early on a summer day you will be able to get yourself a spot on the beach where the public can picnic, build sandcastles and possibly even catch a wave with one of the Boulders' most famous residents because the beach belongs to the penguins.

Cape Point Nature Reserve - Cape Point Nature Reserve is perhaps the most scenically spectacular park in South Africa. It stretches over the buckling, fynbos-covered hills of the Cape Peninsula to the dramatic Cape of Storms. It's 30 minutes from 77 Hillside and the reserve boasts the Two Oceans restaurant - have your lunch overlooking the Indian Ocean and then take a stroll across to the wild Atlantic or to the very tip of the peninsula itself. The reserve protects many endangered animal and plant species, including four whale species, three dolphin species, four tortoise species, 250 bird species, and a reasonable selection of big game: stately-looking eland and the more startlingly patterned bontebok antelope, scampering baboons and dashing ostriches can be also seen on a drive through the pristine bush.

Cape Point - Cape Point itself is one of the greatest landmarks in the world, jutting like a rocky knife into the broiling Atlantic ocean. It was here that Bartholomeu Diaz, the Portuguese navigator, first rounded the Cape in 1488, searching for a trade route to India and the East. The large stone cross in the reserve commemorates his achievement.

Waterfront - Situated between Robben Island and Table Mountain in the heart of Cape Town's working harbour, the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront has become South Africa's most visited destination. Set against a backdrop of magnificent sea and mountain views, exciting shopping and entertainment venues are intermingled with imaginative office locations, world-class hotels and luxury apartments in the residential marina.

Stellenbosch Wine Route - The original Stellenbosch Wine Route was founded in 1971. There are more than 200 wine and grape producers within the boundaries of the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin classification. The Wine Route is divided into five sub-routes. Daily wine tasting, cellar tours and sales are offered at most cellars and many of these have restaurant and picnic facilities. Wine can be purchased at the cellar door. Your purchases of any given quantity can be delivered locally or internationally.

Chapman's Peak Drive - is one of the most spectacular coastal roads in South Africa. It starts at the picturesque fishing harbour of Hout Bay and then winds up to Chapman's Point, revealing breathtaking views of the sandy bays down below, until the road reaches sea level again in Fish Hoek valley.

Safari parks - As one of the world's leading safari destinations, the west cost (2 hour drive from 77 Hillside) you are able to combine wildlife, beach, sporting activities and cultural inspirations.
