The Western Cape region

Our accommodation provides the perfect home away from home. It is conveniently located to visit all the must see attractions of the Cape South Peninsula and as a base or starting point for trips along the garden route.

The Cape South Peninsula is an extension of the city of Cape Town and is rightly known as "The Fairest Cape in all the World where two oceans the Atlantic and Indian and many cultures meet.." Spreading from the foot of Table Mountain, the region is reknowned for it's beauty, tranquility, adventure and excitement. There are endless things to do and places to see all year round, whatever your tastes, inclinations or budget, so much so that most people who go, book to go back again.

Amongst numerous wonderful attractions is the near-perfect Mediterranean climate, with very warm and usually very dry summers, and mild winters, known as the green season. There are also stunning views and landscapes, spectacular beaches and beautiful winelands only a short drive away.

The Simonstown / Seaforth area

Our accommodation is on the Eastern side of the Cape, in False Bay. We chose this location as the beaches on False Bay are beautiful golden sand and the water is often 5C, or more, warmer than on the Atlantic side and can reach 20C in summer. This makes swimming far more pleasant.

Seaforth is just a 15 minute walk from Simonstown - an historical naval town steeped in history. Simonstown has some fabulous restaurants, shops and galleries and a harbour where several boat trips can take you round the naval yard and out to seal island.

Between July and December, False Bay is a favoured haunt for whales and their calves and they often come very close to the shore. You can see them from the the cottage. The Spring months of August and September bring a blanket of beautiful flowers across the region.

Other attractions on this side include: the Boulders Beach penguin colony, a must-see for anyone visiting Cape Town; Cape Point, the most Southwesterly point of Africa, and the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, which offers truly awesome scenery, some fantastic walks and deserted beaches, plus the chance to spot rare wildlife, as well as the famous baboons; the shops, restaurants and harbour of Simons Town; the beaches of Muizenburg and Fish Hoek; and many fantastic restaurants including the renowned Brass Bell, at Kalk Bay.

The city is only 45 minutes drive away, where other must see attractions include the shops, aquarium and boat trips to Robben Island at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

There is also a train service from the city centre through to Simon's Town. It hugs the coast from Muizenberg to Simon's Town, offering spectacular views across the bay and to the Hottentots-Holland mountain range, stopping at St James, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek and Glencairn on the way.
