Area Description

Great mountain and beach walks! Walk to popular Fish Hoek beach, featuring: a kid's playground, restaurant, bistro, calm water and safe bathing (recently voted one of the safest beaches in the world). The temperature of the water here is approximately 5-7 degrees warmer than that off the beaches of the Atlantic Coast (Camps Bay, Hout Bay, etc).

World-renowned attractions, all within 10 minutes drive, include Cape Point Nature Reserve, Boulder's Beach Penguin Colony, Chapman ''''''s Peak Drive and the Constantia Wine Route. Table Mountain National Park is a 400metre walk away.

Whale watching is a favourite pastime in the False Bay area from early August through to mid-October each year. Enjoy whale watching from the comfort of your balcony, or you can take a stroll along the coastline for more intimate views of these fascinating, gigantic mammals frolicking in the sunshine.

Central Cape Town, Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Robben Island and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront are all within a radius of 35 minutes by car.
