Activities
Kalk Bay, a quaint fishing village and harbour is within walking distance where bartering with the colourful local fishermen for the catch of the day is a popular local custom. The village has a bohemian atmosphere and a morning spent exploring the various curio shops, antique dealers, restaurants, coffee shops and art dealers is a rewarding experience.
Both the world-renowned Boulders Beach Penguin Colony and Cape Point Nature Reserve are located nearby, as is Chapmans Peak Drive and the Constantia Wine Route (all within 20km).
Whale-watching is a favourite pastime in the False Bay area from early August through to mid-October each year. Enjoy whale-viewing by taking a stroll along the coastline for intimate views of these fascinating, gigantic mammals frolicking in the sunshine.
Hiking in Table Mountain National Park is a popular activity where a myriad of trails and a labyrinth of caves can be explored.
Simons Town (historic head quarters of the South African Navy) is a short drive away and offers a naval museum, interesting toy museum, dockside restaurants, trips to Seal Island and penguin watching at Boulders Beach.
Central Cape Town, Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Robben Island and The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront are all within a radius of 35 minutes by road.
