Many guests choose to spend their days & nights locally. Enjoy breakfast al fresco with whales after an early swim in the tidal pool or in our garden pool.

Follow a Nature Reserve trail along the mountain starting only minutes from the grounds where scent-infused fynbos and glorious vistas compete with small game and colourful bird life for attention.

Wander down coastal boardwalks smelling the fresh, salty sea air. On your way to the surfer and 60’s hang out Muizenberg Village, exchange banter as you pass ever-hopeful local fishermen intent on catching dinner. Admire the palatial homes of Millionaires Mile. Pause at the historic Battle of Muizenberg site, home to a very short sea battle indeed! Stop at the gently eclectic Surfers Corner to admire ageing rockers and sun-tanned youth all seeking the ultimate wave. Sip a latté or munch an organic ice cream cone. Catch the vibe and the sun.

In the opposite direction stroll over rocks and sandy beaches to Dalebrooke’s tidal rock pools, a remarkable world heritage site. Join our consulting marine biologists for a riveting introduction to the rich, colourful and in some cases unique sea life. Be mesmerised by the quest of strange creatures for survival, food and reproduction. Five minutes on brings you to the laid-back Kalk Bay Village where you can pop into shops selling bric-à-brac, antiques, junk. There are wine bars, restaurants, coffee bars, theatres and more. Colourful boats arrive hourly at the working fishing harbour as seals providing competing entertainment.
