The apartment is set back on the hillside away from the bustling main road. The
trendy and vibrant village is minutes away on foot.
The apartment maintains the ideal balance between quaint village living and
modern convenience. The furnishings are of a high standard; yet maintain an air
of casual comfort. The apartment is furnished with an eclectic mix to reflect

which to explore the South Peninsula, the rest of Cape Town and the
Wine lands.

harbour. Whales can often be seen close to the wall. (Watch out for big waves
during bad weather).

There is a strong focus on food in the
village, with an emphasis on seafood. There are many excellent restaurants &

James Beach, with its colourful beach boxes and tidal pool, is very popular with
young families.
For those who love to walk, the hills around
Kalk Bay offer good hiking. (Please
ensure that you are adequately prepared before setting out!) Scuba diving, water
sports, fishing, caving, boat trips and golf courses are all available nearby.
