externalThe Apartment

Enjoy tranquility in this newly furnished apartment set in well kept secure private gardens, close to a superb beach, to restaurants, shops and mountains and near Cape Town and Cape Point National Park. Fish Hoek's beautiful safe beach on the Indian Ocean side of the peninsula is on your doorstep, with one kilometre of white sand, a walkway by rocky pools and a children's playground next to the beach cafe making this an ideal spot for a family beach holiday, and for both recreational activities and relaxation, or equally for keen hikers, golfers, those intent on water sports or less energetic folk. Watch the whales and enjoy the spring flowers from August to December and enjoy the mild climate year-round.
The Western  Cape

The Cape Peninsula has a 'Mediterranean' climate and it is warm enough to enjoy the beaches and swimming all the year round. The peninsula offers many beaches on both False Bay and the Atlantic side, some great for surfing and others more tranquil and suitable for young children. There are opportunities for sailing, wind and kite surfing, diving, canoing and sea-kayaking. If you fancy horse riding you can ride along the five kilometre Long Beach or visit wine farms on horseback. 		beach

Cape Town / Fish Hoek Area

Mountains and nature conservation areas stretch 50 kilometres from Table Mountain in the city itself down to Cape Point and there are many hundreds of hiking, walking and climbing routes to suit everyone from families with young children and elderly folk to the most ambitious climbers. Mountain biking is very popular in the area, there are numerous bike trails in the mountains and bikes can be hired quite cheaply.

The nearby wine-routes of Constantia, Stellenbosch and Franchoek offer not only wine-tasting but spectacular scenery and excellent dining.

Within a couple of hours from Fish Hoek there are several game reserves where you can take a safari trip and see the Big Five, and many more animals, in the wild.

The area is a bird-watchers paradise with many coastal and inland lagoons areas noted for the variety of local and migratory species.

Dining out is very inexpensive in comparison to UK, US and European prices and there are very many excellent restaurants and cuisines to choose from.
