Southern Suburbs
The Southern Suburbs of Cape
Town form one of the older and more gracious areas, with fine homes,
many trees, the
Constantia Wine Route
on the doorstep and popular shopping centres such as
Cavendish Square
in Claremont,
Constantia Village in Constantia and
the
Blue Route Mall in Tokai. The world-renowned
Kirstenbosch National Botanic Garden and beaches at Hout Bay and Muizenberg are easily
accessible. Newlands in the Southern Suburbs is the famous home of rugby
and cricket in the Western Cape and many international matches are
played at the hallowed grounds. This is a most popular area as a base
for exploring the Cape Peninsula and the South Western Cape

False Bay
The waters of False Bay
are usually warmer than the Atlantic side of the Cape Peninsula. A Whale
of A Time in Fish Hoek, offering bed & breakfast or self-catering
accommodation, is walking distance to Fish Hoek beach and is ideally
located for exploring historic Simonstown, atmospheric and trendy Kalk
Bay and the spectacular
Cape Point Nature Reserve and Table Mountain
National Parks Other parts of Cape
Town are easily accessible via good and scenic roads.

Accommodation
Atlantic Seaboard
Along the Atlantic
Seaboard, we offer bed & breakfast, (B&B) and self-catering
accommodation in Blouberg (including Bloubergstrand), Milnerton, Green
Point, Camps Bay, Llandudno and Hout Bay. The Hout Bay Harbour with its
Mariners Wharf
and boats trips is popular, as is the spectacular
Chapman's Peak Drive linking Hout Bay with Noordhoek and the Fish Hoek
Valley. From Blouberg and Milnerton, across Table Bay the familiar and
famous traditional backdrop of Table Mountain fills the horizon. Camps
Bay beachfront is one of the places to see and be seen.

Accommodation
City Bowl
(including V&A Waterfront)
For centrally located
self-catering or bed & breakfast (B&B) accommodation, with close access
to Cape Town City Centre and the V&A Waterfront, you need look no
further than the popular City Bowl suburbs. Establishments here often
have lovely views of Table Mountain above or the City of Cape Town
below. Some of the accommodation is within walking distance of central
Cape Town.

Nothern
Suburbs (The Tygerberg area)
A most convenient area
from which to reach not only Cape Town City Centre and the Waterfront,
but also the beaches of Blouberg, the shops of Canal Walk and rides at
Ratanga Junction in one direction and the winelands of Durbanville and
the shopping at Tygervalley in another. This area is also most
conveniently situated for trips to the wine regions of Paarl and
Stellenbosch.
Fairhaven and
Villa Bellini in Durbanville offer self-catering and bed & breakfast
accommodation and are also convenient
for business travellers.

Driving around Cape
Town
Most of the areas of Cape Town are linked together
by a system of freeways. Along the Peninsula Atlantic Seaboard and the
False Bay Coast, the roads are neither freeway nor dual carriageway, but
the scenery more than compensates for the lack of speed. If possible,
avoid the weekly "rush hours" radiating to the city centre in the
mornings (from about 6.45 am to about 8.30 am) and from the city centre
in the late afternoons (about 4.30pm to about 6.00pm and earlier on
Fridays)
