Property information

Located 100m from the famous surfing beach of Muizenberg, this is ideally located for the relaxed traveller or business person. A grand old house, with large rooms and luxurious comfort. We also have shuttle facilities to help access all of Cape Town

Neighbourhood information

Muizenberg is Cape Towns trendiest surf spot. It has been a hot spot for surfing and cultural exchange for many years. The best surf schools are also located here and you can learn to surf, SUP (stand-up paddle), surf-ski or Kite Surf when the wind is up. The water is warmer than the Atlantic side and therefor the beach is very popular for swimmers. There are numerous bars and restaurants within Muizenberg and lots of cultural experiences from art and antique shops to bird watching on the lagoon. Muizenberg is a chilled out and relaxing environment where the people are friendly and the vibe is awesome.
