Cape Town Hotels: Cape Point Peninsula Hotels

Quaint hotels and guesthouses can be found along the stretch from Muizenburg, famous for its vast white beach, to the St James outdoor tidal pool. If you stay in Fish Hoek, a quaint, 'dry' seaside town, there are plenty of opportunities for whale-watching. Enjoy a lazy Sunday morning breakfast at Olympia Café in Kalk Bay, overlooking the harbour that is dotted with brightly coloured boats.

Simonstown is a good option if you are longing for an English seaside town! The South African Navy is based here, and so there are plenty of historical attractions to visit. A few kilometres away, Boulder’s Beach is a world-famous penguin sanctuary and by staying in this secluded area you’ll be able to enjoy the coastal view from atop high cliffside boulders.
