Simon’s Town is a historic naval town on the False Bay coastline, known for its charming streets, colonial architecture, and relaxed seaside atmosphere. Just 45 minutes from Cape Town, it offers a quieter alternative to the city without sacrificing character or convenience.

Boulders Beach is the town’s biggest drawcard, with its famous colony of African penguins and sheltered swimming spots. But there’s more to explore – local cafés, small museums, kayak tours, mountain trails, and scenic coastal drives make Simon’s Town a favourite for both weekend escapes and longer stays.

Perched above the coastline, African Sunrise is a grand, seven-bedroom holiday home with panoramic sea views, elegant interiors, and direct access to the boardwalk that leads to Boulders Beach. It’s perfect for families or groups looking for comfort, space, and a truly memorable coastal setting.

There’s something special about finding a place that welcomes you like an old friend; kick off your shoes, brew your morning coffee the way you like it, and settle in as if you’ve always belonged. The magic of a home away from home. These handpicked homes, added to our collection, invite you to slow down.

Scarborough and Misty Cliffs are two of Cape Town’s most serene seaside villages, nestled between mountains and ocean on the Cape Peninsula. Known for their raw, untamed beauty and peaceful atmosphere, they offer a true escape from the city. The beaches are quiet and unspoiled, perfect for swimming, surfing, or simply soaking up the sun. Surrounded by nature reserves, they’re also a haven for birdlife, wildflowers, and starry skies.

Outdoor lovers can enjoy coastal hikes with panoramic views, explore rock pools at low tide, or walk the scenic trail between the two villages. Witsands Beach is a favourite for kite surfers, and nearby shipwreck trails offer a touch of history and adventure. After a day out, grab a relaxed meal at The Hub or enjoy sundowners on a deck with views of the Atlantic. It’s all about slow living, sea air, and natural beauty.
