variety of establishments:
restaurants, bars, health and beauty, a deli, a laundry, a florist and even

Breakfast at De Waterkant Place Guest
House is served to your room. You might choose to enjoy it there, or in
the dining room upstairs. Better still, why not take breakfast on the terrace
where you can watch Cape Town come to life while you contemplate the day
to come over your morning tea or freshly brewed coffee.
Businessmen and early risers will be pleased to know that
at De Waterkant Place Guest House breakfast is delivered between 7 and
7:30 depending on the season. Vegetarians will be accommodated with pleasure
so please advise us of your preference prior to your arrival at the guesthouse.
Walking a little further a field will take you to the world famous V&A
Waterfront. Here you will find fun for the whole family from the Oceanaruim
and Craft Market, to boat rides to Robben Island. Other cultural
sites of interest within walking distance are the Bo Kaap, Gold, District Six
and Jewish museums. You can take a stroll through the city's leafy gardens
and visit the National Gallery or Museum, play Frisbee with
some enthusiastic locals or watch the squirrels in the old Oak trees. Close
by is the renowned Green Market Square for craft and souvenirs,
and more browsing is to be done down Long Street a hub of energy, a hot night
spot, and the travellers Mecca.
Cape Town offers an array of Shopping Malls both in and around
the city. One of the largest malls is Century City with its attending African
Fun & Water Theme Park Ratanga Junction.
For fabulous Theatre you will not have to venture far. Within
the city are On Broadway, The Royal Theatre and Artscape Theatres. Further
outside the City is the Baxter, Theatre on the Bay and some outdoor venues
at delightful Stellenbosch Wine Estates (see Spier and Oude Libertas). For
summer evening concerts outdoor, a visit to our nearby National Botanical
Gardens Amphitheatre is a picnic-lovers must; though please note that
these shows only take place on Sundays.
Another must for Cape Town will surely be your visit to our most famous landmark, Table
Mountain. We can set you up with a guide if you would like to hike
up, or of you can take the cableway and enjoy a less strenuous stroll on the
top. For the adrenaline junkies there is also the chance to abseil part of
the way down. The Table Mountain chain is a national park and extends all the
way down the peninsular to the Cape Point Nature Reserve.
You could get there via the magnificent Chapman's Peak Drive and stop off at
the Boulders Beach penguin colony and the Naval base in Simon's
Town en route. At Cape Point, you will see untouched beaches, and some of Africa's
wildlife, including zebra, antelope, baboons and the closest relative to the
Elephant, the tiny dassie! Cape Point also boasts the world's most diverse
floral kingdom, called Fynbos. The peninsular tour can be arranged as a social
adventure with meals and a mountain bike ride inside the nature reserve. We
are more than happy to put you in contact with the right people for other day trips such
as wine routes, bird watching excursions
and even a variety of Big Five day trips.
If what you are after is sand and sea, our peninsular has many white, sandy beaches on
offer. Our Mediterranean climate encourages long sun-drenched evenings beside
the crystal blue sea. Nearest are the trendy Camps Bay and the secluded but
popular Clifton 1st to 4th beaches. Slightly more exclusive is Llandudno and
then for the nudists and privacy seekers, Sandy Bay. Across the peninsular
is False Bay where you can bathe in the warmer Indian Ocean at the family beaches
of Fish Hoek or St James. Sign up for surf school at Muizenberg, or head back
to the Atlantic ocean to Table Views' Blouberg Strand for more extreme water
sports such as kite surfing.
Cape Town also offers many Golf courses. The course at Woodbridge
island affords spectacular views of Table Mountain. There is also a fairway
within 5 minutes of De Waterkant Place Guest House. As with all that Cape Town
has to offer, choice and warm smiles are plentiful.
Tourist information on places to visit in and around Cape
Town is readily available at the Guest House. Stop in at our information
centre for maps and details of other hotels, as well as for advice on
where to go and on how to travel in and around the city. With prior arrangement,
we will happily assist you in booking a rental car or airport
pick up before you arrive. We accept payments by local bank transfer;
cash in South African Rand, or Visa and MasterCard Credit cards.
We hope to host you in our favourite City and will do our best make you stay
with us comfortable, enjoyable and memorable.
