Description

Wanting to share the pleasures of living in a cob home, we have created an Organic B&B, ideal for wholesome holiday accommodation in the beautiful city of Cape Town.

The guest accommodation, with its own private entrance, consists of a spacious triple bedroom with ensuite shower and ablution facilities. The main bed is a luxury queen-size bed, and there is also a single futon bed suitable for an additional adult, which can be opened up into two futons if a family of four wishes to take the room. Linen, curtains, mattresses, towels etc. have all been made from natural and organic or recycled materials. The room features views of the Cape mountains. There is access to the garden (still in early growth, after a few years as mostly piles of sand and clay!) and off-street parking available.

The house is situated 200 metres from Muizenberg beachfront, justly famous as a perfect beach to learn to surf as well as a family swimming beach – the most accessible beach on Cape Town’s warmer side, where the Atlantic waters are mellowed a little by the reach of the Indian Ocean.

There are many other family facilities behind the beachfront (including waterslides and ‘putt putt’ – crazy golf). Muizenberg itself has many shops, including organic grocery shops, restaurants, surf schools, and performance venues: it is one of the most diverse and interesting communities in the Cape.

The cob house is also 200m from Zandvlei, our lake and park area (home to the Cape Town International Kite Festival in the spring, as well as water sports and plenty of birdlife), and 5 minutes walk from the False Bay train station, which has regular connections to central Cape Town and south to other resort towns along the Cape Peninsula.

The Muizenberg section of the Table Mountain range has spectacular hiking and caving opportunities and can be reached within 10 minutes walk; half an hour walk (or 4 minutes on the train) gets you to Kalk Bay’s popular attractions, via St. James, which features a wonderful and safe tidal pool for swimmers of all ages.
