The V&A Waterfront in Cape Town offers visitors a variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment options, where a day is easily spent exploring the 250 shops, historical buildings, Two Oceans Aquarium, Maritime Museum and craft stalls – making the trip from the tranquillity of Simonstown Guest House worth the drive.
Numerous Restaurants allow guests to indulge in foods from around the world while harbour cruises and sailing along the coast are very popular on summer evenings. Concerts in the open amphitheatre lend to the vibrant energy of the Waterfront complex which is open until 9pm every evening, 7 days a week.
The Nelson Mandela Gateway is where the ferry to Robben Island leaves from – the focal point of South African political struggle and where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years. Be sure to look out for the Cape Fur seals which call the harbour their home, sunning themselves on available dock space and playing in the wake of boats entering and leaving the harbour mouth.
The V & A Waterfront in Cape Town has something suitable for the whole family and visitors to Simonstown Guest House are always welcomed back with arms full of shopping bags and stories of exciting experiences.
