Simon's Town Guest House Blog - Page 2

The Cape Peninsula is a dynamic place, filled with hidden gems which should be explored and enjoyed by all types of travellers.

What’s not to love about this charming, historic naval town?

Simons Town is located approximately 30km south of Cape Town city centre and a mere 50 km drive from CPT International Airport in the Western Cape of South Africa.

Undoubtedly the best way to explore the richness of Cape Town is by hiring a vehicle thus independently exploring the route to Simons Town.

It was such a perfect Winter’s Day yesterday that my husband and I decided to have breakfast at the Two Oceans Restaurant at Cape Point, part of the Table Mountain National Park. This has to be one of the most spectacular locations in the Cape, if not the World, as it sits high on the cliff with uninterrupted views of False Bay.

We have been so fortunate this year to have had the most wonderful guests at Simon’s Town Guest House and Christmas Day was no exception.

This Sunday the 31st of October, 2010 will be the annual Noordhoek Country Fair. We went last year for the first time and were pleasantly surprised with the organisation and efforts that had gone into making it such a fun event. There were tonnes of stalls presenting local artists talents, live music, animal rides, food stalls and lots more. We spent almost half a day there as the weather was superb and there was just so much to see and do.
