The Cottage: from R600 per person nightly. The Villa: R1700 per unit nightly
Cape Point Cottage comes pretty close to fitting the fantasy weekend cottage. What's more, you don't need to drive forever and a day to live the dream.
Situated just five minutes (by car) from the front gate of Cape Point Nature Reserve and 7km along from Simon's Town proper, this historic stone cottage sits among a few others of its type in a steep cleft of mountainside below the winding Simon's Town/Cape Point tar ribbon. With mountain behind you and unrivalled views across False Bay to the front you're all set for an idyllic escape.
Cape Point Cottage itself blends unobtrusively into this dramatic setting, backed by a wooden revine and mountain stream, drawing on Mother earth's natural elements - a mix of stone and timber and glass, all pulled together, by the looks of it, into a very livable space.
The cottage is fully equipped with a fireplace, gas hob, fridge, sun-powered electricity and hot water, all linen and towels, and basic supplies like tea, coffee and biscuits. Modern technology comes in the form of a Weber braai and wireless internet. Looking at the pics, the decor and furnishings are comfortable and tastefully coordinated.
The great thing about Cape Point Cottage is that it gives the illusion of being in the middle of nowhere, but with none of the associated hassle of the real thing. Simon's Town and its many attractions lie just down the road (lovely ride on a bike!), as is the CBD itself - a mere hour by car. The 40-stair climb between the driveway and cottage is an adventure in and of itself. At R400 a head the cottage comes in higher than your average country getaway, but then again, think how much you will be saving on fuel and time spent in the car.
A worthy spend in our view.
