False Bay Fish Hoek is the playground for diverse game fish, good-to-eat fish and bait fish. Come and enjoy some fishing fun in False Bay this year. Did you know, some of the best fishermen in the world still wonder where to fish in Cape Town? A beach holiday in Fish Hoek is not the same without throwing a line in some of the best False Bay fishing spots from Gordon’s Bay to Cape Point!

Seaside Cottages welcomes you to the legendary and fantastical False Bay outside Cape Town. This is one of South Africa’s best fishing grounds. But wait a minute, there’s nothing false about this fishing holiday! What an adventure and challenge to seek rich marine life hidden beneath such magnetic blue-green waters. False Bay carries centuries of fishing history in every wave, complex ocean dynamics in every tide, and an evolving eco-tourism scene every week of the year.

The 2026 July holidays are packed with activities from Cape Town to Fish Hoek and back again. Who would have thought that winter in Fish Hoek could be so much fun? This small town is one of the Cape Peninsula's hottest beach destinations – even in winter. The cooler months bring a special magic to this charming Cape Town destination. Stay at Seaside Cottages to experience a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and discovery.

Mother’s Day is a warm celebration of all the women who nurture, guide, and shape our lives.

At Seaside Cottages, we know that mothers matter. So we join in this honouring of all mothers and their powerful bonds of love, care, and support in our families and communities.

We join everyone around the world to mark this special day on the second Sunday of May – 10 May 2026. Mother's Day may not be a public holiday, but it still carries a deep emotional significance. It’s a day when many people slow down, show appreciation, and make mothers feel truly special.

We invite you to celebrate at Seaside Cottages!

Cottage 70 at Seaside Cottages is something quietly magical. Just seconds from the soft white sands of Fish Hoek Beach, it’s perfectly placed for early morning swims, lazy afternoon strolls, and sunset conversations around the braai.

Cottage 70 is super elegant, our front row special, the Queen of our large 2-bedroom cottages. At last, find a place in Cape Town where you can wake up beside the ocean to the soft glow of sunrise, the rhythmic hush of waves, and a sense of time standing still.

Breaking news – read all about it! We are back to celebrating our fabulous beachfront cottages every month. Welcome to Cottage of the Month.
