False Bay Fish Hoek is the playground for diverse game fish, good-to-eat fish and bait fish. And yet, 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.

August is Women's Month in South Africa. This year, the theme for National Women’s Day is "Accelerate Action". It is indeed time to speed up progress towards gender equality. It is time to increase investment in women's development and address issues like the gender pay gap, lack of representation, and gender-based violence.

Women’s Day is a celebration for all women living in South Africa’s present who have dreams for the future. It's a reminder of how far we’ve all come — and how much further we can all still go. Every year, this unique feminine holiday is packed with festivities, activism, reflection, and community events. This year is no different.
