Who says winter is the wrong time to visit Cape Town? Who says summer is the only time for fun in False Bay?

While summer steals the spotlight, winter quietly transforms the Deep South into something magical. The mountains turn emerald green, waterfalls come alive, whales arrive from Antarctica, cosy cafés beckon, and outdoor adventures become even more exhilarating without the summer crowds.

Better still? Winter is the perfect time to explore responsibly and discover why Cape Town has become one of the world's leading sustainable tourism destinations.

Get on board that responsible tourism bandwagon and join us in Fish Hoek at Seaside Cottages for an unforgettable winter break.

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.
