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.

Cottage 17 is the new kid on the block at Seaside Cottages. It’s a fabulous original, one-bedroom cottage made for the perfect couple’s beach getaway. We love it because it features tasteful interiors designed for elegance and comfort. In fact, Cottage 17 is so stylish, one would expect to see it on the pages of Home Magazine.

There’s something quietly magical about April in Fish Hoek. It doesn’t arrive with a bang or a blazing statement. Instead, it slips in gently, like the whiff of fresh wors braaiing on an early evening fire when the wind picks up along the shore. Seaside Cottages is waiting for your call.

So… what does April mean to you?
For some, April is that in-between month - the one that doesn’t quite know if it’s still summer or already winter. But here in the deep south, between the curve of False Bay and the watchful mountains, April feels like a long exhale. Check in at Seaside Cottages for a quiet break, no rush, no crowds, no intensity.

Every year, as summer slowly softens into autumn and the golden light of March settles across South Africa, the country pauses. March is Human Rights Month in our country, a time when the nation reflects on the long and difficult road to freedom, dignity, and equality. Most people take a day off on Human Rights Day, 21 March, a public holiday commemorating how far we have all travelled as a nation.

Here at Seaside Cottages in Fish Hoek, we make time to remember, to tell the stories and to be gracious. Let's go back nearly seven decades ago ...
