Seaside Cottages - Fish Hoek Beach

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.

They say the sun shines brighter along the generous curve of False Bay. It really does. Especially during the March holidays. Come on down to Cape Town’s best-kept secret in March. School's out and it's time to visit False Bay. Explore a dreamy stretch of coastline that hugs the Cape Peninsula from Muizenberg, via Fish Hoek, to Cape Point. Picture sparkling bays, mountain backdrops, salty air, and seaside villages bursting with charm.

Every stop is different. Every moment is magical. Pack your flip-flops. Grab your sunglasses. Adventure awaits. From Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek to Simonstown and Cape Point, the Deep South’s False Bay also offers some of the best self-catering accommodation in Cape Town. Book your March holiday at Seaside Cottages and appreciate quality lodgings right on the beach.

December holidays in Fish Hoek are pure magic. Wake up steps from the sand, dive into ocean adventures and let the days unfold naturally. Grab a soft serve at The Galley, try paddle skiing, book surfing lessons in nearby Muizenberg, wander the cobbled streets of Kalk Bay or watch naval ships glide through Simon’s Town harbour.

Fish Hoek is also a haven for nature lovers. The area supports a rich mix of birdlife – ocean birds, shorebirds, wetland species, mountain birds and birds of prey. Fynbos birds mingle with garden visitors, while wetlands and rivers host their own chorus of calls.

Cape Town’s extraordinary biodiversity means you may spot baboons, tortoises, chameleons, snakes, small mammals and an ever-changing cast of birdlife, all woven into the landscape. At Seaside Cottages, lush succulent and fynbos gardens attract Cape sugarbirds, sunbirds, plovers, dikkops, geese, hadedas and sacred ibis. Relax under the thatched pagoda, wander the lawns, or stroll along Fish Hoek Beach keeping an eye out for breaching whales, drifting jellyfish and soaring seabirds.

Someone has thrown open the door to summer and invited the whole family outside – it’s November in Cape Town’s Deep South! Remember to book your November break now. Imagine waking up early at Seaside Cottages for long, warm, beautiful days? A morning walk on Fish Hoek Beach is food for the soul as the skies turn bright, cloudless blue. Picture yourself revelling in balmy, slow evenings, drink in hand. Our quality self-catering cottages are perfect for family or couple breaks this November. Make time for beach picnics, ice-cream strolls, and late-night garden braais with the kids.

The real bonus at Seaside Cottages in November? Glorious summer weather before the busiest holiday crowds arrive; space on the beaches, shorter queues at your favourite attractions, and the chance to pick up some sweet accommodation deals before peak season kicks in. We’ve got you covered!
