October In Cape Town – Focus on Fish Hoek

In Fish Hoek, we celebrate International Coffee Day on 1 October with many choices for a great cup of coffee – on the beach, in the small malls and along the streets of this characterful town. Choose your cup and wander along the many roads to see how locals live.  Fish Hoek has a variety of fantastic restaurants to whet your appetite - from traditional fish and chips to seafood platters and succulent steaks, you simply can't go wrong! 

Eat out in Fish Hoek this October

Did you know that “the international observance of International Coffee Day is a tribute to what has become one of humanity's most loved beverages-cup-after-cup, and one that gives us much more than just a caffeine boost? This year's campaign is "Coffee, Your Daily Ritual, Our Shared Journey", which honours collaboration within the sector, promoting sustainable practices while supporting livelihoods among coffee farmers worldwide."

In October, world citizens also celebrate World Animal Day (4th), World Teachers’ Day (5th) and World Habitat Day (7th). At Seaside Cottages we revere all of these things, from delightful heartwarming coffees to animals, teachers and the special environment in which we all live! Spend a weekend with us in one of our cosy self-catering units to appreciate your loved ones, nature and relaxation!

"World Habitat Day 2024 is a global observance aimed at raising awareness about the importance of sustainable urban development, adequate housing, and access to basic amenities. This annual event provides an opportunity to reflect on the state of our cities and towns and to advocate for positive changes that promote better living conditions for all. World Habitat Day calls for action to address housing challenges, urban inequality, and environmental sustainability." 

On a lighter note, WOMAD is here in Cape Town this October – the renowned World of Music, Arts and Dance festival will last for one week only, 1-7 October! Celebrate South Africa’s creative talent blended with international artists who take to the stage in a cacophony of melodies, lights and joy!

And then it is time to wander the beautiful gardens in Noordhoek, home to diverse animals and birds, habitats and loved gardens. It's Open Gardens 2024 already, time to appreciate huge old oak trees, plain trees and yellowwood trees that provide shade and shelter for people, squirrels, birds and other critters. Value the love that creates havens of solitude and magnificence! 

Whatever blows your hair back, Cape Town is the place to be this month. See the Mother City's Big Six, take a tour of the Peninsula and book your bed at Seaside Cottages - you won't regret it! 

Seaside Cottages is waiting for your call this October.
