Fish Hoek locals all agree that there’s something truly magical about False Bay in summer. We all love this wild, salty, ever-changing pocket of ocean outside Cape Town on the southern tip of Africa. It’s like watching a daily drama where the actors are sharks, dolphins, whales, seals, penguins, and even the occasional visiting Orca! They all perform captivating sequels beneath a backdrop of rugged mountains and endless blue sky.

Fish Hoek locals often refer to Orcas as "killer whales", and here's why: ancient sailors dubbed them "whale killers" when they frequently observed these large ocean species hunting and killing large whales and other marine animals. The term "killer whale" reflects their reputation as powerful apex predators, even preying on great white sharks.

Join Fish Hoek locals when you stay at Seaside Cottages and spend your days whale watching and sun-bathing. We promise you the best self-catering cottages this side of Cape Town!

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.

In Cape Town, women are getting active and showing what they are made of! Seaside Cottages is part of this celebration!
