holiday accommodation

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.

Summer holidays in Fish Hoek mean ocean sports and beach fun. At Seaside Cottages, the warmer mornings and teasing southeasterly breezes pre-empt a summer packed with energy and so much to do.
