++/ ACCOMMODATION_

 
 

Cape Town, one of the world's Top 5 vacation destinations, has always captivated those who have seen her beauty or been enchanted by the spectacular mountains, beaches and wild landscapes of this unique Africa destination.

Sir Francis Drake called it "The most stately thing and the fairest Cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth". Today, Cape Town is a bustling, friendly, city, with a myriad of attractions for the visitor.

But Cape Town also holds a wonderful secret...in a place which has changed little over the past 425 years since Drake first set eyes on what later became known as South Africa's "Mother City". In this magnificent environment, the holiday traveler can enjoy Cape Town at its best - from a peaceful, unhurried base, relaxing in glorious accommodation with the beach on your doorstep and sunsets over an ocean where whales and dolphins play - all within easy reach of the city center.

Here, on the fringes of Cape Town, lies the village of Scarborough, nestling at the foot of Schusters Mountain on the border of Cape Point Nature Reserve and looking northwest across the Atlantic Ocean. Once referred to as Cape Town's best kept secret, it is now a Mecca for the sports enthusiast and nature lover.

Situated within an exciting playground, those who want to escape from the stresses of the City can experience the wilder side of life where nature comes to your door.

This site offers the reader an in-depth introduction to Peninsula Life and the better, unhurried parts of Cape Town. If you are looking to surf, beach comb, play golf or just relax, everything has been taken into consideration. Please take your time to look through and find out more about this special environment.
