Kalk Bay Village
Kalk Bay is a small, slightly boho village where people come to relax. Part-sleepy fishing village and part-buzzy high street, Kalk Bay’s eclectic mix of historic buildings, cobbled streets, bohemian bric-a-brac shops, vintage bookstores, art and antique galleries, quaint cafés and restaurants, colourful fishing vessels and creative locals are what makes it so charming.
A good morning would likely include a swim in the sea, followed by a scrumptious breakfast, and then a walk on the mountain where the views are breathtaking, ending with a drink in a pub where waves crash on rocks just beyond the window. Come evening, after a gentle snooze and a spot of shopping, eating really well in any one of a dozen different restaurants, all within walking distance, means you've had a healthy, stress-free day!
Kalk Bay is also a great base to return to after a day's outing to easily accessible local treats - Cape Point, Table Mountain, Constantia wine farms, zip-lining, any of 3 local golf courses, surfing or swimming with the penguins in Simonstown.
And then there are the charming, nearby villages, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch or Hermanus, each with its own claim to fame, that will lure you into the spectacular mountains and sophisticated wine farms, or further up the coast where the whales congregate in the winter.
A holiday in Whalehaven and Kalk Bay is refreshing in the deepest sense. It revives your heart, mind and spirit. But isn't that the whole point of a holiday?

The apartment is on the second floor of an Edwardian building. There are two flights of steps to get to the front door.
Parking is on the street but it is free. At its worst, on a hot, sunny weekend in mid-summer, parking is available within a 5 minute walk. Generally, the walk is closer to 2 minutes!
Regarding security, Kalk Bay is a Special Rates Area which means that we have extra cops on the beat. The village also has security cameras that are monitored 24/7. Security is therefore good but inevitably, not flawless.

Summary: Apartment was spacious and comfortable. Even though it was on the main road, the noise didn’t bother us all that much. Louise, who manages the apartment along with her husband was gracious and met us when we arrived, even though we were a bit late. She gave some great recommendations for restaurants in the area. Room and bed was comfortable with a wood-burning stove to heat the apartment. One possible discrepancy we noted is that the listing says that the apartment has a dryer, but we were unable to find it. However, there was a drying rack and washing machine. Overall, a very nice place to stay for a few nights Nice view out over the ocean.

Summary: What a pleasure to stay in this beautiful Flat in Kalk Bay, Cape Town South Africa! The flat overlook the harbor with large windows in the lounge that let in the natural light and all of the beauty of the area. Even thought the first day we experienced rain, we were exhausted from traveling in the bush and Whalehaven was a welcome respite! WE enjoyed the comfortable sofas and the view. Beautifully furnished with a full kitchen and brand new appliances. Washer, dishwasher, espresso machine, Whalehaven has it all! The location is conveniently located within walking distance to all local restaurants. The flat has 2 bedrooms on with a queen sized bed and another with 2 twin beds. The beds are comfortable with lovely white fluffy duvets. There is a large freestanding bathtub and shower in the bathroom and the water closet is separated from the shower/tub area. There are several stairs to access the flat so bear that in mind if you have issues with stairs. The flat is secure with a gate a street level and another locked door before accessing the porch. We felt safe at all times. The owners live very close to the flat and met us upon check in. We were able to communicate with they via WhatsApp and text message prior to check in. Our flight was delayed so the ease of communication was helpful in our case. The flat was spotless and is even more beautiful than it appears in photos. I recommend this space without any hesitation! The owners are both lovely and friendly and they have included a list of activities in the area for you as well.

Summary: Louise and Guy ensured that our stay was perfect. The apartment was clean extremely comfortable and well apointed. The location in the heart of the village offered easy accessibilty to a variety of great coffee shops and restaurants. Great food, good wine but best of all spectacular views of the bay and harbour. My seat in the window afforded a great opportunity for people watching and taking photographs of the life of the harbour. The first of a two week stay in the area it could not have been a more perfect start. Thank you so much.
