Kalkbay is a favorite weekend escape, and as this is the area where my partner spend his youth, I am blessed with the best tour guide ever :)

 |
| We usually stay at the Majestic in Kalk Bay - some nice apartments to rent |
 |
| Nice and central - you can walk everywhere from here.... |
 |
| Facilities include a spa & an on-premise, cosy restaurant behind the book shop |
 |
| Simons Town is close by and a nice outing for lunch |
 |
| Nice coffee & interior shop in Simons Town |
 |
| You are enveloped by the mountains and hugged by the sea :) |
 |
| Meditation room at the Tibetan Tea House |
 |
| No visit to Kalk Bay is complete without going to Olympia Cafe...for breakfast, and lunch and why not dinner too?! Great food, nice vibe and a local pit stop |
 |
| Very good coffee and scrumptious croissants...actually all their baked goodies are worth the calories! |
 |
| A breakfast for a carnivore :) |
 |
| Great staff - makes you feel like family! |
We love shopping in Kalk Bay with its distinct "hippy" feel. Great for antique lovers and those looking for that illusive incense you cannot find anywhere but Durban! Places worth a visit are Kalkies, the fish mekka at the harbour, Cape to Cairo if you want to have cocktails and good food and of course the Brass Bell. Drive out with the family, but come early, traffic can become hectic, especially on Sundays.
It takes weekends like these to make me appreciate just how blessed we are to live in Cape Town. So as we await the arrival of the Northern invasion over the festive season, I hope our visitors will focus on our well-earned slower pace, our beautiful food, our exquisite surrounds, our precious people...and forgive us our occasional lapses in service :)
