Activities
Clovelly Lodge has salt-water pools for the enjoyment of guests and is just a 5 or 10 minute walk from the Clovelly/Fish Hoek beach (one of the Peninsula's safest, most popular bathing beaches).
The Lodge backs onto nature reserve with excellent hikes as well as pot-holing, climbing and caving. Because we are in the centre of the Table Mountain National Park we're surrounded by endless trails and scenic drives.
Tennis, horse-riding, hiking, surfing, whale-watching and boat trips, fishing, diving and outstanding scenic drives are nearby. From Simon's Town you can go whale watching and shark-diving and if you want to go to Hermanus or Gansbaai to do that many tour operators will pick up from this area.
The Clovelly Country Club's championship 18-hole golf-course is just next door - Simon's Town, Westlake and Steenberg golf-courses are just 10 minutes drive.
Cape Point is a 20-30 minute drive and the city centre is a similar distance. So you are never far away from the Waterfront shopping and entertainment district, the Table Mountain cableway, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Robben Island and the other museums and galleries of the CBD.
Cape Town also has a number of outstanding theatre venues including Artscape in the centre, the Baxter in Rondebosch, the Masque Theatre in Muizenberg and the Kalk Bay Kitchen (for evenings with dinner and show) round the corner.
Its also a very short drive to the start of the Wine Routes through Constantia, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Other great day-trips include the West Coast (a top spot is the national park near Langebaan, especially in spring flower-season but any time of year is worthwhile), the semi-desert region round Worcester/Robertson famous for its early cave paintings and its succulent flora, the scenic Walker Bay area including Betty's Bay, Kleinmond and Hermanus, and the historic village of Genadendal followed with lunch in sleepy Greyton with its dramatic mountain backdrop.
