We had such a wonderful stay in Glencairn! Breathtaking views, a very private space with all the modern amenities one could need, and grocery store just at the bottom of the hill. Staying in Glencairn was such a peaceful way to explore Cape Town for a week, the house is just 10 minutes from Boulder Beach to see the penguins, 15 minutes from Muizenberg Beach for fantastic surfing, 15 minutes to Table Mountain National Park to visit the end of Cape Point (and see fluffy baboons!), 20 minutes from Constantia for winery visits & just over a half hour drive to pop in and out of downtown if you so please. We had such an easy & beautiful time exploring, we have fallen madly in love with Cape Town thanks to our stay.
We highly recommend Salt in Kalk Bay for a meal, Jonkersuis in Constantia for lunch and beautiful winery views, Learn2Surf at Muizenberg for surf lessons & The Salty Sea Dog for fish & chips.
