We loved our stay in Kalk Bay at this adorable cottage. As two American women, we felt safe, relaxed, and right at home. The location is very walkable to all of the restaurants and stores. The sounds of the school are no big deal. We would absolutely stay again and again at this special little spot. Quick tip for foreigners: planned power outages aka load shedding happens from time to time. You can look it up online when the power will be out at the cottage and plan your day around it! If you're debating on booking this cottage, dont hesitate.
