Why they chose this property
Bayside Cottage is nestled in the heart of Glencairn, a serene coastal neighborhood just outside of Cape Town. Surrounded by mountains and sea, it’s the kind of place where you can truly slow down and breathe. Whether it’s morning walks along Glencairn Beach, spotting whales from the shoreline, or enjoying a glass of wine as the sun sets over False Bay, every moment here feels special.
What I love most about this area is the peaceful, close-knit community and the natural beauty that’s all around. It’s the perfect escape—quiet, scenic, and still just a short drive from charming shops, restaurants, and attractions in Simon’s Town or Kalk Bay.

That’s the heart of Bayside Cottage—and it’s what we hope you’ll take with you long after your stay.
