CatherineReichardt Says: (work in progress)One of the delights of visiting the Cape Town area is the high probability (which, if you visit the V&A Waterfront, rises to a virtual certainty) of seeing seals.Cape fur seals are common all the way around the peninsula coastline and up the West Coast - in...
A genuine fishing harbour on False Bay
CatherineReichardt Says: (work in progress)Kalk Bay (Kalkbaai in Afrikaans) is the only genuine fishing harbour left along the False Bay coastline of the peninsula, and is a rewarding place to amble around and enjoy its unpretentious ambience.The harbour itself is the hub of activity and is a...
mke1963 Says: Kalk Bay, like most places along the False Bay coast (possibly except Muizenberg) has a a grandstand view of the whales that come to calve in the shallow, relatively sheltered waters. Between July and November, the huge, gentle Southern Right Whales come to within a few...
The Inn on Castle Hill: The Inn on Castle Hill
mke1963 Says: This wonderful guest-house above Kalk Bay, was home to me for the best part of a month. Judy Anderson has created a beautiful 6-bedroom place from one of Kalk Bay?s historic buildings. All but one room have an en-suite shower room and toilet, and even that one room has a...
habaneros kalk bay: new image, new owners
sal23 Says: After reading the review posted in 2006, I decided to see this place for myself. Apparentlythere are new owners and definitely a new vibe. Bright, light, and funky with Frida Kahlo everywhere. Had friendly service and awesome Margaritas. Lively music and relaxed customers...
mke1963 Says: Cafe Matisse is yet another funky restaurant on the short stretch of packed tourist stretch of Kalk Bay High Street. Although small ? and really a bit gloomy ? they serve excellent pizza and a variety of smaller snacks and afternoon bites.Cafe Matisse suffers, like several...
mke1963 Says: Habenro’s has the misfortune to be right next to one of the most popular cafés in the Cape Town area, the Café Olympia, yet makes little attempt to compete for the obvious custom in this dynamic little town. Despite some endearing wall frescos and mosaic features (check out...
Kalk Bay Expresso: Kalk Bay Expresso
mke1963 Says: Kalk Bay ExpressoSqueezed into a tight alleyway and an old railway carriage (between Café Sirocco and an antiques shop) by Kalk Bay station is the Klak Bay Expresso, a friendly pancake-cum-coffeeshop-cum-restaurant. When the south-easters are blowing (often in summer!), the...
mke1963 Says: Unmissable bright blue parasols, a bright blue floor and white tubs of plants and flowers make this attractive open-air coffee house worth a stop, even more so to taste probably the best coffee found in Cape Town. The service is quick but relaxed and friendly. Like many of...

mke1963 Says: Kalk Bay is a great place for antiques: a kilometre of antique and junk shops guaranteed to keep the most hardened shopaholic occupied for days on end. Most antique shops also have a good selection of second-hand books (especially Quagga, next to Cafe Matisse).The shop on...
Kalk Bay Trading Post: Kalk Bay Trading Post
mke1963 Says: Kalk Bay is really not short of antique dealers, but this junk shop is probably the best of the lot. It has just about everything, and much of it from my childhood bedroom by the looks of it: Matchbox cars, matchboxes, old advertising hoardings, books, magazines, old...
Kalk Bay - or Kalkbaai as it is sometimes known - has a fairly short but rich history. It is an attractive fishing village that has become an antiques village and home to a number of artists, and...
