Kalk Bay Luxury Vacation Rentals

Kalk Bay is an unassuming bohemian fishing community nestled between mountains and water, about 25 minutes from Cape Town.

Not only can you meet the returning boats for the day’s catch at midday, but the little cobbled streets, shops, and restaurants make this an easy area to while away the time and forget about the hectic pace of city life. Antique shops, used book stores, art galleries, and a vibrant theatre have contributed to the development of a genuine sense of community in Kalk Bay.

Originally settled by shipwrecked mariners and deserters, the bustling community is named after lime-burners who used kilns to collect lime from sea shell deposits for use in building construction. The 72-seat theatre/restaurant on Main Road was erected in 1876 and is housed in the historic Kalk Bay Dutch Reformed church, a national heritage site.

The holiday homes here are perched on the mountain, providing sought-after views of the port and False Bay. Ambling around the distinctively English lanes is a delight in and of itself, since a number of well-known South African families resided in the region or had holiday houses here, and opportune repairs have revitalized the old village.

Kalk Bay is served by the Simon’s Town railroad line, and there are four tidal pools for safe swimming. Continue on to Fish Hoek from here, or take sharp right after passing through Kalk Bay from Cape Town and make your way up Boyes Drive for some fantastic vistas and whale watching.

This rental was great. The views are amazing, the house is top notch, and the food was wonderful. Our stay coincided with a Level 4 Lockdown for Covid, unfortunately. With the help of Celeste and the staff at the house, we scarcely noticed the lockdown and we were able to make the most of our stay. Everyone in our group had a fantastic time. Even though this was the last week of a three week trip across southern Africa, we could have easily spent another week at this place.

There was a last minute change in our booking as the landlord got a long term tenant. So celeste got us another better property , upgraded with no added cost. The property was great, only issue is they had checked in someone else into our apartment just before us, without checking ID, so there was some confusion but it was sorted. she is very good within your budget

Last year I called Cape Town Vacationer the first time on recommendation from a friend. Celeste sounded very busy, but now I know why. She called me back within the hour as she promised and had all the info at hand.I really get the impression that this agent is a fussy vacationer as well, she gave all the necessary detail without the blah..blah. I really don't want to know who slept in the bed before me. If I don't have to deal with it, don't tell me. I appreciated that she knew the area and the crowds that frequent it.No fuzz or complications on any booking I've made thus far. Quick and easy, just the way I like it.
