Camps Bay Accommodation

2011 December 20

When choosing accommodation in Camps Bay there are generally two factors which someone will look at: proximity to the beach and quality of the views. If you want accommodation in Camps Bay which is both close to the beach and has beautiful views you must be prepared to pay a premium. If you are willing to compromise on one of these factors you will find accommodation that is much more reasonable.

My advice: during the hot summer months go for accommodation close to the beach. That is where you will be spending all your time and you don’t need grand views of the beach if you are going to be on it all day. For the rest of the year aim for accommodation with great views then you can enjoy the sea without sitting out in the cold.

Each one of Villa Blu’s guest suites have a private patio area, some looking out onto the pool or garden, others with sweeping views of the sea, each with every creature comfort you could wish for, including your own bag with beach towels.

From the Whale Viewing Deck, just a flight of stairs towards heaven, you’ll take in 360-degree panoramas of the ocean, the lagoon, the mountain and the beach down below. This is one of the prime land-based whale watching spots in the world, and it’s yours to behold.

Beauty fills this Hermanus Guest House. You’ll sense it in the tempera wall finishes, the works of art, the little thoughts like the sparkling spring water that awaits you in your room, and the care that has gone into every aspect of making you feel wonderfully at home away from home.

Shark Cage Diving

2011 November 2
Posted by ChuckRoast

Sharks are the most commonly feared ocean creatures and are the reason behind many beautiful beaches being closed with thousands of swimmers refusing to leave the safety of the shoreline. Perhaps the most fearsome extreme sport, Shark Cage Diving takes you into the territory of the world’s scariest predator, giving you the adrenaline rush of a lifetime.

Shark Cage Diving is one of the Cape’s most popular extreme tourist activities. Shark Cage diving in Cape Town allows you to come up close and personal with these formidable creatures, whilst safely being out of the reach of their infamous jaws.

There are many reasons why sharks are feared. Their teeth and what some think evil looking eyes are perhaps at the forefront of our minds. Images from famous films of fins slicing through the water and scary music accompanying sharks have most of us cowering at the thought of them. Endless photography and video recordings of sharks moving quickly and brutally catching their prey work in our imaginations, and stories reported and passed around have told us that these creatures won’t stop at anything if they are hungry. The fear and panic sharks create in us makes the latest and possibly the most terrifying extreme activity Shark Cage Diving so compelling.
