💎 Hidden gems

• Cape Point Ostrich Farm: Just off the road before the Cape Point gate. The world’s largest bird up close. About 30–45 min.
• Just Nuisance statue, Simon’s Town: On Jubilee Square: the Great Dane who was officially enlisted in the Royal Navy. A 5-minute stop.
• Organic Point, Noordhoek: A laid-back organic coffee shop full of curios, behind the colourful “Smarties wall”, sharing the spot with Noordhoek Art Point gallery. Right on the way from Chapman’s Peak to Cape Point.

Pick one or two; we fit them in around your day.

🍽 Our favourites for lunch

• ★ Our favourite for lunch: Black Marlin, Millers Point: A much-loved seafood restaurant right on the water just outside Simon’s Town, with big views over False Bay, on the road between Cape Point and the penguins.
• Lunch at Cape Point: Two Oceans Restaurant: Seafood with a view over False Bay, right at Cape Point.
• Later lunch: Harbour House, Kalk Bay: Seafood on the harbour wall, if you stop in Kalk Bay.

Kirstenbosch Garden is an easy add-on on the way home if you’d like a garden stroll instead of a beach stop.
