This delightful Olde Worlde, beautifully renovated fisherman's cottage has all the modern conveniences while keeping its yesteryear feeling. Here is her story: I am an elderly lady, about 125 years old originally from a fishing family, full of character, warmth and vitality. I have an air of serenity and peace and stand elevated above the hustle and bustle of the surroundings and often feel that I have the world at my feet.
I have seen ships from all around the world come, go, and shared the excitement of the many naval exercises. I have watched lovely sleek yachts race as they stream out of the harbour and over the bay, longing for the breeze or battling the force of the winds. From September through to November, we are visited by the Southern Right whales, which have also discovered the safety and tranquility of our bay. They come to mate or give birth to their calves and stay to wallow with them until they are old enough to make their long journey back to Antarctica.
The cottage has two bedrooms, both en-suite with a live in kitchen. It is completely self-catering. Amazing uninterrupted sea view over False Bay to the Hottentots Holland Mountains. Within walking distance to one of our lovely beaches. Join the local fishermen on the rocks and enjoy some relaxing sea fishing. Explore the quaint historic naval town. Visit vibrant Kalk Bay for a different shopping or eating experience.
"A beautiful place. Very relaxing sitting on the stoep with a cold one taking in the view. Would recommend to anyone looking to taking life easy for awhile. Wifi needs improving."
"Great cottage with an exceptional view of False Bay. Rory was most helpful and friendly. Will definitely come back."
"We loved our stay at Cottons Cottages. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful. The cottages is stocked with everything you need. The view is also magnificent. <br/><br/>This is very good value for your money."
"We had a wonderful stay at Cottons Cottages. The stoep is the best feature, specially at sunrise and sunset. The cottage is clean and has all the amenities one should need during your stay. We will be back."
"My sister and I stayed at Cottons Cottages, nr 2 from 4 - 7 May 2015 and loved it. It is a return visit for us both as we remembered that we so enjoyed the first time. The old seeman's cottage retains much of its original charms whilst boasting all the mod cons required for a relaxing stay. The180-degree view of the mountains, see and Simons' Town harbour is splendid and the long covered stoep ideal for unwinding and sipping a GnT. AndSheena & Roly are great and welcoming hosts. Highly recommended."
"Roly and Sheena were so hospitable and welcoming. Cotton's cottages really felt like a home away from home. Fully equipped with everything you need, so if you've forgotten something at home there is no need to worry. From the patio and gardens you have a stunning panoramic view of the ocean - simply amazing! Would definitely recommend it."
"Our family of four loved our stay at Cottons Cottage. The view was fantastic and the cottage was spacious and perfectly equipped. Our host was very friendly and helpful. The cottage is within walking distance of the beach and town. You could not wish for better and more convenient holiday accommodation."
"We loved the house. Nice and spacious. We also enjoyed the outside area that amongst others had a great swing for our 16 month old daughter."
