About the Hotel
Fisherman's Watch Cottage is a one-bedroom holiday home with a private bathroom, living room, and patio. It includes a washing machine, kitchen, and barbecue facilities. The bedroom has a very comfortable bed, and guests enjoy sea and mountain views. Note that entering the property requires climbing 45 steps, which ensures privacy and a scenic outlook.
Kitchen
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking meals. Barbecue facilities are available on the terrace. Grocery deliveries can be arranged, making it easy to stock up without leaving the property. There is no onsite restaurant; guests cook for themselves or dine at nearby Fish Hoek eateries.
Garden and Beach
The cottage has a terraced garden full of Cape birds and a terrace with sea views. Fish Hoek Beach is less than 1 km away, ideal for swimming or walks. Free WiFi is provided throughout the property. The area is quiet, and you can hear the sea at night. A golf course is also located nearby.
Location
The cottage sits on a hillside overlooking Fish Hoek Bay. It's 13 km from Chapman's Peak, 25 km from Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and 31 km from Cape Town International Airport. A car is recommended for getting around; Simon's Town penguin colony and the mall are a short drive away.
Services
Free on-site private parking is included. The property is non-smoking throughout, with smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. Hosts George, Barbara, and Andrew are friendly and provide local recommendations. An invoice is provided upon request. Guests are encouraged to recycle during their stay.
“Fisherman's Watch Cottage presents an exceptional vantage point overlooking the bay, a truly private retreat that feels deeply connected to its natural surroundings. The thoughtful amenities and the ease of self-catering contribute to its considerable value as a base for exploring the Cape Peninsula. It strikes a fine balance between tranquil seclusion and convenient access to nearby attractions, making for a genuinely well-rounded stay.”
