The property is in walking distance of the beach and restaurants. There is paid food delivery services available. There is a Links golf course in the village. There is Table Mountain, spear fishing, fishing, kite surfing, surfing, hiking viewing, wine tasting, game viewing and other attractions in close proximity. The Red Bull Kite Surfing Championship is held on a yearly basis at Table View beach which is 9km away. Fine dining restaurants listed within the world's best 100 are scattered around the wine estates and other beautiful suburbs of Cape Town. Kite surfers/surfers can leave their equipment until next stay. Secure lockup for equipment.
I grew up in Melkbosstrand and have lived here since 1976. The village provides that feeling of being at ease with its tranquility and lovely beaches. The beaches are incredible and the spear fishing, diving and surfing, wind surfing has been the order of the day since I arrived. The restaurants are top class with a variety of dishes. There are large shopping malls and private hospitals in close proximity. The Mi City bus service serves Melkbos and can be used to travel to the Waterfront and Cape Town. I am at your service should there be any need for assistance and have competent people to cater to your needs.
Melkbosstrand is a coastal village located on the shores of the West Coast town of Melkbos. It has a 7km stretch of beach that is perfect for long, lazy walks and safe swimming. The views of Robben Island and Table Mountain are phenomenal. Melkbosstrand is a picturesque and serene coastal town with a peaceful feel to it. Also a place of historical importance, Melkbosstrand is where the invading British troops landed in 1806 and, soon after, in the Battle of Blaauwberg they took the Cape from the Batavian Republic. Find at Melkbosstrand one of South Africa’s premier golf courses, The Atlantic Beach Golf Course, which features 18 holes covering a distance of 6229 meters which puts it on a par with courses in Scotland. The Clubhouse boasts panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Table Mountain and its golf fairways. Find The Lodge at Atlantic Beach a short walking distance from the Clubhouse, where most rooms overlook the 10th fairway. Melkbosstrand is a Blue Flag Beach and is located on the West Coast Way Culture Route. Blue Flag is a world-renowned eco-certification for beaches and marinas. When you see a Blue Flag flying, you know a beach or marina is clean and accessible; has great water quality; meets high safety standards; and is working hard to protect local shorelines and ecosystems. The long Main Beach is backed by green lawns that are perfect for sand-free picnics, and there are several cafés and restaurants dotted along Beach Road. A popular water sports beach, conditions are superb for wind and kite surfing and surf skiers, and the calm waters also make Melkbosstrand ideal for sea kayakers to enjoy long paddles along the coast. However, there is enough of a wave to also keep the surfers happy at two spots known as Beach Road and Captains. For boating enthusiasts, there is a safe slipway on the northern edge of Melkbos Point for leisure craft. It is also home to the National Sea Rescue Institute’s Station 18.
