Nick's Seaside Rest

Nick's Seaside Rest offers self catering accommodation as well as genuine South African hospitality in Bloubergstrand village, in Cape Town, just a stone's throw away from one of the most beautiful beaches on the South African coast line. Ideal for the discerning traveler, with many of our guests returning several times.

Only 20 kilometres outside of Cape Town's main business district, Bloubergstrand is situated in the ideal place close to the main wine routes and the coast.

Nick's Seaside Rest is situated within 60 metres of the sea shore, a short walk to the surrounding restaurants and a few steps further to 'Big Bay', the world famous surfers and wind surfers paradise.

The property is located in an upmarket and quiet residential area. Although there's an obscured view of the ocean from the lounge of this semi-detached house, you will enjoy walking along the beach, taking in breathtaking sunsets, jogging along the landscaped beach front, or just lazing in the sun. During September/ October whales can be seen in the Bay. Spectacular wild spring flowers can be seen in the area during August and September.
