South Peninsula

The South Peninsula has a certain historical significance in that it is the first coastline known to be discovered by the early explorers to the African continent. Cape Point has been renowned for centuries as hazardous to ships and the “Cape of Storms” has claimed more than its fair share of victims over the years. In fact, there is a haunting tale about a ship called “The Flying Dutchman” that sank off the coast and is reputedly seen to mysteriously reappear on occasion. There are a number of popular residential areas along the South Peninsula, including Fishhoek Kalk Bay Kommetjie Noordhoek Simonstown and more. SA Hometraders has a number of houses and homes for sale, apartments and flats, cluster homes and townhouses for sale in the South Peninsula area of the Western Cape in South Africa.

NOORDHOEK:

The Noordhoek valley remains one of the Cape Town's treasured destinations. Despite its rural atmosphere and rustic surroundings, its famous beach and its vast wetlands, Noordhoek has lots more to offer, including a wide range of activities. Many guesthouses provide a wide variety of accommodation. Noordhoek is situated at the foot of Chapman's Peak. It has a delightful village atmosphere with awesome mountain and sea views. Here you will find horses, pigs, cows, hens, ducks, geese and rabbits roaming around in gardens and open public spaces. Here you will see numerous wild peacocks, guinea fowl, Egyptian Geese and meerkats. This is where you will hear the owls hooting at night, where you will watch the Black Eagle soaring above, and where you will hear the call of the Fish Eagle echo as it flies over the majestic mountains.
