Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Surf and swim at this safe beach or snorkel in the African Kelp forest below the surface. Hike the iconic Elsie's Peak with its incredibly diverse flora and of course the stunning views of False Bay. In winter you can hear the Southern Right whales breathe on a still night or watch in awe as they breach playfully once the calving season is over. A stay at the Glencairn Beach Bungalo will revive your connection to the natural world. Soulfood.
