Nautilus Lodge, Cape Town

Nautilus Lodge offers self-catering apartments, comprising of one, two and three bedrooms. The open plan kitchens are fitted with microwave and convection ovens, three plate hob and fridge/freezer. The kitchens are also stocked with the necessary utensils, crockery and cutlery. Linen is provided and both apartments are serviced daily (excepting weekends and public holidays). The well appointed, sunny lounges (with multi-channel television) lead straight through large sliding doors onto the private balconies fronting the apartments. Nautilus Lodge offers truly unparalleled views of Fish Hoek beach, Sunny Cove and the blue expanse of False Bay. The shallow, protected waters of False Bay are ideal for swimming and water sports, and ultimately for False Bay's more famous visitors, the Southern Right Whales. These gentle creatures arrive in June to calve and mate, and nurse their young until their departure in November. The familiar sight of a whale tail brings whale lovers crowding onto the rocks at Sunny Cove, eager to observe these giant mammals literally only metres away. A nocturnal sound familiar to guests of Nautilus Lodge is the heavy, echoing breathing of the whales wallowing close to the protective shores! Fish Hoek beach is noted for it's safe bathing, while the uninterrupted 1.5 km stretch of sand is perfect for beach walks. The overhanging mountain bluffs surrounding Fish Hoek keep the waters protected and calm, which is why Fish Hoek hosts many sporting events such as yachting regattas, life guard competitions and sea kayaking - all of which can be observed from the comfort of Nautilus Lodge's balconies! Fish Hoek lies south-east of Cape Town and north of Cape Point. Cape Town is a 30 minute drive away or one hour by train. The entrance to Cape Point Nature Reserve is a mere 20 minutes drive away. Fish Hoek is ideal as a base from which to explore the Cape Peninsula and its towns, while the famous wine estates of Stellenbosch are an easy day
