Chartfield
Guesthouse evokes the spirit of a time when everything was done with a
little more style and with a lot more attention to detail.
It's a
haven created to whisk you away from the cares of the world the moment
you step inside this grand old house, which has been standing for over
120 years overlooking the picturesque Kalk Bay harbour.
Now
lovingly restored, Chartfield Guesthouse is nestled in this quaint seaside
village where the pace and charm is reminiscent of a bygone era while every
modern convenience is provided for.
|
Almost
all of our rooms offer unrivalled views over the sea and Kalk Bay harbour.
Large
and private, allow the cool ocean breeze to whisper through your open windows
bringing with it the faint sounds and maritime scents of the village below.
Decorated in an understated, comfortable and uncluttered style, con- temporary
sea house luxury awaits you, far from the cares of the world. All our rooms
are with en-suite bathroom and furnished with king size beds and flat screen
TV with 8 DSTV channels.

hustle and bustle of the restaurant can be witnessed first hand at the
Chartfield Guesthouse Restaurant has become not only a must for guests,
but also for local Kalk Bay gastronomes. With an eclectic hand selected
Euro-African menu, we invite you to dine with us in the splendor of Chartfield
Guesthouse. |

Kalk
Bay is a bastion to the Cape's sea-faring past. First visited by Simon
Van Der Stel in the 17th Century one can't help but feel you've traveled
back in time, worlds away from the high-rise hustle of Cape Town. Named
after the chalky lime stone deposits found in the area by the Dutch in
1806 Kalk Baai (Chalk Bay) soon became a busy little fishing village. |
|
|
A
railway line in 1883 brought with it more fishermen and tourists in their
scores. In 1895 a municipality was founded and non-fishing families were
encouraged to settle in the area. This developed into a tight knit bustling
seaside village and much of everything that makes it special remains today.
Everything
in Kalk Bay is within safe walking distance and it's a great way to really
soak up the charm of the village. Restaurants are speckled all along the
main road along the shore catering for every taste should you wish to try
something different away from Chartfield Guesthouse's cuisine. From festive
pubs to tranquil eateries, everything is on your doorstep.
|
| There
are monuments at- testing to the history of Kalk Bay, a variety of quaint
home-owned stores far removed from the impersonal malls of the city and
Kalk Bay Books is one of the finest bookshops you'll find anywhere in the
country should you fancy something to read while on holiday. Down the road
is the Historic Naval Base in Simon's Town resplendent with old pubs and
seaside dining. Within 30 minutes you are already at the Cape of Good Hope.
or at the Cape Town City Centre or at the Airport.
