Enter Simon's Town from Fish Hoek. Pass the railway station on the left-hand side and travel 460m to where the road forks. Take the right fork (do not turn right into Waterfall Rd) and then turn right into Arsenal Rd. Take the first left at the tennis court into Cornwall Street (this becomes Runciman Drive). Travel about 580m until you reach a 3-way stop. Continue on for another 700m. To your left is the entrance to Living Waters. Turn right into Harbour Heights. The road rises sharply and bends to the left. Take the first turn to the right (into Harbour Heights Drive 17 - 33) up a short rise which bends to the right and follow the road to the end where you will find Piguet's on the right. 

A short walk down the hill will take you into Simon's Town, where there are numerous restaurants, museums and shops to visit. The area also offers a wonderful range of natural attractions. Whales arrive in False Bay every spring, and may be seen clearly from the deck, shore or from one of the whale-watching charter boats based in the harbor, which also do trips to Cape Point and Seal Island. The world famous penguin colony at Boulders Beach is just a short walk away.

Further afield is the beautiful Cape Point Nature Reserve, which makes a wonderful start to a scenic tour of the southern peninsula, taking in Scarborough, Kommetjie, Noordhoek, and returning via Muizenberg and Kalk Bay, where you could pamper yourself with a treatment at the local spa! 

All of these areas boast a wide assortment of eateries to satisfy your passion for food. Other nearby destinations include Chapman’s Peak, Hout Bay and the Constantia winelands, where again you will be spoiled for choice when selecting somewhere to eat.

There are a number of beautiful safe swimming beaches within walking distance, or you can travel a short distance to other beaches on both the Atlantic and False Bay sides of the Peninsula.

Cape Town, with its numerous attractions including Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, etc is approximately 45 minutes away, while Stellenbosch and Franschoek and their winelands are about an hour’s drive away.
