Luxury and Great Comfort TGCSA 4-Star Luxury Guest House. The best guest
house experience on the Cape Peninsula! Tranquility Guest House is situated
just 30 minutes south of Cape Town and nestles between two mountains and
two oceans along the False Bay coast.
Set
high up on a mountainside, it boasts magnificent sea and mountain views,
and is within walking distance to the beach.
|
|
|
| Since
its opening, Tranquility has been inundated with people who love a delightful
place to be and a place where refreshment and restoration are not hard
to find, including warm South African hospitality.
Open
the mountain door and, if you are feeling energetic, take a walk in Table
Mountain National Park, amidst the indigenous fynbos, to Elsie’s Peak,
where the views are unbelievable and False Bay lies before you from Strandfontein
to Cape Point; or within a few minutes walk to Fish Hoek’s beautiful, long,
white, sandy beach, one of the safest and warmest swimming beaches in the
Cape; and its equally famous whale-watching promenade, Jaegers Walk, where
from July to October, whales loll just 50 metres from the shore in preparation
for mating and giving birth and huge schools of dolphins may be near by.

Visitors
are sometimes treated to the sight of the local fishermen 'trekking' (the
Dutch word for pulling) for haarders and yellowtail fish just off the beach.
Smell
the salt in the air, feel the sand between your toes and breathe in the
fresh mountain air. If you're hungry, why not try the fish shop across
from the BP garage in the village, renowned by Capetonians across the Peninsula
for its delicious fish and chips.

| If
it is exercise you are looking for and you have a bike or a good pair of
shoes, the road to Kalk Bay or to Simon’s Town is the perfect one to hit.
With waves crashing below you on one side and mountains towering above
you on the other, your senses become intoxicated with just being alive.
Kalk Bay, with its famous fishing Harbour; its own version of Petticoat
Lane: junk shop after junk shop filled with bric-a-brac and “antiques”
and of course its famous cafés and restaurants – not to mention
‘Olympia Café and Deli’, known for its good food and its fresh pastries
- is only around the cove.

Simon’s Town, its naval base and museums, its famous dog - St. Just Nuisance
– and its boat trip to see the now famous breaching of the Great White
Shark; as well as Boulder’s Beach - swimming with the penguins - are a
twelve minute car ride away and a twenty minute ride by car will have you
at the most south westerly point of Africa at Cape Point, a natural World
Heritage Site, where the cold Benguela current on the West coast and the
warm Agulhus current on the East coast merge. The guest house is ten minutes
by car from the internationally renowned Chapman’s Peak Drive and the oldest
wine route in the Cape, the Constantia Vineyards, the first, a perfect
vantage point to watch the sun go by and the second, a great outing for
a rainy day, where anything from wine to olives can be enjoyed. The guest
house is 45 minutes away from Cape Town International Airport and centrally
disposed to all of Cape Town’s tourist attractions, the perfect guest house
for one day tours to Cape Town city-centre, the V&A Waterfront, and
Table Mountain; Hermanus; the Cape Winelands and the West Coast National
Park to see the flowers.
Should
you be a golfing enthusiast, your wife shall have the privilege of waking
up and looking out her window to catch you, in time, teeing off of your
first hole – with binoculars, of course – at the famous Clovelly Country
Club just across the valley.
WHAT
IS TRANQUILITY? – A luxurious and exclusive guest house where food
is our passion, the tranquility addictive and the attention to detail our
gift. Where you leave the bustle of the valley below and you rest beneath
the crag of a mountain; you lie in bed watching the sunrise and you hear
the Cape francolins announcing the start of a new day; you linger by the
fireside eating a delicious home-cooked breakfast and you soak up the sun
on your private deck whilst reading your favourite book; you take Rosie,
our border collie, for a walk to the beach or up Elsie’s Peak and you become
one with nature and smell the fresh flowers; you watch whales frolic in
the bay and you gaze in awe at the breathtaking views of the valley, mountains
and sea; you lie in the Jacuzzi on the mountain deck beneath the stars
and you relax in a candle-lit bath spellbound by the moonlight; you feel
the warmth of hospitality and you enjoy the pleasures of Tranquility. It
is the most peaceful state of mind. So why not come and stay at a guest
house which has something for everyone and plenty of soul too. May Tranquility
touch your soul.
