Situated just below Lion's Head, bordered by the Cape Peninsula National Park, Fresnaye accommodation is guaranteed of exclusivity and luxury. The residences in this part of the Cape are some of the most expensive along the Atlantic Seaboard. Staying here would avail one of the relaxation afforded from being so close to the heavens, high up on the mountain slopes. The stresses and strains of daily life simply melt away when lying in one of the many hotels and guesthouses in this exclusive neighbourhood.

Fresnaye is within walking distance to the popular promenade of Sea Point, where one can find joggers and dog-walkers, pram brigades and romantic couples all sharing the same few kilometres in the evening. Don't miss out on walking the main road of Sea Point where restaurants and street-front cafes can be found, hosting numerous colourful characters and amazing delicatessen food types. The nightlife in Sea Point pales in comparison to the neighbouring suburb of Camps Bay, where the young and beautiful come out to play during an evening. This is the place to see and be spotted by the most famous in Cape Town and celebrities from all over the world. Take note of the Platinum Mile in Camps Bay, as this is where all the action happens.

Staying in Fresnaye is an experience in itself, when teamed with a visit to the Cape Town city centre. Find all of your guilty tourist pleasures here, from African art- and bead-work to material direct from the Zulu highlands. A trip up Table Mountain in the rotating panoramic cable car completes your visit. Rest your tired head on your Fresnaye accommodation's plush bed and get ready for another day's sightseeing.
