Emerald Bay, with its lush surroundings, offers an atmosphere of relaxation and plenty of opportunity for recreation. There are spectacular mountain views of the Hottentots and the Cape, and captivating sea views. Greenways Golf Estate is situated around a 9 hole golf course, and also offers a Club House with cafe/bistro, a larger swimming pool and two tennis courts, all of which you can enjoy. The house is situated right next to the sea, and there is no road or other buildings in front of the house, giving direct access through the garden, to the lovely, sandy beach, which is superb for some lovely walks. The shoreline offers wonderful beach combing possibilities and there are great rockpools when the tide is out. |

|
| |
There are many golf courses within 10km of the house, as well as a nine hole course on your doorstep, which is free to use. There is sailing at Strand and Gordon’s Bay. Cruises to Robben Island and sunset cruises are both to be recommended. The popular surfing spots are Kommetjie, Long Beach and Big Bay on the Atlantic Coast side of the Peninsula. Langebaan Lagoon, 90 minutes north of Cape Town, has ideal conditions for kite-surfing. Take a two hour sea kayak to Boulders beach – or something more strenuous! Abseil from the top of Table Mountain, go canyoning at Smalblaar Canyon. There’s endless wine tasting! The shopping in Cape Town is superb. The choice of beaches on the Cape Peninsula is vast, but each beach is unique. You can go horseriding, wildlife watching, whale and dolphin watching. Or for the really adventurous, how about shark cave diving! |

Further Details |
It is a short walk to the centre of Strand, which offers fishing, boating, surfing and other water-oriented sports and pastimes. To the east is Gordons Bay, which has a small harbour and yachts. Strand originated some 200 years ago as a holiday and fishing resort. Today Strand is a popular tourist resort and so has many facilities. There is a Pick n’ Pay in the centre of town, as well as at Somerset Mall. Numerous banks are along the beachfront or just off it. The main attraction is the ‘strand’ – 5km of beautiful white sandy beach, which is known to be one of the best and safest bathing areas in the country. Nearby Dune Park, at the other end of Strand, has a supertube and mini golf. The easterly wind or ‘Cape Doctor’ affords welcome relief from the heat in the summer. Strand offers supermarkets, banks and a variety of shops, and just at the junction of the N2 highway is the superb Somerset Mall, which has a huge array of shops, supermarkets, places to eat, and a cinema. The Western Cape has a typical Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and relatively cooler winters. During October to March, summer month temperatures range from 25-35C. However, evenings can still sometimes be a little chilly.
