St James, historically known
as "millionaire's mile", is making its comeback as one of the trendiest
places to stay in Cape Town.
Just over a kilometre in length,
this prestigious little stretch along the coastline of False Bay is where
Rovos Rail has established its two five-star guesthouses - St James Manor
and St James Seaforth.
The main road through to
Kalk Bay Harbour is mediterranean in style and a trove of novel antique
shops, delis,sidewalk cafés, boutiques and art galleries.

A mere five-minute walk
away, fresh fish can be bought from the local fishermen and the harbour
itself has charming restaurants offering home-style cuisine and fine-dining
experiences.
The area still boasts the
colourful Victorian bathing boxes and grand old houses reflecting the splendour
of the early gold- and diamond-mining era.
In front of the guest houses,
across the road, you will find the famous tidal pools and swimming beaches.
A favourite pastime is the early morning swim in the temperate waters of
St James. |
| The area also offers interesting
walks along the historic promenade and up the imposing mountains, which
provide an impressive backdrop to both houses.
Perhaps the biggest attraction
is the land-based whale watching. In season they appear literally metres
from the shoreline and can be seen clearly from both properties.
Small though it may be, the
church, the school, the hotels, the old aquarium, the beaches, the homes
and the people all contribute to make this a unique suburb steeped in history. |
