Lakeside Western Cape Cape Garden Route & Klein Karoo Information

Come Fly Your Kite

The thing that is so special about Lakeside is its weather: a unique micro climate on the warmer False Bay coastline which is usually warmer in winter and cooler in summer than other areas on the Peninsula.

Zandvlei Lake, from which the area gets its name, is a beautiful wetland area and quiet water sports destination for canoeists, windsurfers and sailors (sailing takes place under the auspices of the Zandvlei Yacht Club).

Other activities in the immediate vicinity include kite flying, walking and hiking - either around Zandvlei Lake, in the mountains above Lakeside or along the scenic Boyes Drive. False Bay is famous for its whales, and Boyes Drive is a particularly good whale watching spot in the breeding and calving season (June to November).

Westlake Golf Club is known for the loveliness of its surroundings, and Lakeside is within easy reach of at least four similarly scenic and challenging courses.

Boulders Beach is close by, and no visit to Lakeside would be complete without a visit to its colony of penguins - so used to humans they are almost tame.

Offering a selection of luxurious guest houses and close to all major places of interest (20 minutes to the Waterfront and the city centre, 30 minutes to Cape Point or the Stellenbosch winelands), Lakeside is particularly well positioned as a base for discovering the Cape Peninsula.
