Arniston / Waenhuiskrans One of the World's Best Hideaways

Arniston [or Waenhuiskrans] only 2 hours drive from Cape Town, is an old fishing village with a quaint atmosphere. The town is best known for its 200 year old restored fishermen's village, Kassiesbaai. This village, a National Monument in its entirety, with its whitewashed, thatched cottages, has stolen the hearts of many an artist and photographer. Experience the customs of the locals, as many who live here still make a living from the sea.

There are some quaint little coffee and craft shops to visit in the village, the sea is safe for swimming (and relatively warm) and the sand dunes around the town are great to explore. The name Arniston comes from a transport/hospital ship that sank near the coast in 1815, with a loss of 372 lives. Only six passengers survived the ordeal and a monument was erected on the beach in 1817 to commemorate the loss. A replica of this can be seen above the beach in front of the hotel.

You will not find a pumping nightlife and adrenalin-packed attractions here, only an azure sea, cobalt sky, peace and quiet. Activities in Arniston include angling, swimming, hiking, whale watching, and seeing the loaded fishing boats come in to Arniston Bay.
