CHAPMAN'S PEAK & CHAPMAN'S PEAK BEACH HOTEL

Fighting off the temptation to do yet another report on something in Cape Town, but the fingers that type this seemed biased. Its been decided by the powers that if we choose to finish off a 'Breathing Space' segment in a TRAVEL & RELAXATION section of our Wellness Trail, there is only one final destination, ANYWHERE NEAR MOTHER MOUNTAIN. We at least avoided her this time, you'll see her anyway....its like going home and not seeing Mom, never gonna happen, but we just wanted to remind you of Dad, Grandma, and the Kids. 
Mom ALWAYS wins right?!. 

Meet CHAPMAN's PEAK, beauty at its finest, with a view that travels, it takes you places, it has many sides, literally, which makes it unfair, but mother spoke of her favourite child, and this was the one she chose for us to talk about. 
Chapmans Peak Drive even has its own website, yes, its called www.chapmanspeakdrive.co.za, such an organised little road isn't it?! Now if you take a little peak, haha, at this fabulous site, you'll find that the Mignon's that Chappy employed to look after the website have included all the activities surrounding the this beautiful part of Cape Town, events, galleries and more. Have a squizz. 

We think if you're going to make the effort to go there, go everywhere that is touched by the peak, and everywhere it leads to, TAKE IT ALL IN, give it a few days. But mostly, and our original point, was this, take this in, go for the drive, and stop often, get out your car, and just watch, listen to what Mother Nature has to say, she'll tell you more than you think...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Annd look we found this video, so clever, its called a cyber drive, LOVE IT!
We hope when you come visit that you'll stay, over night at least once, and being the fairest Cape, there are poo-loads of places to stay, but we rather like this one, 
The hotel is situated at the foot of the world-famous Chapman's Peak Drive, in the beautiful valley of Hout Bay, yet another place to visit and take in, truly another one of our gems.

Its 20min from Cape Town's city centre and 45 Min's from the airport and wine routes, but distance and time never really matters in Cape Town, does it, you are meant to get lost in time, and on the drive, and never be on time for anything. 

The hotel has an awesome restaurant known for its Calamari, enjoyed on the large sun-drenched terrace with even better views of the bay, beach and valley. In fact, Calamari at the Chapman's Peak Beach Hotel was voted as one of the Top 20 Things to Do in Cape Town, and the hotel is known as one of the Top 3 in Hout Bay.
