Water saving 

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to beautiful Cape Town. We trust that you will enjoy your stay and appreciate our city as much as we do.

You are probably aware that Cape Town is in a very serious drought and there is a possibility that our dams might run dry by March 2018.
Under these circumstances it would be foolish not to conserve water as much as we can.

 We are currently experiencing level 5 water restrictions and are limited to 70lts of water per day per person. We may experience water cuts or a reduction in water pressure. We ask that you as a tourist also make a meaningful water saving contribution while you’re visiting. Please respect our scarce water resource by taking these simple measures:

– Choose a shower instead of a bath. An average bath at 10 cm deep uses about 80 litres of water.

– Take short showers. A 4-minute shower uses about 24 litres of water.

– If a shower is not available, remember that you don’t need to fill the bath to the rim to get clean. Share a bath – it’s fun! Or make use of the connecting shower head for a quick clean.

– Don’t leave the water running while washing hands, brushing teeth, or shaving. Use the plug.

– Use a glass or keep a container of water in the fridge (if available). One wastes less this way than by letting the tap run until the water is cold, or by drinking water from the tap.

– If you notice a leaking tap, please report it immediately.

– Toilet flushing uses 4lts per flush, we have a saying if it’s yellow let it mellow – if it’s brown flush it down 

Thank you for saving water with us.

Activities:

Golfing – Located in the centre of some of the Cape’s finest golf courses, Gordons Bay is the ideal base for you to enjoy golf to your heart’s content. Some guests stay a month or more to experience Arabella, Erinvale, Strand, De Zalze, Somerset West and the 9-hole Kleinmond Golf courses. Further afield are Pearl Valley, Paarl, Stellenbosch, Devonvale and Hermanus. 

The Danie Miller Trail – The gentle trail winds along the mountain (no steep up and down). We do recommend that you start the trail at Aurora street, walk to the anchor and back.  That particular side is well maintained.  The trail, so close, is an excursion into the wild fynbos. Walk a while, then sit and enjoy nature and the view, then return to your car. Closed shoes are advised.

Cheetah Outreach – On the Paardevlei property, close to Somerset Mall on the R44 near the N2 is this exceptional experience. Cheetah ‘Ambassadors’ too tame to release into the wild, offer you the opportunity to stroke these non-man-eaters, while you assist in conserving these elegant creatures. Other interesting animals can also be seen. Those interested in animals – do not miss this!

Tiggerfish Brewery – Also at Paardevlei – the same property as the Cheetah Outreach – is this stylish microbrewery. In a building filled with party characters, it is fun to stop by and taste a few flavours of local beer.

Monkey Town – More than 28 species of primates and other creatures roam freely in this leafy park. Children especially enjoy this experience. Just off the N2, near the Sir Lowry intersection.

Blue Rock cable wakeboarding – For those who love adventure and the burst of adrenaline, this fun sporting activity will challenge you and get you hankering for more. At the intersection of the N2 and Sir Lowry’s Road it is just 15 minutes away.
