Avian Leisure

 
 

Description

Avian Leisure has two spacious and modern apartments, both with their own private entrances and ample off road parking, in a natural setting on the hillside overlooking False Bay.

Shearwater, with its unrestricted and fabulous sea views, sleeps four adults comfortably. Facilities include a large open plan living room with self-contained kitchen and dining and sitting areas, a large sea-facing master bedroom and a second bedroom, both with twin beds, and two bathrooms, one with shower and one with bath. Both living room and master bedroom face onto a large wooden deck with magnificent views in all directions. Kitchen is fully equipped with hob, oven, microwave, fridge, crockery and cooking utensils. TV and telephone available and kettle braai by arrangement. Watsonia is a one bedroom suite, with twin beds, a bathroom with large shower and a light and airy living room with small but well equipped kitchenette (fridge, microwave, hob, crockery and cooking equipment). TV. It does not have a patio but guests staying here have access to our garden, which provides stunning sea views. Laundry service is available in the village. All towels and percale linen are provided and are changed twice a week. The apartments are serviced on a twice weekly basis.

We are ideally situated to explore the delights of the Western Cape, from Cape Point to the Cape Winelands. Simon's Town itself is a charming and historic village offering warm hospitality and a relaxed atmosphere:

- a variety of good restaurants and shops in and around the village
- safe, sheltered bathing beaches on the warm water side of the Peninsula
- Access to a myriad of activities, experiences and sights...sea fishing, walking, scuba diving, canoeing, bird watching, pelagic trips, whale watching, golfing, shark viewing, to name but a few... And over and above all this, there are the simple pleasures of waking to a spectacular sunrise over False Bay and watching the full moon emerge over the bay.


Check-In  02:00 PM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

Location: We focus on the needs of visiting bird watchers – including guided birding trips, helping self-drive guests to plan their birding excursions, birder friendly garden, and convenient access for pelagic seabird trips from Simon’s Town harbour.

Beach: Avian Leisure is located on the mountain-side above a delightful, safe swimming beach – either walk down the hill (1 km) & up again, or drive down and park next to the beach. And we're on the warm ocean side of the Peninsula.

Great Outdoors: Our location offers close and convenient access to beaches, Cape Point, many mountain and seaside hikes, and action activities such as kayaking in the sea, biking, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, birding, whale watching, and shark cage diving.

Luxury: Our Shearwater Apartment is extremely spacious and decorated in a contemporary style matching the colours of the ocean.

Outstanding Views: Views from Shearwater are simply magnificent: from the 'fynbos' natural garden to the bay and the mountains beyond. The sunrises over the bay are spectacular, only to be topped, at Full Moon, by the sight of a large orange moon rising over the sea.

Relaxation: This is a natural environment with little traffic and little pollution - in fact the air at Cape Point, close by, is used as the benchmark for clean air. So if the views themselves don't help you to relax, the clean air will.

Fantastic
Karen Johnson, United Kingdom
16 October 2010
We stayed in Shearwater and wow this apartment was fantastic. The views from the rooms were outstanding and the rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated with so many little extra touches (flowers in the room and lay on the towels,). Apartment was fully-equipped and so peaceful. We were given lots of information about the surrounding area. We missed the porcupine in the garden but enjoyed watching and listening to the birds. We only stayed for one night at the end of our holiday a ... more

Very romantic, comfortable and friendly. Absolutely for bird-lovers! Owners make all the possible to please you. It was a pity to stay only for 4 nights, there is so much to do all around Simon's town.
