Overview
Blinkwater holiday flat nestles between the towering mountain (lushly covered with the world famous Cape fynbos) and the sea where the rocky coastline is 100m in front. Nearby is the Palmiet River and the Palmiet beach which can be reached after an 800 yard leisurely stroll through the Kleinmond nature reserve, along a picturesque boardwalk gently sloping over rocks and shrubbery, whisking one effortlessly through nature. In the other direction, towards the left as you face the sea, 350 yards away, lies the little harbour for small fishing vessels that merrily hum into the bay in the mornings, and wearily return later, midst noisy shrieking seagulls, begging for a titbit to come their way.
This sets the stage for a wonderful relaxing stay, close to nature, close to the locals, close to the local curio shops in picturesque Harbour Road and numerous relaxing activities, close to restaurants and pubs, but also close enough to slip away to larger places like Hermanus, Cape Town Waterfront, Caledon Casino, Strand/Gordon's Bay or the Stellenbosch Wine Routes.
A visit to the penguin colony is very interesting - this is one of only two shore based breeding colonies of the African penguin. At the Rooisand nature reserve, just outside town, you can see not only various aquatic birds, but also the famous Kleinmond wild horses. The herd, which roams the flats of the estuary, comprises the descendants of horses that were abandoned after the Anglo-Boer War. They are feral but certainly not wild. There is ample grazing, including the succulent water grasses in the vlei, and green shoots everywhere.
Sport lovers are amply catered for in Kleinmond. There is a beautiful 9 hole golf course. Tennis, Bowls and Jukskei and many well described mountain walks / hikes are available. Arabella and Hermanus championship golf courses are a short drive away.
.Accommodation
Both bedrooms of the flat are sea facing and offer a beautiful view on the coastline and thundering waves. The entrance hall has double doors that can be opened to emphasize the closeness to the sea.
The master bedroom: double bed and convenient built in furniture. A sliding door leads to a safe, private courtyard surrounded by a high wall, with a lawn and small garden. Just what you need for sun-bathing and relaxing in private or for smaller children to play safely. The second bedroom has two single beds + 1, and built in furniture. Spacious bathroom with both bath and shower. Bedding and towels are provided.
The living area is fully equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Fridge/freezer, cooker, microwave, coffee maker etc. full DSTV, radio/CD player and comfortable seats. Doors lead to the private courtyard and braai room. The enclosed braai room offers cosy protection against wind and rain and is comfortably furnished with a table, chairs and sleeper couch.
The town of Kleinmond lies within the buffer zone of the first UNESCO declared Biosphere reserve in Southern Africa.

NOTE: If a search was made without stipulating the month of occupation the rate shown on the search results page is for the lowest cost month and the least expensive room. Where pricing is "per unit" the Average Price Per Person based on maximum occupancy is used for the price range comparison. A search made for Homes and Villas however will always be based on the full daily rate of the unit irrespective of the number of people the unit sleeps.
Rates are deemed correct at time of publication and may fluctuate depending on supply and demand. Establishments maintain their rates online and any differences should be referred to the Establishment's staff. Quotations once accepted are binding.
