Muizenberg in Cape Town is a beach village that pairs surf culture with relaxed living. For travelers who want a quieter alternative to the city center, bed and breakfasts here offer a personal touch: home-cooked morning meals, local advice, and a short walk to the sand. The Admiralty Bed & Breakfast sits on the water's edge of Zandvlei Lake, 5 minutes from the beach, with outdoor pool, lake or mountain views, and free bike rental to explore the coast. Breakfast is served in a dining room overlooking the courtyard, and guests can borrow boogie boards and binoculars.
Another standout, The Muize, is a stone's throw from the beach and caters to budget-conscious families with BBQ facilities, free parking, and a very good breakfast. The Place Muizenberg offers elegant rooms with family spaces, an outdoor swimming pool with views, and a buffet breakfast with juice and fruit; Muizenberg Beach is a 6-minute walk away. For golf lovers, Steenberg Golf Club is 10 km from The Muize, and Boulders Beach (home to penguins) is 18 km away. Most B&Bs include free WiFi, private parking, and non-smoking rooms, with rates varying by season-expect to pay more during December and January.
