7 Places to Stay in Kalk Bay

The Kalk Bay Crash Course: A Quick & Quirky Guide to Staying in the Coolest Seaside Village in Cape Town

Welcome to Kalk Bay – the eccentric, ocean-kissed, mountain-cradled village where time slows down just enough to let your soul catch up. It’s where fisherman banter with artists, vintage meets modern, and the coffee is always strong (and served with a view).

Whether you're after boutique bliss, guesthouse charm, or the privacy of your own seaside sanctuary, Kalk Bay delivers – and then some. Some of these gems are proudly owned by Ideas Cartel, others are charming neighbours we’re happy to share with you. Either way, we've got you covered.
