Seaside
retreat
In the glittery world of commercial tourism, St James is a closely guarded secret, a unique 200 metre strip of land between Kalk Bay (recently voted one of the trendiest seaside villages in the world) and the wider shores of Muizenberg. It lies within an amphitheater of sea and mountain and it is not by mistake that many old Cape families chose it as a place to live, encouraged by its lack of wind. St James is a class act combining colonial houses designed by Sir Herbert Baker and brightly coloured Victorian bathing boxes, with one of the oldest working fishing harbours. Although it started off as a surfing destination it is now known for the natural rock pools, lit with anemones and marine life that give the place a trademark quality in an environmentally endangered world.
The house with its 360 degree view over False Bay, lies above terraced gardens and on any afternoon you might see the stirrings of Southern Right Whales breaching and lob tailing.
