Sonnekus Guest House  

Tucked into Kalk Bay at the foot of St James Mountain and overlooking False Bay, this 4-star boutique guesthouse sits a 4-minute walk from St. James Beach and about 7 minutes on foot from the Save Our Seas Shark Education Centre. Kalk Bay Harbour, Table Mountain National Park and the Cape Floral Region Protected Areas are all close by; Cape Town International Airport is roughly 37 km away.

Housed in a lovingly restored 1926 Edwardian home, Sonnekus has 9 individually styled rooms inspired by sea and mountain views. Expect Select Comfort beds with premium/down bedding, private bathrooms (many with deep soaking tubs), satellite TV in guest rooms or common areas, and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

Pamper-yourself spa treatments and a spa tub, plus an outdoor tennis court and a relaxed TV lounge. Free self-parking and a concierge help you get out and explore; pick up the promenade for seaside walks, fishing or seasonal whale watching (May–November).

Complimentary wireless internet, a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and dry cleaning/laundry services make stays easy for both leisure and short business trips.

Breakfast is served daily with continental and full options, and special diets can be catered on request. There’s a bar/lounge and limited room service, plus many excellent local restaurants within easy walking distance for authentic Cape flavors.
