The Chapmans Peak Hotel

The hotel is ideally located, 20 minutes from Cape Town city centre and Waterfront, 45 minutes from the airport and wine routes, in the heart of the Peninsula and midway to Cape Point. The Chapmans Peak Drive is considered to be the gateway of the Cape Point Route, leading to the popular tourist destinations of Boulders Beach, Simon´s Town and Cape Point itself, one of the top tourist attractions of South Africa.
The restaurant is well-known for the best Calamari in Cape Town, enjoyed on the large sun-drenched terrace with breathtaking views of the bay, beach and valley. Calamari at The Chapmans Peak Hotel was voted "one of top 20 things to do in Cape Town". Seafood platters and exquisite steaks are also popular items.
