Cape Capsules

At Cape Capsules, we warmly invite you to immerse yourself in the Muizenberg experience, nestled in our charming bohemian seaside village. Discover the allure of our beach, ideal for both surfers and swimmers, located just across from East Beach, famously known as Kitesurfer's Paradise. A short 5-minute walk will lead you to Surfers Corner, where you can explore vibrant pubs, clubs, and restaurants. Alternatively, enjoy a leisurely stroll to St. James Tidal Pool, or venture further into Kalk Bay to savour Cape Town's cuisine, art, and a treasure trove of thrift shops. We offer breakfast, sandwiches, and delightful pizza nights exclusively for our guests, including vegan options, right here on our premises. Relax in the cosy comfort of our communal spaces, perfect for work or relaxation. Alternatively, you can prepare your own meals in the self-catering kitchen. Perhaps treat yourself to a splendid coffee with freshly baked muffins or the Cake of the Day in our dining room. At Cape Capsules, we offer rentals of surfboards, wetsuits, and mountain bicycles. You're sure to find a friendly face to chat with or simply unwind to some good music.
