Known as one of Cape Town’s most affluent suburbs, Fresnaye sits on the slopes of Lion’s Head, between the natural beauty of Signal Hill and the upscale streets of Sea Point, offering visitors a unique (and windless!) section of the Mother City to enjoy and explore. 

Although Fresnaye is most often visited by individuals interested in a more tranquil and suburb-like environment, a short walk down the notoriously steep roads will take you directly into the heart of Sea Point, where entertainment is guaranteed. From the gorgeous promenade to streets lined with restaurants, bars, coffee shops, galleries and more, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy. A trip to Sea Point wouldn't be complete without visiting the iconic Mojo Market. With a wide variety of mouth-watering food stalls, craft beer counters, live music and good times, Mojo perfectly reflects the energy and style of Cape Town.  

Despite its impressive and somewhat daunting reputation, the trails of Lion’s Head are suitable for hikers of all levels. At its highest point, Lion’s Head is 669 metres above sea level, providing hikers with spectacular views of the city. While most tend to opt for a daytime hike, the trails have grown in popularity for sunset and moonlit hikes, with some hikers preferring a view lit up by city lights. With Cape Town summers reaching as high as 38 degrees, don’t forget to pack in plenty of water, sunscreen and a hat before hitting the trails.

If you’re interested in diving into the excitement and fun of the city centre and surrounding areas without compromising on comfort, privacy or tranquillity, Fresnaye is for you.
