Makapa Lodge

Makapa Lodge is situated on the outskirts of Capri Village, a residential suburb of Fish Hoek. We look out over the Noordhoek amphitheatre towards the 7km long Noordhoek beach and beyond to the Atlantic Ocean. Many tourists walk or even go horse riding along Noordhoek Beach, whereas nearby Kommetjie beach is known for its excellant surfing. For those preferring to swim, the False Bay beaches of Fish Hoek, Glencairn or Simons Town are more sheltered and have warmers waters than the Atlantic.

There are many fine restaurants within a short drive, many specialising is sea food. The modern shopping mall at Longbeach is only a few minutes drive from the lodge this also has restaurants and cafes as well as a cinema.

A short trip along Chapmans Peak Drive afford spectacular views with the bonus of a visit to the harbour at Hout Bay, where the produce of the bounteous Atlantic is landed. There are also boat trips to Duiker Island to see the fur seal colony, or for those who prefer their feet on solid ground a visit to the largest bird park in Africa, the "World of Birds" is a popular venue.

The lodge is close to many fine hiking trails including those at the nearby Silvermine section of Table Mountain National Park and for those who wish to see our local chacma baboons a wildlife activity unique to this area, Walking with Baboons a specialized 2-3 hour walking tour takes you through mountain fynbos where baboons are encountered in their natural environment.
