Muizenberg Reviews
Busy life

Only the water.
Muizenberg is a very nice laid back suburb and a heck of a lot to do - great beach for surfing & swimming - mountain hikes - great restaurants - I stayed at the best place ever right opposite the beach called Cape Capsules Back Packers the owners organized boat trips for us it was awesome. There is the Blue Bird Garage which makes excellent food on Friday nights - I’ll be back soon !
The views and activity.
The scenic drives, ocean, holiday atmosphere.
Various beaches and scenic drive...
The variety of Restuarants and the scenery.
Nice holiday spot in Muizenberg.
