Located at the Old Wellington Fruit Growers Market building between Longmarket and Darling Street, about 10 minutes drive from our selection of accommodation in Camps Bay Cape Town, is the Eastern Food Bazaar. You will know that you have reached it by the beautifully decorated entrance, an explosion of Asia in the heart of the city center.

The bazaar is 100% Halaal and includes a range of mini restaurants offering a smorgasbord of colourful, spicy food fit for anyone desiring to eat their way through Asia. At prices so reasonable, they could probably afford to sample something from every counter, if they have the stomach room. For example ‘Bombay Bites’ offers vegetable biryani and bean bunny chow for just R20, the most expensive item on their menu is purri bhaji for a mere R25. Perfect if you are wandering the city and need to stop for a quick snack.

While Asian food, particularly India, offers a wide range of vegetarian food, there is also plenty on offer for their meat eating companions, especially from ‘Istanbul shawarma/falafel’. Guests of our Camps Bay accommodation can choose from either lamb or chicken shawarmas.

Other delicious Asian foods to sample are dosa’s from ‘Madras Dosa House’, a crispy pancake from South India filled with savory delights, or chats, which are traditionally found at any Indian party or wedding. Purjabi, from Northwestern India and Eastern Pakistan are also available for any adventurous guest of our Camps Bay rentals.

What Asian food bazaar wouldn’t have Chinese food and for the less adventurous, there is even a Pizza counter.  

Once you have filled your tray with delicious Asian fare, you may choose to eat in the room provided above the bazaar, which seats 80-100, or get a take away and take your food back to the comfort of your Camps Bay resort, or even enjoy your dinner while watching the waves break on Camps Bay beach.

Cape Town’s skyline was drastically altered last year with the completion of the new Cape Town Stadium which replaced the old Green Point Stadium. The beautifully designed stadium can be seen from many areas in Green Point and Sea Point and is seen clearly across the Bay from the West Coast beaches of Milnerton and Bloubergstrand and from Robben Island.

So visitors arriving by ship, temporarily docking in at the V&A Waterfront will be welcomed to the city by the stadium, which is lit at night and resembles a paper lantern from a short distance, adding a soft glow to the skyline.

Visitors staying at one of our many Camps Bay rentals will be delighted to know that the Cape Town Stadium, a quick 10 minute drive from Camps Bay, is now open for public tours. Guests at our selection of accommodation in Camps Bay Cape Town are now able to view the entire area inside, the seating areas, VIP areas, media facilities, pitch, change rooms, warm up rooms and tunnel. The tour lasts an hour and fees are charged at R45 for adults, R17.10 for pensioners and children under 12 and R11.40 for individuals in a school group.

The stadium has a 55000 seat capacity, which were filled during the 2010 Fifa World Cup when the stadium hosted 8 matches. Guests of our Camps Bay rentals should bring their vuvuzelas along to test the acoustics of the stadium. Other then rugby and soccer matches, the stadium can also be used for international music concerts, such as when U2 played earlier this year which saw 72000 people accommodated in the fields and on the stands.

So if you can pull yourself away from the white sands of Camps Bay beach, or the inviting pool of your Camps Bay accommodation, a tour of the Cape Town Stadium will surely be worth a visit.

Guests often choose to stay in our select Camps Bay accommodation to be close to one of the most popular beaches in Cape Town. Camps Bay really is the place for the trendy, the up-and-coming and the up market to see and be seen and what better place than on the beach. Camps Bay beach is the place to go to spot celebrities and supermodels, both local and international, and where the well toned show off their muscles, bikini ready bodies and of course their volleyball skills.

This affluent suburb is defined, like many a great city or nieghbourhood, by its main road, in this case Victoria Road. Camps Bay’s main road is lined with the most stylish restaurants and clubs on one side and a palm tree lined beach on the other. 

Guests choose to stay at one of our chic apartments and villas in this particular area of Cape Town because they are looking to relax by day and to be entertained by night. That is why a trip to this area is not complete without a visit to the well-known Theatre on the Bay. Whether your tastes are for the dramatic or for the more whimsical musicals, comedy, cabaret and dance, the Theatre on the Bay is sure to deliver.

Keeping with the theme of entertainment, the Theatre on the Bay is conveniently placed next to the Act 1 Theatre Café and is strategically open for dinner before and after the show next door.

If hobnobbing with performers is your thing, or if you simply just want to give your opinion of the production that you just saw, Dietrich’s Bar or the Coffee Lounge are just the place.

When staying with us your Camps Bay accommodation will be situated in the heart of this fashionable suburb where your desire for entertainment will surely be met.
