My neighbourhood
Places to visit, to walk, to have a meal and stunning views to enjoy.
A quiet established neighbourhood at the foot of the Helderberg mountain where one can still live close to nature.
Within walking distance one can enjoy a walk in an old blue gum forest, with a little meadering stream next to the path.
We are part of Somerset Neighbourhood Watch, and as such enjoy the safety of patrols and and a community that is very supportive.

A beautiful drive along the coast from Gordons Bay, stopping off at Pringle Bay for breakfast, visiting the penguins in Betty's Bay.
Breathtaking views of the ocean most of the drive.
Roll your car windows down, and smell the ocean, sunshine and breeze in one.

A beautiful little antique shop that transports you to another world.
Great for gifts, the occasional painting at a bargain price and items from long ago.
My weekly fix of magic.

Walks in nature
A place to refresh, rest and nuture your soul about 2km from Bird Cottage.
Short walks or long walks up the mountain. For those not feeling like a walk, sitting on a bench by the pond taking in the beautiful mountain and birdlife is to go back for more.
And the variety of proteas is breathtaking.
My favourite little quick escape to nature.
