Neighborhood info

Harfield Village is a popular and well-known community in Claremont. It's close enough to the larger business in Claremont for convenience, but offers a smaller community with a main road lined with excellent restaurants and shops. Once a year, the main road of Harfield Village, is filled with art and street food with it's annual festival. The micro-brewery scene is well-represented... and a Harfield beer tastes better when in Harfield. The train station is a 8-10 minute walk away and links guest to Cape Town central (a few stops away). The opposite direction, the train takes you to seaside exploration, with surfing in Muizenburg, the bohemian life in Kalk Bay and penguins in Simon's Town. We are a 5 minutes from the hub of Harfield Village with it's coffee shops, bistros and other interesting shops and restaurants. We're a 15 minute walk from the well-known Cavendish shopping area with a range of high-end shops. We're a 15 minute drive from the center of Cape Town. We recommend Uber Taxi as a reliable and cost-effective way for getting around.
