The complex is within walking distance of a bus stop, which connects to Melkbosstrand as well as Cape Town ABOUT THE AREA Regarded as the start of the ever-growing-in-popularity Cape West Coast, Melkbosstrand is something of a village, although many regard it as a suburb of Cape Town given that it is a mere 35 kilometres outside of the city centre. Melkbosstrand is considered one of South Africas safest towns. Melkbosstrand is a favourite with locals and offers hours of beach stolling, surfing, sunsets to put most sunsets to shame, and the much photographed view over Table Mountain and Robben Island. Melkbos literally translates as milk bush and refers to the Euphorbiaceae bushes that grow on sand dunes here, called melkbos by all those familiar with the milky latex substance the plant gives off. Whilst the village is closely tied to the romantic impression of white beaches, great seafood sold at local restaurants, and one of the most popular beaches for kitesurfing, it owes its existence to a thoroug development the Koeberg nuclear power station built with the help of the British and the French 6 kilometres north of Melkbosstrand, which needed housing for foreign contractors. Melkbosstrand is nonetheless an ideal and extremely pretty base from which to explore both Cape Town and the West Coast, particularly as the Durbanville winelands are close by and the Boland Mountains, offering a number of wonderful day trips through valleys hung with vines, blue skies for most of the year and mountains looming in the background. The villages of Darling (think darling town tucked in amongst vines and home to Evita se Perron; theatre you mustnt miss!), Malmesbury (the largest town in the Swartland known for its wine and grain farms), and even Riebeek-Kasteel and Riebeek-West if youre prepared to travel a little further, are all within easy range of Melkbosstrand and well worth the effort.
