St James, situated 30 minutes from Cape Town center, was the first resort to be developed by the British in the early 1900's.

Relaxation comes easily with a substantial music and literary collection, an English pub and a secluded courtyard with trellised grapevines. The living area spills outdoors to the sheltered garden and outdoor swimming pool, with unbroken vistas of the Indian Ocean. From the outdoor terrace captivating hours observing human aqua activities and the subtle changes of nature will mesmerise even the most cynical city dweller.
