About half a mile from the train station and close to all the restaurants and bars, Boulders beach is about a 20 min walk away. The train from Cape Town took just over an hour and only cost about £1.20, the track runs right next to the sea. Our room was clean and nicely furnished, as was the whole building, better than we expected. ... more
