Exclusive beach neighbourhood with much to offer.
If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle, Llandudno accommodation is sure to offer an oasis of coastal calm. This primarily residential area lies on the Atlantic Seaboard of Cape Town, somewhere between Camps Bay and Hout Bay. In 1903, the valley that included the beach and its surrounding residential area was declared a township and named Llandudno, after the North Wales seaside resort of Llandudno, which means "Parish of Saint Tudno" in the Welsh language. The similarities between this Atlantic Seaboard village and the village of Llandudno in Wales were the primary motivation for choosing this name.
One of this neighbourhood's biggest attractions is its beautiful beach, which is flanked by mountain and dotted with large boulders. Private, sheltered and far less crowded than other nearby beaches, this is a great place to enjoy a picnic, catch some rays, watch the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean or take a swim (beware though: these waters are rather chilly and the currents are very strong as well). Llandudno also enjoys some of the best surf along the Atlantic Seaboard, so if you are into surfing, this is the place to be.
Aside from its lovely beach, Llandudno is unique in that it has a strictly residential approach to keep it as peaceful as possible. There are no streetlights, no restaurants, no shops and no bars to be found anywhere within the suburb. There is also very little parking, which further helps to reduce traffic to the area. If you need to get out and about however, Camps Bay and its bustling beachfront is just minutes away, while the City Bowl and Hout Bay are also within easy reach. In terms of tranquillity and quiet, you are sure to enjoy its seclusion and beauty.
If you are seeking a peaceful location that feels far away from everything, while still being near enough to access nearby beaches and attractions, accommodation in Llandudno is sure to be just what you need.
