Visited on 12-14 March 2021. We heard about this cave but did not realise it was so spectacular. Very easy to find as most locals hang out here as there is a small beach , quite a few walking trails & mountain biking opportunity. Some nice sand dunes to climb. The cave is only accessible at low tide by walking over the rocks so some footwear is advisable. We wore slops & it was fine. The entrance to get inside the cave is a small hole in a rock on your right as you walk towards the ocean. This gives you access to quite a big cave where you have amazing views of the ocean. You cannot access the cave from the ocean side as its a bit dangerous. Great photo opportunities within the cave and all the surrounding areas. If you have a 4x4 you can stop fairly close to steps to get down to cave area otherwise like most you park in the public area & walk , about a 10-15min on sea sand & there are signs showing the direction of the cave , the signs are a bit weather worn. The rock steps lead down to the ocean & you keep to the right walking towards the ocean. Definitely a must visit if in Arniston or surrounding areas

If you visiting Arniston, you cannot leave without popping into Kassiesbaai, its a tiny fishermans village on the sea side, so peaceful and beautiful, it also has a very nice beach if you like to take long walks or swim. The little village is full of small white cottages which is where the fisherman used to stay, today a few of them are rented out as homes and one or 2 are now running as a Bed and Breakfast and restaurants or tiny stores, where you can purchase small arts and crafts made by the locals or a quick delicious meal, colddrink, etc. Our favourite restaurant and I highly reccomend it is WANDA's for lovely freshly made seafood.

I honestly loved every second of this indulgent treatment. My therapist was also pregnant so we had such a lovely and informative chat about our bumps. I forgot my necklace in the locker and they promptly made sure to mail it back to me ( I don't live in Arniston). I can definitely recommend this for any mama's to be, it was a TREAT!
