If you are in Mouille Point you are having Fun!

Mouille Point

Mouille Point

Friendly coast­line; check. Waving dis­tance of Robben Island when facing said coast­line; check. Short name with the unusual arrange­ment of 3 vow­els (in a row!) that every­one will mis­spell; check, check. Mouille Point.

One won­ders if the sound of the Atlantic Ocean's drift between Granger Bay and Three Anchor Bay inspired the nam­ing of this coastal por­tion lend­ing itself gently to Wikipedia's sug­ges­tion that 'Mouille is a phon­etic term that applies to cer­tain con­son­ants hav­ing a pal­a­t­al­ised, "liquid" or softened sound'.

Blackheath Lodge is a gor­geous Victorian renov­a­tion. Its wooden floors, high ceil­ings, spa­cious interi­ors and unob­trus­ive décor, with just a smat­ter­ing of African chic, gives it an eleg­ance that provides a charm­ing wel­come to weary trav­el­lers. Every large en-suite room, of which there are ten, has been styl­ishly dec­or­ated with no sign of com­prom­ise or eco­nom­ising. One or two win­dows afford one a view of the Atlantic Ocean, the advant­age of the home’s pos­i­tion up on High Level Road. Getting to and from the well-known Atlantic Seaboard beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton is a mat­ter of minutes, and you’re but a stone’s throw away from the city centre and the V&A Waterfront ...
