Kalk Bay is the False Bay coast’s most characterful village — a working harbour, a string of antique shops, galleries and restaurants along Main Road, and a bohemian, artistic streak that sets it apart. Demand is steady and stock is limited, so well-presented homes let quickly. The Property Bureau manages a carefully selected portfolio of Kalk Bay rentals with a boutique, owner-operated standard of service.

Renting in Kalk Bay
Kalk Bay suits creatives, professionals and downscalers who want character, sea views and village life over space. The signature stock is the cottage and converted apartment stacked on the mountainside above Main Road and the harbour, much of it with False Bay views. Because the village is small and tightly held, good rentals move fast.
Typical rental range: R 14,000 – R 35,000 per month, depending on size, position, security, and finish. Well-priced, well-presented homes let quickly here.

Getting Around and Local Amenities
Main Road is the heart of the village — antique and book shops, galleries, cafés and the landmark Brass Bell beside the harbour and tidal pool. Kalk Bay station sits on the scenic False Bay line to Simon’s Town and back to the city, and Boyes Drive and Main Road link the village to Muizenberg, Fish Hoek and beyond. It is a suburb people rent for its atmosphere as much as its homes.

Mostly cottages and converted apartments on the slopes above the harbour and Main Road, many with False Bay views. Stock is limited and characterful rather than large, and well-presented homes let quickly.
