Join Cameron Peters on a heritage walking tour from Muizenberg to Kalk Bay, a coastal path famed for its history, architecture and natural beauty.
After changing hands between the Dutch and British, Muizenberg, along with St James and Kalk Bay, became popular retreats for wealthy mining magnates.
This led to the development of multiple grand manors and stately homes in the area, earning this coastal stretch the nickname ‘Millionaires’ Mile’.
