Away from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town and yet only 15 minutes by car from the center, our 4-star da Heim Apartments are located directly on the beach at Table Bay. Just 1 minute walk away, the wide beaches and the fantastic view of Table Mountain await you. You can also relax in our gardens or swim a few laps in our solar-heated 25 meter pool.
Sunset Beach is the safest area in the entire Western Cape, so you can roam freely even without a car. All apartments are additionally alarm-secured.
A small shopping center can be reached on foot in 10 minutes, restaurants and cafés in 10 minutes by car.
Sustainability and Environmental Protection at da Heim Guesthouse
Solar Energy and Safety in Case of Power Failure
We have four solar systems that supply our guest house with hot water and electricity:
- Solar thermal system: 7 solar cells heat the water, which is stored in 2 * 500 l water tanks.
- Photovoltaics: 39 solar cells generate 10 kW of electricity during the day for daily needs.
- Photovoltaic with battery setup: 18 additional solar cells generate 7 kW and charge two batteries during the day, which ensure the electricity requirement in the event of a power failure and at night. This means that we are almost independent of the state power supply.
- WiFi, refrigerators, garage doors and sockets also work with the so-called “loadshedding”, which unfortunately often occurs in South Africa. (Please click here to read more about load shedding)
- A 10 kW heat pump, which is operated with solar power, brings the 25 m long salt water pool up to 27 degrees.

Water Supply
We have our own well and water treatment plant that provides drinking quality groundwater throughout the guest house.
Waste Sorting
We separate our waste into plastic, paper and other waste. We also collect glass bottles. The garbage is picked up by special disposal companies, plastic and paper are recycled.
If you book an apartment with us, you make a significant contribution to protecting the climate and the environment! They leave a “green footprint” on the earth
