Parking & Transport

Parking in Simon’s Town can be a challenge. We recommend car-sharing where possible, a taxi service, or even the trains. (Check the train times for park and ride options at Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, and Glencairn).

On-the-Go is a local taxi service which is reasonably priced. Phone 068 403 0278, or 079 486 4228.

Hop aboard the eco-friendly Tuk Tuks from Hakuna Matuktuk, and enjoy a breezy, Wi-Fi-filled ride between Books on the Bay venues — free of charge!
