On the other side of the Peninsula about 15kms from The Fig Tree Cottage is Simonstown - home of the South African Navy. The town has wonderful late 19th and early 20th century architecture and a number of museums. Just Nuisance - the only dog ever to be commissions in the navy - lived in the work during the 2nd World War.
