Strand Accommodation / Chameleon Lodge Strand Accommodation / B&B or Self Catering in Strand

Comfortably nestled in the peaceful avenues of the Strand and within easy walking distance of the Strand's white beaches, this 111 year old Victorian home offers excellent self-catering facilities and bed & breakfast accommodation.

Chameleon Lodge is a popular choice for tourists looking for the flexibility of self-catering accommodation as it is only a 20 minute drive to Cape Town International Airport, 30 minutes from the hustle and bustle of central Cape Town, 15 minutes from historic Stellenbosch and its famous wine route and 45 minutes to Hermanus (for whale watching). It is a golfer's paradise with more than 25 golf courses within easy striking distance not to mention a host of other sporting activites.

Chameleon Lodge has been licensed and approved by the Helderberg Tourism Bureau and currently holds a three star grading with the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa. Chameleon is affiliated to the RCI Time Share organisation.
