Metro-culture dating back to the early 1800’s where the Battle of Blaauwberg took place in Melkbosstrand in 1806. This was a battle in which the British were forcing the French to heel to their governance. It was of course a time when French Batavian troops resisted the British who were trying to establish a monarchy and develop the country.

Melkbosstrand is the connection point between Portugal and South Africa’s fibre optic cable network with the SAT-3/WASS network traversing the sea bed between the two continents.

Melkbosstrand has been the playground for South Africa’s rich in years gone by and this was in part due to the proximity of Langebaan and Club Mykonos. In more recent years property has become more affordable for people wanting to invest in this holiday village. The properties display the affluence in the resort type village with affordability depending on what is in the wallet.

This perceived and marketed exclusivity has created a demand for property in Melkbosstrand which is almost incomparable along this part of the Cape coastline. The white sandy beaches are filled with tourists and residents almost all year round with tourism increasing in season with favourable weather conditions.

There are however permanent residents in Melkbosstrand which means the town has developed into a town with schools and infrastructure forming the basis of this further development.

Tourism attractions in the town and further afield include, Club Mykonos, Cape West Coast Biosphere Nature Reserve, Grotto Bay Nature Reserve, Ratanga Junction Theme Park and Whale watching in season.

There is something for every desire catered for like horse riding on the Melkbos beach, night-life entertainment, restaurants, malls and commercial hubs, some of which are still under construction.

For the outdoor sportsman there are exclusive golf courses in Melkbosstrand.
