About Macassar

Macassar is a quick run down the R310 off the N2, handy if you're heading between Cape Town and the Helderberg side, with Somerset West and Strand just next door. Cape Town International is about 18 km away, so it works well if you want to skip the airport crowds. Locals nip through to Khayelitsha or Elgin most days, and with over 10 fast chargers around, EV drivers are sorted. Down at Macassar Beach, fishermen still cast off the rocks at sunrise like they've done for years.
