About Mitchells Plain

Mitchell's Plain lies on the Cape Flats, hugging False Bay south-east of the city centre, and you'll get there easily via Baden Powell Drive or the M17 linking up to the N2. It's about 25km from Cape Town International, so no drama for fly-in visitors. Locals often nip through to Klapmuts (45km) for a winelands day out, while some go the distance to Pearly Beach (163km) for whale season. With over 50 fast chargers around, EV drivers are sorted. Don't miss the tidal pool at Monwabisi Beach, a proper local gem.
