The Cabin

Fifty metres
from the bay

Captain's Cabin sits on Main Road in Saldanha, a short walk from the water — close enough that the harbour is part of the view and the seafood does not travel far to reach the plate.

It works two shifts. Through the day it is a family restaurant: seafood, sushi, grills and curries, coffee on the deck, kids at the long wooden tables. After dark it turns into a cocktail and sports bar, with the Tiki-Bar open, the big screens on and live music on the calendar.

There is rooftop seating upstairs, tables out on the deck and the bay across the road — which is why so many people end up staying a lot longer than they planned.

It has become one of the West Coast's natural gathering points — bike clubs on a Sunday run, birthday tables that spill across the room, locals who have been coming for years and holidaymakers who find it once and come back.

The Restaurant

Seafood off the West Coast, sushi rolled fresh, ribs and steaks off the grill, curries, pasta and burgers. Long tables, deck seating, coffee all day.

The Tiki-Bar at Captain's Cabin — timber bar, orange stools and painted tiki mural

02

The Tiki-Bar

Driftwood, carved masks and a painted beach that never clouds over. Cocktails, draught and a corner of the Cabin that does not take itself too seriously.

Nights & Big Games

Screens on for the rugby, live music on the calendar, and a room built for birthdays, club runs and tables that were only ever meant to be a quick one.

What comes
out of the pass

A mixed culinary experience by the West Coast — the sea is the headline, but the menu runs a lot wider than that.
