Long Street Baths

Long Street Baths

Actually, Long Street Baths - one of the hidden treasures of Cape Town - is not a spa but a Turkish Bath House. I discovered these baths last weekend, after a friend and me decided that is was time to get rid of our stress & tension and to give sore and stiff muscles their well-deserved break.

After four hours of steaming, swimming, sweating in the sauna and steaming and more relaxing I can truly say: This is my oasis in the heart of Cape Town. I felt relaxed and reborn. Especially due to Margie's wonderful massage. This sweet lady (61 years old) has worked here for 25 years and makes you feel completely at home, she explains you how a steam bath works and what good it does for you, and she makes sure you relax. She sees that as her duty.

What is nice about the Long Street Baths, apart from the fact that it is central, is that there are separate days for men and women. A day in the baths, including Margie's massage, costs R72 (±10 euro). Or R52 if you feel you don't need one.
