Woodbridge Island

Cape Town's best-kept secret — a secure island community with unmatched Table Mountain views.

About Woodbridge Island

Woodbridge Island is a small, exclusive residential island nestled within Milnerton, connected to the mainland by a single bridge over the Diep River lagoon. Surrounded by tranquil waterways and natural beauty, it is widely regarded as one of the safest neighborhoods in Cape Town thanks to its controlled security access and gated community design. The island is famous for its iconic lighthouse — a beloved local landmark — and its breathtaking sunset views of Table Mountain across the lagoon. Despite its peaceful, village-like atmosphere, Woodbridge Island is just minutes from Canal Walk shopping centre, Century City, and the N1 highway, making it a convenient base for exploring the greater Cape Town area.

Things to Do

Woodbridge Island is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy a slower pace. Walk or jog the scenic loop around the island with water views on every side, or kayak along the calm lagoon waters. The island offers front-row seats to some of Cape Town's most spectacular sunrises and sunsets over Table Mountain. The iconic Woodbridge Island lighthouse is a must-see photo spot. Nearby Big Bay is one of Cape Town's premier surfing and kite-surfing destinations, just a short drive away.

Why Stay on Woodbridge Island
