About Colourdots
Colourdots is an independent regional information resource covering towns, suburbs, beaches, public places and small businesses in the Western Cape, South Africa.
The site documents locations and publicly accessible places with practical, factual information intended for residents, visitors and local businesses. The aim is to provide clear, useful details that are often difficult to find in one place, including access, facilities, parking, pet policies, safety, contact information and local context.
Geographic coverage
Colourdots focuses on the Western Cape province, including Cape Town and surrounding regions such as the Overberg, Cape Winelands, West Coast, Garden Route, and Karoo towns. Each location is placed within its geographic context by describing nearby towns, natural features and transport routes.
Information standards
Information on Colourdots is compiled from on-site visits where possible, publicly available sources, municipal information, signage, and direct contact with businesses or organisations. Pages follow a consistent structure so that readers can quickly locate practical details such as:
-
location and access
-
facilities and services
-
contact details
-
usage rules and restrictions
-
safety and seasonal considerations
The site does not publish reviews, ratings or sponsored opinions. Descriptions are written in a neutral, factual style.
Independence
Colourdots is independently operated and is not affiliated with municipalities, tourism offices, property agencies or booking platforms. Business listings provide contact information only and are not endorsements.
Updates and maintenance
The site is continuously updated as locations change, businesses open or close, and new information becomes available. Older pages are revised when updated information is confirmed.
Colourdots intends to function as a practical reference for local places in the Western Cape rather than a travel blog or booking service.
