About Marina Da Gama

Built on the banks of Zandvlei estuary, Marina Da Gama is a scenic, master-planned residential suburb characterized by white-washed Mediterranean-style homes, canals, and quiet cul-de-sacs. The vibe is relaxed and community-oriented, popular with water enthusiasts canoeing on the water and residents walking dogs along the waterways against the backdrop of the Muizenberg mountains.
