For hundreds of years, residents of Simonstown had known of the existence of two holy shrines situated just above Runciman's Drive. There in a forest clearing above Goede Gift, people from far and wide came to pay their respects.

In the early years of Simonstown, the community was a small and concentrated one - all living within the immediate proximity of the two shrines. Typical of all Kramats, the area has always been enveloped in an aura of calm and tranquility. An ambience heightened by the sound of a full stream running along the length of the shrines and down to the mosque where it collects to form a small pool.
