Noordhoek
The lifestyle here is slow, relaxed and no one is in any rush. Noordhoek is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts seeking the tranquillity of nature.
Noordhoek is located right under the Southern Slopes of Chapman’s Peak Drive. It has an old school farm feel to it and horses, geese, pigs as well as rabbits are a common sight in the gardens.
The area is well-known for its long white sandy beach, green leafy lanes and wide open public spaces. The lifestyle here is slow, relaxed and no one is in any rush.
Noordhoek is crammed in-between the sea, mountain ranges and wetlands areas. Some of the recommended activities include surfing, exploring the Kakapo shipwreck and horse riding along the beach. Keep a lookout out for the Verreaux eagles soaring in the skies while you enjoy a sundowner overlooking Noordhoek beach and soak up the amazing atmosphere.
Noordhoek beach is dog-friendly and family friendly with white sand that stretches for kilometers. Its scenic beauty and surrounding vegetation is truly breath-taking. If you are on the beach during mating season, make sure you keep an eye out for whales or dolphins. Noordhoek is also home to an award-winning wine estate, Cape Point Vineyards, where it produces world-class Sauvignon Blanc wines. Pre-order a picnic and sit alongside the dam at Cape Point Vineyards, overlooking Noordhoek beach, sipping an ice cold glass of wine!
