Noordhoek is a peaceful coastal valley suburb of Cape Town, South Africa; known for its beautiful shoreline with a long wide sandy beach stretching for 8 km across to the neighbouring suburb of Kommetjie. There are many accommodation establishments which make Noordhoek popular with Cape Town people and visitors as a place to relax and soothe the soul. The name of the village "Noordhoek" comes from the Dutch for "north corner" when there were large farms that provided provisions to the ships of the Dutch East India Company moored at nearby Simonstown. There is no real commercial farming here anymore except for award winning Cape Point vineyards, although the properties of old Noordhoek are still zoned agricultural. For this reason it is home to many who keep and ride horses as well as those who love the rural village atmosphere. Traveling anywhere in the village offers a verdant green feast for the eye, with colourful flowers growing not only in gardens but on the verge of the roads, and ducks and geese roaming the lanes. Here you will find cool leafy country lanes with road crossings for horse riders and clean fresh air unpolluted by industry. Because of its position, Noordhoek enjoys more hours of sunlight than anywhere else in Cape Town and many artists live in Noordhoek. Noordhoek faces west and one can expect a spectacular, colourful sunset on the ocean almost every night. Enjoy it from our affordable Cape Town accommodation or from the decks of one of the nearby collection of country restaurants and pubs.
