Renowned for long white sandy beaches, vast wetlands and ancient milkwood forest, Noordhoek epitomizes a relaxed, unhurried lifestyle that is sought after by many environmentalists and artists, so don’t be surprised to find horses, pigs, cows, hens, ducks and rabbits roaming the gardens and open public spaces.
Noordhoek Farm Village is an enchanting destination set under the oaks, for families, friends and visitors.
Whether you are looking for art, wine, accommodation or just some relaxation, the numerous lifestyle services, a well-equipped tourism office, regular events, a children’s playground and open space make this Cape Town’s No 1 farm village.
Café Roux, The Food Barn and The Toad in the Village are all listed in South Africa’s top 800 restaurants and combine relaxed dining in a spectacular outdoor location, the finest freshest ingredients and first-rate cooking and service – catering for every need, desire and occasion.
Shopping at Noordhoek Farm Village is the complete opposite of the normal run of the mill shopping centre and allows for a relaxing experience, where visitors can wander leisurely around and peruse the wide variety of goods on offer.
In spite of being the newest addition, De Noordhoek hotel presides over the enchanting farm setting like a mother hen with her brood of chicks. This boutique hotel offers accommodation of excellent value for leisure and corporate travellers to Noordhoek, Cape Town.
And last, but not least Noordhoek Farm Village takes special care in catering for the small people – namely the kids, so look out for the schedule every Saturday for great weekend activities!
All activities are free, take place between 10h30 and 12h30 and include Valentine’s craft days, magic shows, craft tables, clowns, face painting and Enchanted Parties Theatre.
So whether it is a birthday party you are planning, letting your kids learn how to make pizza or just enjoying some relaxing retail therapy, Noordhoek Farm Village is on hand to entertain your kids while you find something to resonate with your personal identity.
