Noordhoek Farm Village

Set only twenty-five minutes from the centre of Cape Town on the southern slopes of Chapman’s Peak Drive is the Noordhoek Valley, and here you will find the Noordhoek Farm Village. Don’t be surprised to see chickens, ducks, geese or even cows and pigs wandering around the gardens of the village. The Noordhoek Farm Village has a relaxed, unhurried lifestyle that is sought after by many environmentalists & artists. There are free children’s activities here every Saturday between 10 and 12 – craft days, magic shows, clowns, face paint and an Enchanted Parties Theatre. While the children are enjoying themselves in the playground you can explore the shops or have a quiet drink in one of the two pubs.

The Noordhoek Farm Village, under its shady oak trees, is home to a number of specialty stores and restaurants, a farm stall, a couple of art galleries as well as a number of craft workshops where you can actually witness craftsmen at work. There’s even a village farm stall where you can stock up with fresh produce. The Pompous Fly is a delightful olde world curiosity shop that offers a collector's dream of collectibles, fascinating bric-a-brac and a range of interesting items for gifts or simply a place for you to browse around. Situated in and Manor House to the Noordhoek Farm Villageis the De Noordhoek Hotel, a newly built hotel that is completely eco-friendly. You’ll even find the light globes in this hotel are of the energy saving variety. This hotel is certainly an hotel with a difference, and is the perfect place for a weekend stay.
