No stay at the De Noordhoek Hotel would be complete without a visit to Cape Point, the most Southwesterly point of Africa. This is where the cold Benguela current on the West coast and the warm Aghulas current on the East coast come together. Cape Point, with its lighthouse is located at one of the highest sea cliffs in the world – 249m above sea level and is situated in situated in the 22,100 hectare Table Mountain National Park, a natural World Heritage Site. There is a small charge of R60 to enter the Nature Reserve, but it is well worth it. The entrance to the reserve is about 25 minutes drive from the De Noordhoek Hotel.
