Noordhoek Boutique Hotel

The Cape Peninsula is arguably the prettiest part of the Western Cape. There are a scattering of old hotels along False Bay, but very few new ones. However in the village of Noordhoek there is a newly built boutique hotel that is well worth a visit. Many readers may not be familiar with the term boutique hotel – it is a term that has been made popular over the last several years in North America and the United Kingdom to describe intimate, usually luxurious or individual hotel environments. Boutique hotels such as the one in Noordhoek differentiate themselves from larger branded hotels and motels by providing personalized accommodation, services and facilities. And so it is with the de Noordhoek Hotel. All of the guest bedrooms here have en suite bathrooms complete with bath and a water-saving shower, they have satellite television and a high speed Internet connection point. There is also a honeymoon suite with its own private garden and spa bath.

Boutique hotels are usually much smaller than conventional hotels, and this is true in the case of the De Noordhoek. There are several things about this hotel that are different. It was designed to be eco-friendly, and this is borne out by some facts about the hotel. All waste matter generated by the hotel is sorted and recycled, and kitchen waste goes to a local worm farm (can you beat that?). Hot water all comes from solar power, and the light globes are all CFLs. This Noordhoek boutique hotel even uses firewood that originates from invasive species such as the Blue Gum and Black Wattle.
