2 Best Hotels in Noordhoek, South Africa

Situated in family-friendly and often extremely busy Noordhoek Farm Village, this moderately comfortable hotel is at the very least a practical option if you're looking for no more than a place to stay along your way. Rooms are functional and unremarkable aside from the fact that four of them are wheelchair-friendly, a rarity across the peninsula. There's plenty to do right on its doorstep, though it frequently turns into a place where large groups congregate for morning drinks, sometimes after cycling events or in preparation for nearby weddings. It also hosts conferences, which can seriously impinge on privacy, peace, and quiet, never mind the dithering service. There's a small pool and a pleasant courtyard with lemon trees.

Close to the beach, enfolded by mountains, and surrounded by horse farms and lush green space, this collection of self-catering cottages tucked beneath ancient oaks offers a proper countryside atmosphere. The rooms are extravagantly large and the homey atmosphere is well-suited to the countrified setting. There's a good little spa on the premises, and the location is ideal if you want to escape the town's busier locations (like Noordhoek Farm Village and Cape Point Vineyards). You can opt for a rate that includes breakfast or choose self-catering (the latter's a good idea given how many nearby places there are that serve fabulous breakfasts).
