In the springtime, whales can be seen basking in the bay, and sunset horse rides are offered all year round. Close by, the charming Noordhoek Village offers local shopping and first-class dining.

If you, like us, are concerned about the health of this planet, a stay at Oceangolf will, literally, not cost the Earth. Eager to be environmentally friendly, we now rely on the sun to provide almost our entire energy usage and draw our water from deep underground reserves alongside extensive water capture. Imagine standing under a hot shower or swimming in a heated pool, knowing all the warmth has come directly from the sun with water unaffected by drought.SOLAR POWER: All our hot water is heated directly by solar power, heating 1500 litres of hot water at any one time. Our electricity is generated by 40 solar panels, fitted by Green Energy, giving us 17KVA, enabling us to use solar power throughout the day and battery storage during the night. We have changed all our lighting to energy saving bulbs, and our outside lights are PIR, solar LED.BOREHOLE WATER We have our own borehole, reaching 70 metres underground, which feeds our extensive tank storage of 170,000 litres. Our commercial purification system allows all the water to be pumped into the house, hence there are no water restrictions, and our drinking water is double filtered to ensure its purity. Our guests can have showers and baths whenever they want, but naturally, we still ask them to be careful with this precious resource.We live in a very beautiful part of the Cape Peninsula and take our impact on the environment very seriously. Our responsibility is to preserve the natural beauty and reduce our energy consumption but we also encourage others to do so. We regularly monitor our energy bills, checking no energy and no water is wasted. Our sinks, baths and showers are fitted with reduced-flow-rate taps and the toilets with water saving twin flushes. We have made a significant reduction in our carbon footprint, with the aim of meeting the standards outlined by the Green Tourism Business Scheme and more importantly so a stay at Oceangolf literally does not cost the Earth.
Please note, we are not a party/events venue. Prior permission from management required.
Our quiet hours are between 9pm and 8am.
We offer a licenced bar (own drinks not allowed)

"We simply loved our stay at Oceangolf. The house and garden are beautiful, and the view is stunning. John, the owner, was most accomodating, and helped us with everything from dinner reservations to our car! We chose to pay extra for breakfast, which was a little pricey, but definately worth it. I hope we have the chance to go back!"
"Beautiful setting, friendly service."
"We spent almost a week at Oceangolf at the end of our family holiday in South Africa and had a wonderful time. From the moment we were welcomed by John at Cape Town International Airport to the moment we were delivered to the airport on our way home we were treated like family. Nothing was too much trouble. Oceangolf is very well located in a quiet area, with plenty of places to eat nearby. We could have stayed much longer and felt that we had only scratched the surface. It was about a 30-40 minute drive to the centre of Cape Town, particularly exciting via the Chapman's Peak Drive which starts just a few hundred metres from the accommodation. The accommodation was very pleasant - the kids were particularly pleased with the tree house and satellite TV. (not in the tree house!). Booking accommodation over the Internet is a little worrying, but we had no problems and our stay was trouble-free and very relaxing. Oh yes, and the artwork in the rooms was stunning."
"Great venue, great views, very good value for money. Will definitely stay there again."
