[7] An optional stop at Noordhoek Farm Village will be on offer. We recommend you taste some of the best coffee brewed this side of Cape Town at the Village Roast and see why many coffee lovers have not been disappointed. Coffee is at the guest’s own account. Noordhoek has a real village feel, with quiet beaches, delicious organic food, bareback beach rides, mellow live music, and artisanal shops. Life is a little slower and quieter here, and there are few better places to enjoy a little break from the energy of the city.
