Guest House accommodation in Noordhoek, Cape Town
I discovered
the lodge in Noordhoek, nestled between spectacular mountain scenery and the
shores of the wild Atlantic, some thirty kilometres from Cape Town
city centre.
On
arrival at Wild Rose Country Lodge, I was greeted by my charming
host and a glass of sherry. After
a brief check-in, I was escorted via tastefully appointed halls
and passages to my room. I paused
a moment to enjoy the view through the dining area.
Beyond
the unspoiled wetlands, five kilometres of crisp white beach stretched,
lazily beckoning me closer.
My suite was one of several, each tastefully
and individually decorated. Each with glorious sea or mountain.
Views. Mine was the African Room - elegant
yet comfortable with a slightly colonial air. The attention to
detail was impeccable.
I continued
to admire the scenery from the pleasant position of a foam bath. Once
refreshed I made my way to the intimate bar for a sundowner or
two as the glowing orb slipped quietly into the sea. Later I drew closer to the log
fire in the lounge and relaxed while my host made arrangements
for dinner at a fabulous seafood restaurant which overlooked the
Indian Ocean.
Up
early, I started the day with a full breakfast served in the sunny
herb-filled courtyard. I then had the fun task of deciding how
to spend my time; a gallop on the beach, take in a wine farm or
two, or a round of golf perhaps? Once again my host, eager to please,
organised everything possible. Conference
facilities are available.
Please phone Rose on +27 (0)21 785 4140
