WATER’S EDGE

Lake Michelle, Noordhoek, Cape Peninsula

Magnificent mountain views from Lake Michelle eco estate across the Noordhoek Valley, are constantly mesmerising but being a wetlands area, there’s so much of interest right here at the foot of the garden - saltwater marshes and three naturally occurring islands all teem with indigenous wildlife. More than 120 species of birds share their home with otters, fish and even the rare Western Leopard Toad.

Water’s Edge is close to Noordhoek Farm Village with its restaurants and delis, and the ‘village’ even has its own Aegir microbrewery tucked into the milkwood trees on the way to the beach - just the place to relax with sundowners after a walk on Noordhoek’s magnificent Long Beach. Set at the foot of Chapman’s Peak Drive, one of the most spectacular routes in the world, it’s no surprise that this is a destination for swallow investors who come here to enjoy long summers in the Cape.

And once you’ve discovered laid-back Noordhoek, you’ll be hard pressed to leave. With excellent shopping malls nearby and a vibrant community market on Wednesdays in the village, along with the sunset market on Thursday evenings at Cape Point Vineyards, it’s no wonder this area originally attracted the horsey set and surfing families who wanted their kids to experience the joy of living in a rural setting. Today, they have the best of both worlds as discerning buyers have moved here for the peaceful lifestyle.
