Welcome to Selkie Loft – a beautiful retreat space in our home in Noordhoek, Cape Town
Tucked under the Cape mountains, close to the longest Cape beach and surrounded by indigenous Milkwood trees, Selkie Loft | Noordhoek is the perfect private space for you to relax and unwind, spend time close to nature, explore the best of the Cape and meet the locals. Looking across a nature conservation area
of Cape fynbos towards the Cape mountain ranges of Silvermine Nature Reserve, Selkie Loft is a modern studio space that is both restful and cosy with everything you need. You’ll enjoy the spectacular sun and moon rises over Ridge Peak, the sound of roaring waves in the background and stargazing at the Southern Cross at night while during the day, you can watch Cape Sunbirds fluttering in the Acacia thorn outside your window and black eagles soaring overhead. Our friendly Giant Schnauzer dogs, Yeti and Lupin, the story of Scottish selkies in Africa and picking your salad from our organic vegetable garden will keep you entertained! The best of Noordhoek is all within walking distance from Selkie Loft – the 8km pristine white beach, horse riding on the beach, the Noordhoek Common and of course, our local Noordhoek Red Herring Centre and the Noordhoek Farm Village for great food, coffee and wine. Just around the corner – Cape Point Vineyards, sea kayaking with the Jackass penguins, basking whales in the bay, hikes in every direction, Cape Point “where the two oceans meet”, shipwrecks and shopping – while the historic picturesque villages of Kalk Bay, Simonstown and Kommetje are a short drive away. Cape Town is reached along the beautiful scenic drive of Chapman’s Peak, through the Republic of Hout Bay – Table Mountain aerial cableway, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront and Greenmarket Square are essential stops.
