The Space.

Kinghorns Gardens is a luxury retreat, completely private, self-catering, 2 bedroom guest house property with a maximum capacity of 4 people. It is situated in the idyllic Cape Town suburb of Noordhoek located on the picturesque Cape Peninsula. The farm gardens boast 8200 square meters. Rustic, yet luxurious in design and catering for all your needs, this garden style luxury cottage is the ultimate Cape rural living experience.

A separate, self catering 70 square meter luxury chalet below our farm dam is also available for rental. It is completely screened off from the main guesthouse and about 50 meters away from it. The chalet is a one bedroom double story unit for 2 adult people (a steep staircase rules out children), complete with an outdoor and indoor bathroom, a well equipped modern farm style kitchen, a sunset deck, Fibre optic internet, a small home office and a beautiful setting in between the trees. The chalet can be rented by one larger group as part of the main guesthouse, or it can be rented separately, but in the latter case without access to the gardens. Please refer to the Bookings and Rates section for rates per night. Please see the ‘The Chalet’ Tab for photos.

The main guesthouse house features only the highest quality finishes and everything is custom designed and built, mainly from oak and other hardwoods and natural stone. A well equipped modern farm kitchen caters for all your needs. Lots of stone work can be found outside and inside the guest house and creates a contrast to the other natural elements and colors. Two outdoor showers add unique experiences under the African skies. A well equipped library features a wide range of literature for every taste and includes natural literature on the biodiversity of the gardens and the Capes natural surroundings. Both bedrooms are en suite and equipped with fireplaces. A large fireplace features as a focal point in the living room.

A large sunset deck caters for any occasion from an abundant breakfast to a wine from our neighboring farm Cape Point Vineyards. The large gardens feature many areas and cater for any occasion and all weather conditions and vantage points. A waterfall (on a timer system) feeds a water stream running through the heart of the gardens and flowing into our farm style dam.

Meditation areas can be found around the gardens with water features surrounding them.

A large outdoor grill and seating area can be found above our farm style dam.

The Eco friendly house is designed to minimize carbon emissions and maximize recycling. A water filtration system allows an unlimited supply of filtered fresh water and bridges Cape Towns water shortages.

We grow our own organic olives and vegetables, make our own 'Cape Fynbos' style honey, all for our guests well being and enjoyment. Activities are strictly organic and no pesticides or herbicides are used at all. Compost is organically made from neighboring farms and organic materials from the gardens and houses.

The farm garden features an enormous biodiversity of indigenous Protea (rare Protea and Succulents are cultivated in our greenhouse), flowers, forests, grasses, rock gardens, picnic lawn areas as well as large olive orchards and lots of beautiful Mediterranean planting. Hundreds of herbs are grown for harvest and use the kitchen. We practice dedicated conservation efforts of plant species which are threatened by extinction in the wild.

A myriad of wild life can be found in the gardens and our dam. Our conservation efforts ensure this as well as an abundance of birds.

An outdoor sauna offers garden views.

Everything is completely private. Onsite parking is available.

World class restaurants, a coffee roaster, a farm market, a deli with a bakery and shops are within 5 minutes walking distance down the beautiful Village lane and the famous Noordhoek Longbeach is a mere 5 minute drive away. We are also located a mere minute’s drive away from the Cape Point Vineyards Winery.

Please note that Kinghorns Gardens is not a party or other event venue. We are a retreat and we value privacy and a quiet ambiance. We are also not pet friendly.
