Africa Safaris & Holidays

25 minutes from the centre of Cape Town looking over and with direct access to the 8km long unspoiled beach of Noordhoek… lies Monkey Valley. Forest, mountain, beautiful soft sandy beach, surrounded by a Nature reserve…..yet in a city and that city, Cape Town, one of the most beautiful in the world. The Monkey Valley Beach Resort is perfect for a start or end of your South Africa Safari and suitable for families with children.

 
The resort offers a blend of old world log and thatched cottages and bedrooms. Each is hidden in private alcoves within the rare milkwood forest, ensuring complete seclusion. The range of units have a peaceful ambience with uninterrupted vistas across the Atlantic ocean or the mountainous magic of Chapman's Peak.

Thorfynn's Restaurant on the premises offers delicious country cuisine made of free range and organic products. It is open daily from 7 am to 11 pm. Breakfast is served all day. Enjoy seafood and steaks, wood fired pizzas & sushi - in the restaurant with log fireplaces or on the wooden deck  overlooking the sea, but seltered from the wind.
