Noordhoek Nights

Posted on May 22, 2013 by noordhoekvillage

So you think that because you’re in Noordhoek, near the Southern tip of Africa that there is nothing to do at night? Well think again… Noordhoek Nights are busy and bright.  At Noordhoek Farm Village you have a choice of 5 restaurants just to get started!

1. The Foodbarn Restaurant 
Franck Dangereux and his team have created a special place in one of the Barns at the Village. Sublime food, delicious and decadent ‘fine-dining’ style but in a super relaxed and characterful old barn. The Foodbarn Restuarnt is open Tuesday to Saturday evenings from 7pm – 9.30 pm.  Special winter offer’s include 3,4 or 5 courses paired with wine starting at R185! Happy Days.   Also look out for Franck’s evening Cooking demonstrations which take place approximately twice a month and are free with your dinner.

2. The Toad in the Village 
Open 7 days a week from 11h30 am.  This is the original Toad- focused on great food, cold beer, excellent service and good times.  Fantastic at live sporting action and good old fun. As the Toad himself says, “We think you’ll like it” . Don’t forget Tuesday Night is Quiz Nite so bring your brain power and challenge the Noordhoek locals. It’s fun!

3. Village Sushi 
The Village is known for great restaurants but sushi was missing from the mix. When Andy and Lil arrived from North Beijing, they filled a hole! Although sushi is the order of the day, you can find an Asian speciality to the menu – from Miso soup, pad thai’s, thai curries and crispy tempura prawns… we think you’ll enjoy sitting down at de Noordhoek Lifestyle Hotel’s restaurant.

4. Cafe Roux 
A Noordhoek institution is now open in the evenings. After 7 years Cafe Roux is doing nights!  With super chef Julian Gabriel at the helm, a transformed interior and a more adventurous offering for the nighttime… Cafe Roux is a mouth-watering evening alternative in the ‘hoek. Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights for dinners from 6pm.  Watch out for Winter Sessions with the Wolftrap on Wednesdays that will take place at least twice a month with comedy or live unplugged music shows.

5.  The Foodbarn Deli and Tapas 
The Deli coffee shop closes at 4.30pm but transforms itself into a tapas bar in the evenings. Every Tuesday – Saturday the Tapas Bar starts at 6pm with individual plates or a combo of tapas delights (for R150) so you have the same vibey atmosphere as the Deli but a whole different food sensation!  The Deli shop is open until 9pm Tuesday – Sunday so you can buy wine from the shelf!

Children’s Champs in Noordhoek

Posted on May 22, 2013 by noordhoekvillage

Horses and Noordhoek are synonymous. There is a strong association between horses and Noordhoek. The town is well known amongst tourists and travellers who visit Cape Town for the horse-riding on the beach. As you drive the leafy lanes of Noordhoek, horses grazing in paddocks are a common sight and you are highly likely to pass young and old on horseback in this village with a rural feel.

Behind the scenes however, there is a vibrant and active horse community. Recently the Noordhoek Farm Village Horse trials were held in Noordhoek and comprised 3 disciplines of Dressage, Cross-Country and Show-Jumping. The event attracted riders and spectators from the Western Cape. There is always more on the go, however and Alex Otto from the Noordhoek Tack Shop caught up with Tarryn Mason from Noordhoek Riding Association about what’s happening in the horse community in Noordhoek this weekend.

Q1: What’s happening this weekend in Noordhoek?
A1: The Noordhoek Riding Association will be hosting the 2013 WP Pony Riders Show Jumping Championships on the weekend of the 25th & 26th May 2013 at the Noordhoek competition showgrounds located on Katzenellebogen Road.

Q2: What is your role in organizing the Children’s champs being held at the NRA ?
A2: I am the Sponsorship Coordinator and Show Secretary

Q3: What is the Children’s Champs competition all about? Does it involve children and ponies from all provinces in South Africa?
A3: The 2013 WP Pony Riders Show Jumping Championships is solely a show jumping competition that will feature the crème de la crème of Western Province’s pony riders (ages 15 and under). It is the final WP event before team selection is made for the upcoming SA Interprovicials, which will be held in July later this year in Port Elizabeth.

Q4: How many children are coming to Noordhoek to compete and what is the age range?
A4: We have a total of 60 riders competing this year and the 2013 WP Pony Riders Show Jumping Championships class has a record number of 12 entrants. In 2012 there were 8 entrants so we have seen a 3rd increase in pony riders in the higher grade class which is a fantastic sign of improvement in one year.

Q5: What are the disciplines/ classes people can expect to see?
A5: Pony riders will be competing in the discipline of Show Jumping starting at 40cm and going all the way up to 1.10m

Q6: Why do you think Noordhoek was chosen as the venue for this year’s Children’s Champs? What do you think Noordhoek has to offer that is special?
A6: I have only been involved in the PR champs for the past 2 years so I asked Sharron Trueb her thoughts on the above question. Her response was: “We’ve had the WP Children’s Jumping Champs here since 2007, and previously held Inter-Schools here. There are always a lot of children riding here in the valley, we have a strong Pony Club in Noordhoek, and an enthusiastic group of people to get involved in running the show, so it’s a natural fit!!”

Q7: Can anybody come to watch the kids compete? Do they have to pay to come and watch?
A7: The event is open to anyone young and old, horse enthusiast or not. Spectators will not be charged to come and watch. It is a family-friendly, fun day out for all.

Q9: Will there be refreshments and food for spectators?
A10: Yes, absolutely, there will be plenty of food and refreshments available, from Prue’s famous egg and bacon rolls to delicious pancakes at the mobile pancake kiosk! But if that’s not enough, it’s a hop and a jump over to Noordhoek Farm Village with a huge choice of restaurants and refreshments.

Q10: Did you ever compete in Children’s champs? What do you think it gives kids?
A10: Yes I did… many many moons ago. Competitions like this teach kids at a very young age the importance of dedication and sportsmanship, which will build their characters for the future.

Q11: What kind of sponsors were you able to find and why is sponsorship necessary and important for this competition?
A11: Sponsorship for a show of this kind is normally made up from a combination of willing company sponsors who have connections to the sport and wonderful parents wanting to give back.
This year we have our very generous sponsors who sponsor and assist every year such as Vuurberg Wines, Noordhoek Village Tack, Noordhoek Oaks and Squirrels, The Cunningham Family, The Sholto-Douglas Family, Film Event Media, Carlton Hair, The Riding Centre and The Pony Club, as well as a very keen bunch of new sponsors wanting to get involved such as The Moore Family, Fibre-Beet, Ingrid Altmann, Southwood Financial Planning, Namibia Horse Safaris, Greef Properties, Gremeltech, Thandeka Stables as well as the sponsor of the Main class, the 2013 WP PR Championship class, Design 360.
Sponsorship for a show of this caliber is of vital importance. We always want to put on a show for the kids that they will remember for years with exciting goodie bags, BIG bold beautiful rosettes, medals, sashes, prizes etc and this is only made possible due to the contributions of the sponsors.

Q12: What sort of exposure do the sponsors receive from Children’s champs?
A12: Sponsors are offered the following:-

  • They are given naming rights of the class they have chosen to sponsor
  • They will be mentioned in the online program as one of the sponsors.
  • They will be allowed to place company banners at strategic points at the venue for the duration of the show
  • They will be allowed to put up a stand and hand out flyers and leaflets for the duration of the show, if they so wish.
  • They will be mentioned over the loudspeaker continuously over the 2 days
  • They will be given a picnic basket for 4 on the Sunday filled with delicious goodies which they are welcome to enjoy at the designated sponsors area
  • They are welcome to be present when their sponsored class is running and award the rosettes and prizes money to the winners once complete
  • The sponsor of the main class has the additional benefit of having their company branding embroidered onto the winners blanket. This blanket is great as an ongoing advertisement for the company as ponies will wear it regularly to riding competitions throughout the country

Thanks Tarryn – great to hear about the Children’s Champs event this weekend and we wish all the kids success. Good luck with the event organization – hope it is a successful weekend and well done on your dedication to keeping high quality events in Noordhoek.

** Noordhoek Farm Village would like to thank Alex Otto from the Noordhoek Tack Shop for interviewing Tarryn and sharing the horse news with all of us at Noordhoek Farm Village, in Noordhoek and of course greater Cape Town. If you are interested in horses – there’s free entertainment happening right here in Noordhoek- come and check it out and support the kids!
Noordhoek Tack Shop has everything you may need for Horse and Rider – amateur or competitive!  They also have a phenomenal range of leather products & gifts and also cater for hounds!!!

Interesting People at Noordhoek Farm Village

Posted on April 12, 2013 by noordhoekvillage

We love the word “in·ter·est·ing” ! It’s an adjective with the meaning: “Arousing curiosity or interest; holding or catching the attention: as in an  ‘interesting debate’. “

Interesting people  are those curious, brave people with an opinion and a presence. They take risks and chase dreams and create memorable experiences. They explore and they share their discoveries generously. They are doers who try new things and embrace difference with passion.

At Noordhoek Farm Village we seem to attract interesting people – be they locals with a cause, our tenants who work with pride and passion or people like Rafal Kiptowski who visited us on Wednesday 10 April 2013. Rafal is certainly “interesting”!  He is following a dream -one based on his interests in cycling, photography and playing the guitar.

Rafal decided to spend 6 months exploring Europe on his bicycle and traveled a total of 15 000km through 16 countries. The cycling travelling bug seized him and the trip converted into a global cycling trip! He headed south into Africa via North and East Africa, down through Southern Africa and has just arrived in Cape Town.  He works and busks on his guitar from time to time to cover his travel costs!

His plan from Cape Town is to work his passage by sea to South America. Rafal has a perpetual grin on his face and lives life in the moment. His basic philosophy “Don’t worry, be happy” has already carried him safely over vast distances through diverse and scenic regions where he has met friendly people and had wonderful experiences sometimes often in difficult circumstances.

Noordhoek Farm Village will follow Rafal on his travels via his website www.rafalkitowski.pl. If you see him along the way, stop and have a chat to this inspiring and interesting guy. We wish him a safe journey.

This week we also had an interesting German family visiting Noordhoek Farm Village in their “unimog”.  Ute, Goetz and 7 year old Ben left Germany in Mid November for a 6 month road trip around Southern Africa. They are no strangers to long distance exploring having explored South America in 2003/2004 for 8 months and again in 2008/2009 with Ben as a 2 1/2 year old.

This trip has taken them from Namibia, through Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and of course South Africa! We were delighted to welcome them to Noordhoek Farm Village and wish them a safe completion of this journey before they follow their next dream!  You can follow their website blogs on www.ug2003-chillout.de

We like to think that these interesting people visit Noordhoek Farm Village because we are an interesting place with interesting people… but maybe we are just biased!

The Foodbarn Kitchen

Posted on April 12, 2013 by noordhoekvillage

Noordhoek Locals and visitors to the Thursday Community Market at Cape Point Vineyards, Noordhoek Estate will have seen the Foodbarn stall – a mobile “kitchen” where they deliver some of the best and most portable meals from the Restaurant and the Deli.

Turns out that Pete and Franck have had so much fun being OUT THERE that they have decided to create a mobile kitchen and take what they do to you!
Introducing … the Foodbarn Kitchen!

Where you can have many courses of tapas styled food from a funky menu that evolves with the seasons… and Franck’s whims!  And here is the great part -  you can have this wherever you want!  It could be your house, on a field, in the bush, at a stadium, on a wine farm….  pretty much whatever  you can imagine!

The Foodbarn Kitchen can handle any occasion so next time you have a birthday or a wedding, a cocktail party or a conference,  think about hiring the Foodbarn Kitchen and get the Foodbarn to come to you.

Currently some of the top selling food items in the Foodbarn‘s mobile Kitchen include: (see images on the left!)

  • Lamb or chicken bunny chow with coriander yoghurt
  • Panko crumbed fish cakes with real tartar sauce
  • Warm chorizo on rocket with smoked paprika mayo
  • Churros “doughnuts” with chocolate sauce and cinnamon suger
  • Delicious vegetarian risotto
  • Lightly curried calamari with aioli

In life T’s & C’s apply and the Foodbarn Kitchen does require an event for the appropriate amount of people so sadly you can’t set-up the Foodbarn Kitchen to have an intimate dinner for two. (I know – sorry!!)

Please contact Pete or Franck on 021 789 1966 for more information and reservations.

Community Carnival Games: 1 May 2013

Posted on April 12, 2013 by noordhoekvillage

Wednesday 01 May 2013 is a public holiday in South Africa.  Noordhoek Farm Village will be the host venue for an afternoon  Community Carnival to celebrate workers day.  It’s free, it’s fun and we look forward to welcoming you to celebrate Workers Day 2013.

The carnival will run for 3 hours with activities for the whole family.

A series of tables to bring out the creative side for parents and children. Arts and craft tables as well as bubbles for the smaller kids.  The craft tables and activities will be arranged in a semi-circle around the games in the centre.

There will be a series of continuous fun carnival games in the centre, such as:

Event Details: 
Date: Wednesday 01 May 2013
Time: 2pm – 5pm
Cost: Free
Contact:  Tracey on 021 785 4200

The Community Carnival Games will be run by volunteers from the Noordhoek Gathering & King of Kings. The Noordhoek Gathering is a new church started in the Noordhoek area by King of Kings Church at the request of some Noordhoek locals for people who prefer a non-traditional church.

About Worker’s Day: 01 May 2013 
Since the first democratic elections in 1994, Workers’ Day has been celebrated in South Africa on the 1st of May every year. Acceptance of this day as a public holiday became a rallying point for workers and their trade unions throughout the Apartheid years.

Workers’ Day originates from the historical struggles of workers and their trade unions internationally for solidarity between working people in their struggles to win fair employment standards, and more importantly, establish a culture of human and worker rights.
