Noordhoek is a seaside town in the Western Cape, South Africa, located below Chapman's Peak on the west coast of the Cape Peninsula and is approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi) to the south of Cape Town. The name "Noordhoek" was taken from Dutch and literally means "north corner". It was given this name in 1743 as being the northern corner of the Slangkop farm. The first permanent resident of European origin is Jaco Malan who built his house there. In 1857, the region was divided into six plots, most of which were bought by a single family, that of the de Villiers. Noordhoek nevertheless remains a predominantly rural area where farmers grow vegetables to supply ships calling at Simon's Town. It is best known for its shoreline and its long, wide, sandy beach, which stretches south to the neighbouring village of Kommetjie. Near the southern end of this beach is the wreck of the steamship "Kakapo", which ran aground in 1900, when the captain mistook Chapman's Peak for the Cape of Good Hope and put the helm over to port.
Noordhoek is 'n voorstad van Kaapstad, Suid-Afrika, geleë onder Chapmanspiek aan die weskus van die Kaapse Skiereiland, ongeveer 35 km suid van die stad self. Die naam "Noordhoek" is geneem uit Nederlands. Dit is die beste bekend vir sy skilderagtige kuslyn en sy lang, wye, sanderige strand, wat suid strek na die naburige dorp van Kommetjie.
