S1 – Ep 246 – Noordhoek – The Stunning Drive Across Chapman’s Peak!

The excitement was high in the car this day. We knew to get to Noordhoek from Hout Bay we had to drive across the stunning Chapman’s Peak to get there. It did not disappoint! It is more beautiful than we remember and it was awesome to see the number of tourists visiting the area. Noordhoek was a great stop. We have always just driven through but not this time. We made it our mission to find the beach and walk on it for the first time and it was so much fun! I would've loved to spend more time on the beach, but it was time to move on. We will definitely be back to this beautiful place! #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #capetown #westerncape #noordhoek #chapmanspeak #houtbay

Love the quip about the documents had the same problem yesterday with my wife in hospital car park lol efforts to keep the road secure are a credit to the country the overhangs reminds me of Italy can you imagine riding along the beautiful beach amazing and the stables my favourite sidecar .lovely horses like the joke a guy asks directions in Ireland where's the nearest pub the Irish guy says the harp is 1mile away and shamrock is 1mile that way the guy asks witch ones the nearest oh the harp he says lol lovely beach nice and quiet thanks for taking me on one of the best scenic roads in the world cheerio till the next one

What a beautiful drive this Chapman's Peak is...but my first Argus Cycle Tour somewhere before 1998 will forever be implanted in my brain. My first Argus..I did 6 only.. at about 19:40 in you video just at that horses sign in Noordhoek my chain broke. So I had to walk the bicycle from there the whole of Chapman's Peak...free at the downhills into Hout Bay where they repaired the chain...just before Suikerbossie. What made things worse was the night before I hit my little toe on the corner of a cupboard and it was standing sort of like a Y next to the other toe! I think I walked for 1 1/2 hours...I think I must get into my car and drive that route again...here we live 30km from Cape Town and when last have I been there and it is just so beautiful...thanx for showing it again. You 2 rock!

Got to be one of the most beautiful drives in the world. But not for someone who gets carsick! Talk about an attack of the Bends! Two of my children got very carsick, not nice!! R57 now! When Roger and I were around there we would moan at R20. We were still lucky. Such a beautiful view of the Sentinel! Now that is a painting. Noordhoek is another beautiful memory for me and my Beloved. We went there for lunch at one of the lovely restaurants for a weekend treat. Those horses you saw are part of a riding school. There are quite a few of them out there. We often visited the farm village, which has a lot of craft shops worth looking at. Noordhoek is a lovely beach to take a nice long walk, but dont go when the wind gets up, unless you like being sandblasted. Instant exfoliation😅🤣

Cruising around like this must be one of the best things anyone can ever do. You are so blessed to be able to go on this endevour . And now to have the technology to bring it to anyone all over the world is absolutly magnificent . I enjoy this so much.

No words are adequate for this kind of beauty and you have to see it to believe it. My last visit was in 2017 but thank you for taking me around this spectacular drive again. STUNNING!

[flodillon]

All I can say is Spectacular its so beautiful and just loved the horses at Noordhoek. Could actually recall the smell as you walked on the beach. Thank you for this much appreciated episode.

[ronnykenny]

WOW, WOW, WOW. absolutely FANTABULOUS, I'm not a seasoned travel but I doubt there is anything as beautiful in this whole wide world .thank you so much you guys, did get a bit nervous while you were under the overhangs

Hi you two! Thank you for taking me along right through to Noordhoek.
A few decades ago I lived in Greenpoint for parts of a year or two (for work) and on Saturdays would take my bicycle on that road, but only to Hout Bay and back (no toll gates). I can still vaguely recognise some of the scenery, but at the time I needed my eyes and energy for the road.
Now I could enjoy the stunning cliffs, beaches, sea and greenery without distraction
That Noordhoek beach is really out of this world!

Please note that I'm holding my breath for the next outing, so don't take too long!😚
Stay safe!

[hjaarsveld]

Thank you for every ride we have with you. We are living in The Netherlands at the moment and very homesick haha.We look forward to every episode, there is not a more beautiful place than South Africa, and we miss it baie. Thank you for all your efforts with these videos making SA feel closer. Appreciated.

[alettamurray]

My gosh you two 😊 This has become my favourite channel! As an advocate and relocating, I need to be sort of close to the High Court. But taking us all along on your travels, I am beginning to rethink Blouberg? Any suggestions as I adore Noordhoek? Still loving the conversations ❤ You chaps are super informative, thank you so much.

[munesumangava]

Wow! How you must feel driving in that splendour!! Nature!!! And driving under the rocks….. freaky but exhilarating!!!

[baldwintheanchorite]

There's always that one guy walking the Chapman's Peak road that makes you wonder where they came from

[NeptuneDesign]

As a fellow south african youtuber can I just say, I'm addicted to this channel! All those good old memories from my roadtrips!!!
