Noah House

NOAH House review January 12-16 2024 Deluxe King room Delightful! Serene clean open, airy welcoming oasis. The most wonderful staff, Blessings, Maria, Violet and another beauty, whose face I will remember, treated me with warmth kindness and respect. Sarina and Gerald Van Engelen have restored a Victorian landmark into a jewel box treasure pleasing to all the senses.... I relished the sight of my morning cereal dressed with a tiny exquisite edible flowers..even the neighbor’s cat greeting me on the terrace with “free kisses”. The house oozes a wonderful calm spirit, each hour of the day light and shadows change…I slumbered like a child on pristine linens and awoke up to the sound of a charming avian symphony. I believe the house has been recently renovated - likely gutted and rebuilt from the inside . However I had an issue with one electric outlet which I brought to the attention of the owner. Aside from that my room had a view worthy of painting… Tall windows with white louvered shutters facing plumerias, palms, lush trees, and the clay tiled roof of a charming cottage next door. Waking up and gazing on the orange glow of early morning light shining on Lions Head ( part of Table Mountain) will be imprinted on my memory.. The design is eclectic and personal … Nordic minimalism pays homage to the soul of Africa. Rooms are uncluttered minimal subtly displaying subsaharan African Native artifacts … Mahogany masks, organically shaped earthenware, bold feathered cowry necklaces (fit for a tribal priestess) combined with a neutral palette of colors. Denim blues, black and white patterned tiles, earth tones, natural fabrics - jute straw cotton clay tiles, and white marble counters… The tall windows and ceilings have fans that create a fresh breeze .. The house is lit beautifully at night. After traveling a few weeks I was ready to leave Capetown but in truth could have spent a few more days at NOAH House. The Van Engelen’s offer their guests some unique experiences. Why not take a ride on their lovingly revamped NOAH tagged Rover for a sunset picnic adventure? Or learn to make gin with handpicked local botanicals … after all, the house is (part of or ) by SA’s famous Garden Route. If you’re incredibly lucky to have seen it all …perhaps spend your last day reading and relaxing, sipping stellar cappucino, or savoring a glass of SA wine, while admiring the wonderfully displayed contemporary art collection ( for sale by local SA artists) Or just simply take a few moments time to reflect on a sense of place, South Africa, or time (past /present / future). .. Life is a journey.. embrace the positive … An easy to do at NOAH House.

We had such a lovely stay at NOAH house! Sarina was so helpful throughout the process from when we booked to when we checked out. The property has beautiful touches all around and you feel right at home.
