Noordhoek Common — Chapman's Peak

A beautiful open common with mountain views, a stream, picnic areas and a dog park, about seven minutes from the beach. The children's area has swings hung from the trees, and there's plenty of space for picnics, sunset walks and kids' parties. Horses graze nearby. Calm in a way few public spaces manage.

A space to be in rather than a place with facilities — bring a picnic.
