The west coast of South Africa has long been admired as a tranquil yet welcoming holiday destination, ideal for family getaways or romantic breaks. Situated in Velddrif on the Cape West Coast, just 150km from Cape Town Airport, and minutes from the picturesque fishing village of Laaiplek, the 41 self-catering apartments and chalets at Port Owen are situated on the banks of the marina, offering superb views to enjoy from your private veranda or jetty. The Port Owen Marina was the first deep-sea, residential marina developed in SA, comprising 100 hectares and 3.5 km of waterways. The Marina is named after H. Owen Wiggins Junior, who was responsible for developing the area by dredging approximately 1 million cubic metres of sand and rock and constructing 7 km of embankment as well as many jetties and other infrastructures. He also established the Port Owen Yacht Club, set aside the Marina Centre and established the Langebaan Country Club. The marina is surrounded by the Great Berg River and is 1km from the harbour mouth where the river meets St. Helena Bay, the largest on the West Coast of Africa. St Helena Bay is believed to offer the finest sailing conditions on the SA coastline.

Offering an outdoor pool and spa, Port Owen Marina is located in Velddrif. Surrounded at the banks of the Berg River, the resort offers watersport facilities, a children's playground and mini golf.

The apartments will provide you with a TV and a patio. There is a full kitchen with a microwave and an oven. Featuring a bath or shower, the private bathrooms also come with a hairdryer and free toiletries. BBQ facilities are available.

An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including cycling, canoeing and hiking.

Port Owen Marina is 160 km from Cape Town.
