Welcome to Port Owen Marina – Your Ideal West Coast Getaway

Looking for the perfect family-friendly escape on the West Coast? Welcome to Port Owen Marina, a peaceful self-catering retreat in the heart of Laaiplek, a charming fishing village located along the beautiful Berg River in Velddrif. Just 150 km from Cape Town International Airport, this hidden gem offers the perfect balance of comfort, adventure, and relaxation — all within easy reach of the city.

Our spacious and well-equipped apartments are designed to make you feel right at home. Many of them include direct access to a shared jetty, so feel free to bring your own boat or water sports equipment if you’re ready to explore the calm waters of the river. Whether you’re in the mood for a sunrise paddle, a quiet fishing session, or simply soaking up the serene river views, you’ll find everything you need right here.

There’s plenty to do without ever leaving the property. Start your day with a fun game of adventure golf, or hop on a bicycle (available for rent on-site) and take a ride around the area to enjoy the scenery. If you prefer being on the water, grab a canoe and glide through the marina’s peaceful waterways. The surrounding nature offers the perfect backdrop for both activity and relaxation.

Fishing enthusiasts will love the convenient access to some of the best fishing spots in the area — cast your line right from the marina! For the kids, our safe and fun playground is always a hit, while the whole family can enjoy a swim in our open-air pool, perfect for both warm afternoons.

Nature lovers and birdwatchers are in for a special treat. The Velddrif area is a haven for birdlife, and the marina provides excellent opportunities to spot a wide variety of local species in their natural habitat.

After a day of adventure, come back to your cozy home away from home. Prepare a meal in your private kitchen, enjoy a family braai, or simply relax on the patio as the sun sets over the water. Whether you’re planning a weekend break or a longer stay, Port Owen Marina has everything you need for a memorable and relaxing getaway.

This is more than just a place to stay — it’s where special moments happen. From splashing in the pool to exploring nature, to sharing stories under the stars, Port Owen Marina is a place for connection, comfort, and unforgettable family time.

We can’t wait to host you and help make your West Coast holiday one to remember!
