Welcome to Port Owen Marina, the best self-catering accommodation for families on the West Coast. Nestled in the charming original fishing village of Laaiplek along the Berg River in Velddrif, this tranquil retreat is just 150 km from Cape Town International Airport, making it an easily accessible escape from the hustle and bustle. Port Owen Marina offers a delightful blend of comfort and adventure, perfect for families looking to create lasting memories. Most of our spacious apartments feature access to a jetty, allowing guests to bring their own boats and water sports equipment for an exciting day on the water.

Onsite activities cater to all ages and interests. Tee off with some friendly competition at our adventure golf course, explore the picturesque surroundings on a bicycle hired from the resort, or paddle through the serene waters in a canoe. Fishing enthusiasts can cast a line right from the marina, while younger guests can enjoy hours of fun in the playground. Our open-air semi-heated swimming pool is perfect for a relaxing dip, and bird watchers will find themselves in a hotspot for some of the most beautiful avian species in the region.

At Port Owen Marina, we make family holidays unforgettable. Whether you’re soaking up the sun by the pool or exploring the natural beauty of Velddrif, your stay with us promises to be filled with fun, relaxation, and togetherness.
