Situated on the corner of Main Road and Optenhorst Street in Paarl, Optenhorst Village is a neighbourhood shopping centre combining convenience and lifestyle, establishing itself as a cornerstone of the Paarl North community. Part of the greater Optenhorst Residential Estate which is situated opposite well known school, Paarl Gimnasium, Optenhorst Village is home to well known South African brands such as Checkers and Dis-Chem as well as other national retailers. The centre offers a vibrant shopping experience in a thoughtfully designed setting that blends into the Wineland landscape and is neighbourhood orientated.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the 7,300m ² retail centre features around 30 shops, with a carefully curated mix of retailers and restaurants. The development honours its heritage as a former farm by reintroducing vineyard elements into the landscaping. Every aspect of the Optenhorst development is interconnected, inviting a walkable, harmonious lifestyle that balances modern convenience with a deep connection to nature. The centre also prioritises environmental responsibility, with the majority of its roof space fitted with solar panels, reducing reliance on the power grid and lowering its carbon footprint.
