Koekenaap is situated in the Lower Olifants River Valley, between the Atlantic Ocean on the West Coast and the Olifants River inland. It is a modest three-hour drive from Cape Town and about 25km from the snoek and crayfish-filled West Coast waters.

Koekenaap is set in a patchwork landscape of farming units. Farmers produce grapes, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, beetroot, pumpkin and a variety of fruit.[2]
