7 on Meeu

Lagoon-Front Family Retreat

Dating back to 1960, this vintage family home offers a genuine West Coast experience just steps from Sanbaai beach. Originally lit by gas lamps (relics still visible in the bedrooms), 7 on Meeu combines authentic coastal charm with modern comforts.

Location & Layout

Perfectly positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac with the lagoon as your backdrop. It's a mere 2-minute stroll to the beach and walking distance to the Langebaan Yacht Club. The enclosed braai area with glass windows captures the ocean breeze while protecting from the sometimes fierce West Coast winds.

Accommodation

• Sleeps 6 in three bedrooms (two double, one twin)
• Fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher
• Indoor braai/BBQ area - essential for year-round entertaining
• Smart TV (DSTV available at additional cost)
• Large grassed garden ideal for kids
• Ample parking including space for boat trailers

Local's Tips

Visit during August-September to witness the spectacular wildflower bloom across the West Coast National Park. October-November brings whale-watching opportunities. The property sits at the edge of the park, giving you front-row access to one of South Africa's most important bird sanctuaries.

Langebaan's lagoon is divided into activity zones - know which is which before planning water activities. Zone A allows everything from kite-surfing to fishing, Zone B is reserved for non-motorized sailing, while Zone C is strictly off-limits as a private sanctuary.

Nearby Attractions

Beyond the obvious water sports paradise (the lagoon is legendary for kitesurfing thanks to consistent winds), time your visit for the annual Langebaan Mussel Festival held the first weekend of October. With over 70 eateries in town, foodies won't go hungry - the West Coast is renowned for its fresh seafood.

The property's location at the quiet end of town provides a peaceful retreat while still being close enough to explore the town hub with its art galleries, craft breweries, and specialty shops.
