Local Insights

Located away from the main beach buzz but close enough for convenience, this guest house strikes a good balance for visitors wanting both relaxation and access to activities. The short, tricky 18-hole Mashie Course on your doorstep is perfect for casual golfers - no need to pack clubs as you can usually rent them.

Breakfast isn't included in standard rates but can be arranged in advance - the full English-style buffet with fresh fruit is worth trying at least once during your stay.

Exploring Langebaan & Surrounds

The West Coast offers diverse attractions within easy reach:

• Langebaan Lagoon - The turquoise waters are perfect for swimming, kitesurfing and kayaking
• West Coast National Park - Just 5km away, offering spectacular wildflower displays during August-September in the Postberg section
• Beaches - Choose from five beaches: Mykonos, Kitesurfers', Main Beach, Paaltjies and Shark Bay
• Water sports - The area is renowned for kitesurfing, with the lagoon's shallow protected waters ideal for beginners

Bird watchers will appreciate the RAMSAR-listed lagoon with its flamingos, penguins and oystercatchers. Between August and October, Southern Right whales can be spotted in the bay.

Practical Tips

The guest house works well as a base for day trips to the West Coast National Park and the West Coast Fossil Park. Braai facilities are available with most rooms - ideal for traditional South African evenings under the stars.

Minimum stay requirements increase during peak seasons, particularly during December/January holidays and the spring wildflower season in August/September. Advance booking is essential during these periods.

When visiting during winter (June-August), the upstairs rooms with fireplaces offer the most comfort during chilly West Coast evenings.
