Kite Basecamp Backpackers

Wind-Seeker's Haven in Langebaan

Kite Basecamp Backpackers offers adventurers a laid-back West Coast experience just 200 meters from the famous Langebaan lagoon. This budget-friendly accommodation is a no-frills base for kitesurfing enthusiasts and nature lovers who want to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the area without breaking the bank.

Perfect Position for Kitesurfers

Located within a 2-minute walk from the main kiteboarding beach, this spot puts you right where the action happens. Langebaan is fast gaining reputation as one of the world's best kitesurfing destinations, with consistent winds and flat lagoon waters creating ideal conditions for both beginners and pros.

The backpackers serves as a practical base camp rather than a luxury stay - bring warm clothes as the West Coast evenings can get properly chilly, even in summer months!

Explore the Wild West Coast

• West Coast National Park - just outside town, spectacular for wildflower viewing during August and September
• West Coast Fossil Park - 10 minutes drive away, offering fascinating guided tours of million-year-old fossils
• Calypso Beach - perfect for family outings and swimming in the protected lagoon waters
• Bird Watching - three hides along the lagoon shoreline for observing over 250 species

For those keen on local eats, venture to Die Strandloper for an authentic 10-course West Coast seafood feast right on the beach, often accompanied by impromptu local guitar performances.

Practical Amenities

The accommodation offers basic comforts with complimentary Wi-Fi, BBQ facilities (or "braai" in local lingo), and self-check-in for hassle-free arrivals. Some units are pet-friendly - ideal if you're traveling with your furry mate.

Best suited for travelers who prioritize location and adventure over luxury, Kite Basecamp provides a genuine West Coast experience where the emphasis is on the outdoors rather than indoors. As locals say, "You don't come to Langebaan to stay inside!"
