Meerhuis Cottage

Beachfront Paradise on Langebaan Lagoon

Meerhuis Cottage offers the quintessential West Coast experience - a charming beachfront accommodation literally meters from the turquoise waters of Langebaan lagoon. The two-bedroom self-catering cottage is perfectly positioned in the quieter residential area toward the West Coast National Park, away from the busier town center.

The Cottage Experience

This private cottage sits behind the main house but maintains unobstructed views of the lagoon. Inside, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge, and two bedrooms with double beds. The attention to detail is evident - from chocolates on pillows to thoughtful kitchen supplies that make self-catering a breeze.

The real magic happens outside, where the patio and terrace provide front-row seats to Langebaan's famous sunsets. Visitors can enjoy a traditional South African braai (barbecue) while watching boats, seals and seabirds against the backdrop of the lagoon's pristine waters.

Location Benefits

• Direct Beach Access: Simply walk down the driveway to reach the shore
• Dual Beach Options: Swimming beaches on both sides of the property

Local Tips

The cottage is best enjoyed during sunny weather to make the most of the outdoor spaces and water activities. Important to note: access to the cottage is via a road that can be partially covered during spring tide, so planning your arrival and departure times is essential. The property shines brightest as a retreat for couples or small families seeking tranquility by the water.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the property serves as an excellent base for exploring the region's natural wonders, including hiking, fishing, windsurfing and canoeing. Golf lovers will appreciate being just 3.6 miles from the Langebaan Golf Course.

The cottage embodies the relaxed West Coast lifestyle - unpretentious, connected to nature, and operating on "lagoon time" where rushing is discouraged and sunset appreciation is mandatory.
