Perivoli Lagoon House

A Luxurious Lagoon-Side Retreat in the Heart of the Overberg

Perched on the banks of the Klein River Lagoon, this exclusive 4-bedroom villa offers an extraordinary escape just 2 hours from Cape Town and 30 minutes from Hermanus. Set within a 140-hectare private reserve in the Walker Bay Conservancy, the property provides unparalleled privacy with panoramic views across the lagoon and mountains.

The ultra-modern villa accommodates up to 8 guests in sophisticated luxury, perfectly blending with its natural surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling glass, an expansive deck and heated infinity pool maximize the breathtaking setting while maintaining an intimate atmosphere ideal for families or friends seeking quality time together.

Unique Experiences for Every Season

Winter charm: Despite the Western Cape's winter rainfall (May-August), the property remains magical year-round. The heated pool, wood-burning fireplace, and cozy underfloor heating transform it into a perfect winter retreat. Temperatures rarely drop below 12°C, making outdoor activities still enjoyable.

Summer splendor: From November through March, the warm weather makes this an ideal base for exploring nearby beaches and enjoying sundowners on the expansive deck.

Authentic Overberg Experiences

• Whale watching: From June to December, the coastline becomes one of the world's premier whale-watching spots. The nearby Hermanus Whale Festival (late September/early October) is particularly special, but staying at this secluded property means enjoying the spectacle without the crowds.
• Cape Floral Kingdom immersion: With 9,600 species of fynbos surrounding the property, guided walks reveal the smallest wonders of the world's most diverse plant kingdom.
• Birding paradise: Over 140 bird species frequent the area, including flamingos and the rare Cape Sugarbird. Early morning guided walks offer the best viewing opportunities.
• Walker Bay beach excursions: Access to 18km of isolated beach provides a true wilderness experience rarely found elsewhere.

Practical Tips

Book at least 2-3 nights to truly appreciate what's on offer - many guests regret not staying longer. For families with children, the property offers specially designed activities like scavenger hunts and outdoor adventures.

The villa can be booked with full catering (recommended for special occasions) or self-catering. For wine enthusiasts staying four or more nights, ask about the exclusive wine experience with a renowned South African cellar master who provides private access to elite estates in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.

Regional Connections

Use this as your base to explore the Overberg region. The quaint riverside town of Stanford is just 10 minutes away, with Saturday morning markets and antique shops. The Hermanus wine route offers world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay tastings without the crowds of Stellenbosch.

For the more adventurous, Gansbaai is nearby for shark cage diving and marine safaris. Helicopter transfers from Cape Town can be arranged for a truly spectacular arrival experience.
