Embark on an experience of a lifetime, and discover the Cape West Coast Peninsula, a region celebrated for its unique people and extraordinary places.
Just 100km from Cape Town nestles the picturesque village of Langebaan. The Langebaan Lagoon is one of South Africa’s greatest natural wonders: a saltwater lagoon nourished by the sea, and not by a river. Experience the tranquility, relaxation and endless summers on its beaches. Nature-lovers from all over the world come to view the over 300 species of birds found in the West Coast National Park, as well as the magnificent array of flowers during Spring. Sports enthusiasts enjoy a wide variety of water sports, cycling, golf and more.
Paternoster is a historic and peaceful fishing village bordering the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve, where the last manned lighthouse of South Africa can be viewed. Whales and dolphins are regular visitors. Admire the strong fisherman architecture, while enjoying a relaxing stay accompanied by stunning sunsets and exquisite seafood cuisine.
South Africa’s largest natural bay can be found in Saldanha, whilst St Helena Bay is not so much one bay, rather a collection of 18 stunning bays. Come, relax ,explore and leave your footprints in these pale golden sands…
Vredenburg is the business and administrative hub of the region while Hopefield is known for its spectacular displays of wildflowers in an and around town, as well as for the fossil deposits, which can be seen at the Fossil Park.
The West Coast is a region of contrast and beauty, and famous for its authentic and soulful people; unpretentious and down to earth – an all year living monument. With so much to offer, we invite you to experience our rich cultural heritage, and treasure the lingering memories of a unique people and place experience.
