Farmhouse Hotel West Coast

Overlooking the tranquil Langebaan lagoon on South Africa's West Coast in the Western Cape province, the four star Farmhouse Hotel is an experience to be savoured. Cape Town is only a 1 hour and 10 minutes drive away from The Farmhouse Hotel, the distance being 141 km. 

The Farmhouse Hotel Langebaan Lagoon offers guests an authentic coastal farmstead encounter. Alluring to nature lovers, Langebaan offers vivid shows of spring flowers, birdlife and an untamed coastline. Visiors have the opportunity to explore the magnificent lagoon, hike the neighbouring Nature Reserve or simply relax and enjoy the sunset. The farm kitchen at The Farmhouse Hotel bakes fresh bread and other produce daily for the popular restaurant, that serves up hearty meals infused with West Coast culture.

The guest suites, some with their own fireplace and sweeping views of the lagoon, lead to a private poolside garden. The Farmstead is a spacious room with sweeping views, The Loft offers a birds eye view from its open plan refuge, and the separate dual level Cottage is perfect for family getaways.  The Farmhouse Restaurant serves traditional Cape cuisine with a variety of seafood complemented by an award winning wine list. Food is robust and hearty, filled with the spirit of the West Coast.

Defined by its rugged shorelines, coastal vegetation, heritage fishing villages and unpretentious lifestyle, the West Coast still holds an element of the wild unknown. With a tangibly strong culture of fisher-folk who have been the guardians of the land that supports them, their quaint small wooden fishing boats and simple lives on the sea, are qualities that draw visitors from across the globe.

Loved by many, the dramatic coastline, changeable seas, white sandy beaches and cerulean blue skies creep under the skin.  Perhaps the most beautiful of all the quaint villages is Langebaan, with its natural wonders, blue lagoon and azure skies.
