| Langebaan
is a smallish town on the edge of the immense Langebaan Lagoon, about 2
hours' drive north of Cape Town on the West Coast. The Lagoon is a water
sports enthusiast’s paradise with wonderful kayaking, fun snorkelling and
some of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing in the world. In summer,
migratory water birds arrive in their thousands from as far away as Russia.
Schaapen Island, in the middle of the lagoon, is bird sanctuary so it’s
strictly off limits, but you can paddle really close to it and watch the
gannets, gulls and cormorants squabbling amongst themselves. The West Coast
National Park borders on the town and sweeps down to the southern end of
the lagoon. It’s a good place for spotting small game but the major attraction
is the colourful spring flowers. |

Calypso
Villas, Luxury Guest Houses, LANGEBAAN
The idyllic setting is everything!!!
Calypso Villas are situated on a fynbos-covered dune virtually 30 meters
from the high tide mark, with just the boardwalk and a few steps between
you and an unspoilt white beach, overlooking the Bay of Saldanha and Langebaan
lagoon. The guesthouses overwhelm guests with its tranquil and serene
sea views – spoil yourself with panoramic sunsets from our licensed bar
or patio. All twelve fully equipped guest suites are beachfront with floor-to-ceiling,
picture perfect windows, which allow for a 180-degree sea view, and have
access to balconies. The astonishing views escalate even further
when you enter the guest suites on the second and third floors - prime
seats during the whale season, or be the first to spot sea-life, the rare
oystercatcher or water sport enthusiasts! |

Puza
Moya Guest House, LANGEBAAN
Langebaan was once home
to the largest whaling station in the Southern Hemisphere, which fortunately
is now no longer in operation! Situated on South Africa's beautiful West
Coast, Langebaan offers the unique waters of the Lagoon and Saldahna Bay
as it's main draw. The warm, safe waters allow windsurfers, Kiteboarders,
Kayakers and fishermen breath taking views and some of the best conditions
in the world!
The town it's self is home
to some very original South African gems, Die Strandloper, Froggies, Pearly's
on The Beach and of course 'Eve's Footprint!' Eve's Footprint was discovered
on the entrance to the Lagoon and is one of the earliest proof of modern
man's or woman's existence on this planet! Over 170,000 years old, this
fossil shows how people have been coming to this town for a lot longer
than we thought! Even a pair of bindings were found close by, so perhaps
she was a wakeboarder! |

The
Farmhouse Hotel LANGEBAAN
Our
gracious hotel sits on the hill above the Langebaan Lagoon on the Cape
West Coast of South Africa. Originally built in 1860 as the Panorama Farm
Homestead, it was beautifully restored in 1992, recreating the original
Cape Dutch farmstead atmosphere. It retains the charm of reed ceilings,
huge fireplaces and outstanding views of the lagoon. The Management
and Staff look forward to offering you the warmest of West Coast welcomes
and pampering you with our homely, personalised service. Our restaurant,
the Panorama, named after the original homestead, offers traditional Cape
cuisine and an excellent wine selection, specialising in wines of the West
Coast and Swartland regions. In winter a crackling fire spreads a
warm glow over the Oregon furniture and high ceilings. |
