Where lagoon life meets barefoot luxury. This relaxed retreat is ideal for families or friends, with three bedrooms (two en-suites gazing over the water, plus a cozy twin). The open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen spill out onto lawns, fynbos, and the shimmering lagoon beyond. Vaulted ceilings flood the space with light, while a wood-burning fireplace brings warmth and charm on winter nights. Simple, soulful, and endlessly inviting.

Set in a part of the world of unimaginable beauty – with huge star studded skies, velvet Mountains, a huge expanse of lagoon teaming with birdlife. This region in the Western Cape of South Africa is a botanical treasure chest, part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the smallest but most biodiverse of the world’s six floral kingdoms. The Coot Club is Set in amongst this exquisite backdrop and has been carefully and cleverly designed so as to celebrate the landscape and offer a range of beautiful escapes in either the modern boat houses  (Port, Starboard and Stern) or the more classic stone houses Lawns, Leeward Large, Leeward Suites, that are cleverly placed so that you feel like you are all alone in this magestic landscape.

Surrounded by all the opportunities for active outdoors adventures you have watersports such as skiing, sailing, kayaking and swimming as options on the lagoon, 2 beautiful pools to dip in and out of, quad biking, tennis and hikes on the property as well as in Fernkloof in Hermanus mountains are all right there for you. Or maybe a thoroughly sophisticated game of bouille or croquet is more your speed or a yoga practise on the lawns facing the lagoon and breathtaking mountains is what will get your Omm on.

Whatever it is – birding, whale watching, or even just a well deserved opportunity to carefully study the inside of your eyelids, Coot Club has you covered. With so much to explore you may find it hard to tear yourself away for explorations of the landmarks such as Grootbos, Stanford with her restaurants, art, Saturday morning markets, Lady Stanford river cruises and even a frozen margharita to top it all off. Chat to us and we will help you craft a time away that is so special in this incredibly special place.
