Farmhouse Hotel: Our full report

The Farmhouse Hotel is an old renovated farmstead located in the quiet seaside town of Langebaan, 134km's from Cape Town. It is located up on a hill with uninterrupted views of the tranquil Langebaan Lagoon.

The Farmhouse Hotel has a total of 16 rooms, most with lagoon views. These vary from the simple Travellers Rooms through to the more luxurious Superior Rooms.

The hotel has a relaxing lounge with a selection of books to sit and enjoy and it's also a wireless hotspot where you can catch up with the outside world on your laptop whilst enjoying a drink.

There is a spa where you can enjoy a selection of treatments with an internationally recognized therapist.

Outside in the garden is a pool, surrounded by wrought iron sun loungers and sun umbrellas, where you can relax and enjoy the views of the lagoon.

From the Farmhouse Hotel you can enjoy boat trips on the lagoon, or go for walks in the nearby West Coast Nature Reserve. Visit Kraalbaai or Churchaven, two peaceful little fishing villages also within the Nature Reserve.

During August and September this area bursts into colour with the wild flowers that appear after the rains and the Farmhouse Hotel is an ideal place to base yourself and explore this amazing spectacle.
