Restored Farmhouse on a Hill over Langebaan Lagoon

The Farmhouse Hotel looks down on the Langebaan Lagoon, with easygoing West Coast character, clean coastal interiors and friendly service. Mornings open with the glitter of the water and the boardwalks of West Coast National Park, and evenings end with sunset by the pool and dinner at La Petite Maison. Beach days, birding and the spring wildflowers are all close by.

A charming restored old farmhouse situated on a hill with unbeatable views overlooking the Langebaan lagoon. From the moment one enters the door, you experience the unpretentious and welcoming West Coast hospitality. The rooms are comfortable and perfect for a night's peaceful rest. The in-house restaurant offers an excellent fine-dining menu with a great variety. The traditional afternoon tea and scones are not to be missed! Most beautiful and serene sunsets from the lagoon-facing veranda.

Overview of The Farmhouse Hotel

The Farmhouse Hotel sits in Langebaan on South Africa’s West Coast, overlooking the sheltered Langebaan Lagoon and bordering West Coast National Park.

Location & Setting

The setting mixes whitewashed architecture, fynbos and broad water views, with beaches and walking trails close by. Cape Town is about 140 km away by road, and the Darling Wine Route and West Coast Fossil Park make easy excursions. The waterfront, yacht club and watersport launches are nearby, yet the hotel feels peaceful and suits birding, seasonal wildflowers and sunset-watching across the lagoon’s shifting blues.

Rooms

Many of the 22 rooms look over the lagoon. Lagoon View Rooms come with a shower or with a bath and shower, and the Panoramic Lagoon View units include a two-bedroom option with its own lounge and dining area. Several rooms have a private wood-fired hot tub. Garden Rooms and the simpler Adventure Pads, some with bunk beds, are the plainer options. A freestanding two-story unit sleeps four, with two en suite bedrooms, a kitchenette, a braai and its own hot tub. Wi-Fi is free and uncapped, and most rooms have DStv.

Facilities

La Petite Maison, the hotel restaurant, cooks French food with a West Coast accent and is open seven days a week, and Legends Bar opens to residents from noon. Tea and scones are served free every day. The solar-heated pool sits by the terrace, and indoors there is a lounge, a billiard table and a games room. Kitesurfers get storage and a wash station, and boat owners have parking. A limited number of rooms accept pets.
