Our
gracious 4 star country 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 climate in the region is arid and the sea breeze is cooled by the
Benguela current whose cold fertile water supports an abundance of marine
life. The area around the Lagoon (30 000 ha) was proclaimed a National Park
in 1985 and is home to one of the world's largest populations of sea birds.
In summer thousands of waders migrate here.
The
off-shore islands offer safe breeding sites for many species notably the
Cape Gannet and the rare African Oyster Catcher. At certain times of the
year pink-winged Flamingos and graceful Pelicans also visit this haven which
is an ornithologist's paradise.

high ceilings. Enjoy the finest, fresh West Coast seafood – mussels or fresh
line fish, farm style chicken pie, oxtail and a variety of farm fresh
vegetables and salads.

atmosphere.
