Agulhas Country Lodge

Nestled against a rocky hillside in the village of L’Agulhas, the lodge overlooks the Atlantic where two great oceans meet by name. The setting delivers big-sky horizons, bracing sea air and easy access to Cape Agulhas Lighthouse and the famous southernmost point marker. Within a short drive, Struisbaai’s long sandy beach offers calm waters, while coastal boardwalks reveal fynbos, seabirds and dramatic geology. The Overberg’s backroads link to farm stalls and wineries, and the region’s maritime weather can bring spectacular winter storm-watching from the comfort of sheltered lounges and decks.

Eight individually styled rooms feature private balconies or terraces facing the ocean. Each offers an en-suite bathroom with shower—some add bathtubs—plus tea and coffee facilities, satellite television and air-conditioning for year-round comfort. Two honeymoon rooms elevate the experience with a jacuzzi bath and double shower. Natural textures—stone, wood and warm fabrics—create a cozy, coastal feel, and thoughtful touches like extra-length beds and quality linens encourage lazy mornings. With intimate scale and attentive hosts, the lodge suits couples, solo travelers and small parties seeking quiet sea views without resort crowds.

Breakfasts and candlelit dinners are served in the on-site restaurant, showcasing local produce and hearty Overberg fare, while the top-floor bar and cigar lounge invite nightcaps beside crackling fireplaces. Complimentary Wi-Fi keeps guests connected, and staff assist with tips for lighthouse climbs, tidal-pool rambles and whale-spotting lookouts in season. Secure parking is provided, and the position makes a convenient base for exploring De Hoop’s dunes and wetlands or tasting along nearby wine routes. When winter fronts roll through, sheltered lounges and two working fireplaces turn storm watching into a highlight.
