Langebaan Online Accommodation offers self-catering accommodation in a lovely coastal town

The tranquil town of Langebaan, situated on a huge lagoon on the West Coast of South Africa has a fascinating history going back hundreds of years that includes the Khoikhoi Strandlopers, German, French, Dutch, English, Afrikaans and even an American Civil War connection.

The town is about 75 minutes’ drive from Cape Town and boasts some of the best kitesurfing in the world, particularly over the summer months of November to February, with international and local kite surfers enjoying the daily southeaster.

From March, the quiet lagoon beaches and town provide a relaxing atmosphere for a quiet break. Kayaks, surf skis, surfers, paddle boards and all sorts of water sports take place on the lagoon throughout the year. And of course, Langebaan is a perfect base from which to explore the world-famous west coast and Namaqualand wildflower display from the middle of August through to the end of September.

  • Birds, beach and beauty ♥

    The unit is exceptional! I particularly like the idea on the plumbing and the lighting especially the three lamps suspended overhead the nook next to the microwave, creates an ambience when all other lights are turned off. The unit itself has the rustic finish and feel to it which makes it all to comfy and allows you to forget about the rat race beyond the perimeter.

  • We really enjoyed our stay at Red Bishop. It is a beautiful apartment with an eye for details. It is a perfect spot for families and friends to relax and share some moments on the terrace. We will definitely come back one day.

Anyone for coffee? A guide to Coffee in Langebaan

Coffee! A few years ago Juanita and I were drinking pure chicory. Imagine visiting us and having to politely say "thank you" for the cup of 'coffee' we served. Well, we have come to enjoy the real thing and even invested in a semi-automatic coffee machine a while back. We even have a perfectly working Breville manual coffee maker which we picked up for R250.00 at the monthly Catholic boot sale in...
