A picturesque escape that will take your breath away. Agulhas Country Lodge is situated at the tip of Southern Africa, two and a half hours outside Cape Town. The owners are dedicated to bringing you historical relics from the past. The unique looking lodge was constructed from old Oregon pine windows and doors that were bought at an auction from an old asbestos mine built in the Kalahari in 1888. An old hotel dating back to 1912 which was situated close to the mine provided timber lintels, doors and windows too. The bar counter was the old town's bank counter and the windows in the passage originated from the Koegas prison.
Beautiful views complete the picture. There are spectacular sea views from almost every vantage point in the lodge making whale spotting from the months of June to December easy. Flamingos spend time in the shallow waters nesting and with beautiful sunsets across the ocean there is no lack of impressive sites to see. Guests have said that they feel like they are the only ones on the planet when staying at the lodge. Peaceful and quiet, the lodge is a perfect place to escape the city bustle and enjoy the beauty of Southern - most Africa.
The surrounding area has an assortment of fun activities to keep anyone busy. Stunning hiking trails, bird watching, 4x4 Landrover beach safaris through the Auglhas National Park where you can see rare birds, shells and ancient archaeological sites dating back 10 000 years.
