Lagoon Haven House is a lovingly restored home away from home, nestled within the serene Meerenbosch Estate in the tranquil Middlevlei Nature Reserve. It invites guests to slow down and soak in its quiet charm, airy interiors, and effortless connection to nature. Just a three-minute stroll (or 360 barefoot steps) from the lagoon and beach, it's the perfect base for peaceful mornings, lingering beach walks, and cosy evenings by the fire, all just a short drive from the lively bustle of Hermanus.
Lagoon Haven House is a lovingly renovated holiday home with a charming farmhouse feel and a personality all its own. Designed to make any stay truly exceptional, it comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests, making it ideal for families or friends. The house features four snug en-suite bedrooms, each fan-cooled for comfort, plus a dedicated bunk room perfect for the kids. Full of delightful character, it has been carefully updated and furnished for sumptuous comfort. Here, being barefoot or curled up on the comfy couches with feather scatter cushions feels equally indulgent. From wooden beams to sunbeams, every detail invites you to relax, with exquisite Hertex fabrics and rugs, luxurious 500 thread count linen, beautiful wine glasses, and quality chef's knives, truly making this comfort at its finest.
The spacious open-plan living areas effortlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces, inviting relaxation and merriment in the lounge with its adjoining covered entertainment area. For those who love to cook, the large, fully equipped kitchen and scullery are a home cook's dream. Guests can enjoy the warmth of an inside fireplace, the aromas of a covered wood fire braai, a convenient gas braai, or an outdoor braai, perfect for any occasion. The property also boasts a charming farm-style swimming pool (please note that there's no net), a wood-fired hot tub for ultimate relaxation, and a comfortable fire pit outside, perfect for gathering around.
