Langebaan Beach Cottage is perfectly located in the centre of the hustle and bustle of the west coast village, Langebaan. The beach, coffee shops, restaurants, bars and grocery stores are all reached with a short walk.

Wildekrans Country House
Wildekrans Country House is a four-star graded farmhouse in the village of Houw Hoek, Elgin Valley, South Africa (Tourism Grading Council South Africa).
Immersed between working farms, and vast gardens that lead to the Kogelberg Biosphere, visitors are ensured of a super country stay.
The extensive contemporary art collection and well-reviewed country meals make this a highly regarded destination.
The tranquil, immersed-in-nature Wildekrans Country House, a historic, Cape Dutch homestead built in 1811, still with its original walls and gables, is situated in the Houw Hoek mountains.
The Blue Mountain Trail
The Blue Mountain Trail is a slackpacking hike along the southern side of the Elgin Valley.
The trail traverses farmlands and the Kogelberg Biosphere mountains offering views of the coastline.
This Slackpacking South Africa route follows the Palmiet River while reaching heights to gaze at the Overberg wheatlands, vineyards and distant Hex River mountains.
The Blue Mountain Trail, slightly shorter than the Green Mountain Trail, a three-night, three-day 45km hike, through an entirely different terrain and fynbos on the southern side of the Elgin Valley, offers similar comfort and scenery, with fewer kilometres and the same generous hospitality.
These are luxury hikes.
The Green Mountain Trail
The Green Mountain Trail is a slackpacking hike around the Groenlandberg, through the fynbos and vines of the Elgin Valley.
Expert guiding, excellent country food and comfort are the cornerstones of this trail experience. This is a bucket list hike for lovers of walking (without packs), fynbos and mountains.
The Green Mountain Trail, a four-day 55km exploration of the best of the Groenlandberg, operated from Wildekrans Country House in collaboration with local Overberg partners, meanders its way around the Groenlandberg’s varying landscapes, ever-changing biodiversity, flora and fauna and breathtaking view, it is one of the top Luxury Slackpacking, South Africa, trails awarded with TripAdvisor’s Travellers Choice year to year.
