AGULHAS COUNTRY LODGE
The southern most tip of the
mighty African continent is only two hours drive from Cape Town and is
the place where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet.
The ruggedness of the area is
mirrored in the name “Agulhas”, meaning “place of needles”. In keeping
with this, the Agulhas Country Lodge is built from local limestone and
blends beautifully into a hill overlooking the spectacular oceans.
|
| The lodge has several relaxation
areas – a cigar lounge, quaint pub with an air force/maritime theme, a
TV room with paintings of shipwrecks, a lounge area and glass clad
balcony with spectacular sea views for whale watching.
The friendly staff who are
very service orientated, take great pride in preparing gourmet country
style dinners which are served in the romantic candlelit restaurant. The
menu which varies daily and is complimented with a selection of South African
wines. The wine list features the southernmost and newest wine region in
the country, right on our doorstep – in the Elim, Bredasdorp, Napier region
of the Overberg. Fresh fish and seafood bought daily at the nearby harbour
in Struisbaai are a specialty and the emphasis of the food is to serve
delicious, honest and local fair, prepared with the freshest ingredients.

|
|
The restaurant also serves
traditional South African cuisine with a modern twist and local organic
venison and pork feature regularly.
Tables are elegant, decked
out in white linen, Carol Boyes cutlery and cut glass crystal but the atmosphere
is relaxed, with fires blazing in winter to add to the romantic atmosphere.
|
| All eight rooms have seaviews
from the balcony, two have direct seaviews and the honeymoon rooms with
their jacuzzi baths and double open showers are very popular. These also
offer views of the varied fynbos and excellent bird life on the property.
Beautiful embroidered percale linen, original art and antique Cape cottage
furniture enhance the homely atmosphere. Four rooms have ¾ twin
beds (two of these are family rooms with 3 beds each) and the other
four have queen size double beds. The honeymoon rooms have an entertainment
centre and mini bar.
|
|
|
All the upstairs rooms have
air conditioners and all rooms have panel heaters.There is a new beauty
salon with a resident qualified beautician to offer massages, manicure-
and pedicures, waxing and all the normal therapeutic treatments.
Swimming at the longest uninterrupted
white beach in southern Africa at nearby Struisbaai is a popular activity
in summer and is safe. Agulhas offers two tidal pools within
walking distance and the second oldest light house is a brisk walk away.
