The first lap belongs to the swans.
Step outside and the ponds are already awake: black swans on the water, ducks in the reeds and birds moving through the garden.
Longacres, Langebaan
Roam wild. Rest easy.
A character-filled garden room on a working smallholding, where black swans cross the ponds and the day moves at country pace.
26 Strand Road / Longacres
Where the wild things settle in.
Wake to black swans tracing the ponds, ducks and chickens in the garden, and a weaver colony stitching hundreds of intricate nests above the water. Beyond the courtyard, horses and sheep give the smallholding its easy country rhythm.
Your room is private, character-filled and made for slow mornings: twin beds, a wood-burning fireplace, a compact kitchen, a private bathroom, a dining nook and doors that open straight into the garden.

Between lagoon and wildflower country.
Black Swan Rest keeps the countryside close and the best of Langebaan within easy reach.

Langebaan Lagoon
Salt-bright water, calm mornings and long blue horizons make the lagoon the natural centre of a Langebaan day. Walk the shoreline, watch the sails or simply find a quiet patch of sand.
