LAND

AT PLAY ON TERRA FIRMA

  • INCLUDED IN THE RATES:

    Amble along the walking trails through the fynbos, looking for animal tracks; hire a fat bike to explore the sandy pathways and dirt tracks leading to Walker Bay Beach; cycle into Stanford village; sand-board down the dunes on the beach; kick a ball around on the sprawling lawns; play volleyball or boules; or cosy up with a selection of board games, table tennis and table football.

  • AT AN ADDITIONAL COST:

    Take a guided tour by 4×4 to Walker Bay beach and enjoy land-based whale watching from the beach (in season). Hop on the new Coot Club quad bikes for an exhilarating guided drive on the trails (weather and availability dependent)

  • BIRDING & WILDLIFE

    Well known for its wonderful birding (on a single outing the Hermanus Bird Club spotted 97 species on the Klein River in just a few hours!) and whale-watching from Walker Bay beach dunes, there is plenty to discover on walks and strolls around the Coot Club area.

INTO THE DEEP

  • INCLUDED IN THE RATES:

    Several kayaks are available for guest use. With the Maanschynkop mountains your ever-green backdrop, this is the best way to explore the lagoon, silently gliding alongside crested coots and yellow-billed ducks. SUPs are also available for the more adventurous…

  • AT AN ADDITIONAL COST:

    Other marvellous ways to explore the lagoon include wake-boarding, water-skiing and tubing. Sail boats are also available for hire, with rig set-up and motorised rescue support available if required.

  • SWIMMING

    The well-documented therapeutic joy of wild swimming, both into the teal coloured lagoon or the bracing ocean (though be warned, the Atlantic can be fairly wild along Walker Bay beach). There is an on-site swimming pool for those wanting to cool off with more sedate dips.
