“We had the most wonderful experience at Coot Cl “We had the most wonderful experience at Coot Club. From the moment I arrived, every member of the team made me feel truly cared for. The staff were exceptionally friendly, kind, and always eager to assist – from the cleaner right through to the general manager. No request ever felt like too much, and I was served with genuine warmth and attention at every turn. It’s rare to come across such consistent kindness and care across all levels of service. Coot Club is a gem, and I’ll definitely be returning.”

Hearing this fills our hearts. Here at Coot Club, it’s not just about adventures, it’s about people, warmth, and creating a place that feels like home every time you visit. ♥️

Every day is Garden Day when your backyard is 464 Every day is Garden Day when your backyard is 464 hectares of wild fynbos. 🌷

Right now, the veld is bursting with colour, and the best part? We never have to buy flowers for the clubhouse or guest rooms, we simply wander out and pick our own.

This Garden Day weekend, we have the privilege of spending it with Annalize Loubser, a woman whose story feels straight out of a fairytale. From becoming a Royal Gardener to a member of The Royal Household, working for Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and even attending The Queen’s Christmas Ball, Annalize’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

Now, she brings her passion and expertise to Coot Club, where her love for gardens meets the wild beauty of the Overberg. Together with Ella, our Head of Conservation, and Jane, who lovingly harvests the fynbos blooms that fill our rooms, they make sure every corner of Coot Club celebrates nature in full colour. ♥️

When the flamingos arrive, our waters turn into a When the flamingos arrive, our waters turn into a canvas of soft pink hues. 🦩 

Every year, billions of flamingos make their way from across Southern Africa to the Klein River Estuary, drawn to the shallow, nutrient-rich waters. Watching them arrive, feed, and move together is truly a front-row seat to one of nature’s most incredible spectacles.

Over 30 hours, the estuary blooms with Spirulina algae, a superfood that gives the flamingos energy for their long journeys ahead. For the next five months, we’re lucky enough to watch them wade, splash, and dazzle, a living, pink reminder of the beauty and resilience of nature.

When the rains come, the flamingos set off on their 2,000 km journey to Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Pans, sometimes covering 600 km in a single night. How they know when to leave remains one of life’s little mysteries, but it’s awe-inspiring to witness.

Flamingo season is a gentle reminder to pause, watch, and be present. It’s moments like these that make Coot Club feel like a place where curiosity, wonder, and nature come together, and we can’t wait for you to experience it too.

From June to November, humpback whales visit our waters, migrating from the icy Antarctic to mate, calve, and feed in our warmer seas. Watching them breach, tail slap, or spyhop is a reminder of the incredible scale and beauty of nature.

At Coot Club, the landscape is always full of surp At Coot Club, the landscape is always full of surprises. One of the most extraordinary discoveries on our property has been the Disa hallackii, a rare and endangered orchid that is seldom seen in the wild. 🌷

Endemic to South Africa’s coastal lowlands, the Disa hallackii grows in sandy flats, stabilised dunes, and rocky outcrops, habitats that are fast disappearing. With fewer than 1,000 mature individuals left in the wild, it is considered Endangered. Its survival is tightly linked to fragile ecosystems and specialist pollinators, which makes it especially vulnerable to threats like urban expansion, invasive species, and habitat loss.

When we stumbled upon this incredible plant, we knew its story needed to be told. We invited an artist who specialises in botanical illustration to stay with us, immerse herself in its setting, and bring its fragile beauty to life on paper. The result is a breathtaking artwork that captures the orchid in ways that few will ever get to see in person.

While you may not encounter the Disa hallackii yourself during a stay at Coot Club, you can take home its story. Limited edition prints of the artwork are available for purchase through us, with all proceeds directly funding our conservation work – helping us continue the search for, and protection of, rare natural spectacles like this one.
It’s a reminder that sometimes the smallest, most delicate wonders of nature carry the greatest importance, and that every effort to protect them counts. 🌱

Every year from June to November, the waters off o Every year from June to November, the waters off our coast transform into a nursery as Southern Right whales make their way here from the icy Southern Ocean. They travel thousands of kilometers to our warmer, calmer bays – the perfect place to breed, calve, and raise their young.

Mothers are often spotted close to shore with their calves at their side, teaching them how to surface, breach, and navigate the waves. These tender moments between moms and calves are some of the most heartwarming sights of the season.

For guests at Coot Club, this is more than just whale watching - it’s a chance to witness one of nature’s great migrations up close, from the comfort of your own front-row seat.

Here at Coot Club, the kitchen isn’t just where Here at Coot Club, the kitchen isn’t just where the food is made - it’s where the heart of the whole place beats. The chefs share a bond that goes far beyond chopping and stirring. They move around each other with the kind of ease that only comes from trust, laughter, and countless meals made side by side. Each one has their own style, one might be a quiet perfectionist, another a bold experimenter, but together they create dishes that feel like home.

They cheer each other on during the rush, swap secret ingredients like treasures, and celebrate small victories like the perfect flip of a pancake. Their bond is more than teamwork; it’s a friendship sprinkled with inside jokes, late-night recipe brainstorming, and the joy of knowing that every dish they send out carries a little piece of that love.

In the end, what makes Coot Club so special isn’t just the food on the table - it’s the chefs in the kitchen, bound together by passion, kindness, and a shared delight in feeding people well.
