IN A NUTSHELL
An eclectic mix of traditional stone cottages and contemporary-line boathouses that keep within the strict regulations that make Stanford so charming, the accommodation at Coot Club does nothing to detract from the natural environment. The Boathouses in particular make the most of the magnificent views across the lagoon to the imposing Maanschynkop mountains.
With a nod to the sailing fraternities; the Boathouses, Port and Starboard, are fabulous nautical-themed homes ideal for relaxed holidays on the water. The Stone Cottages retain the charm of a typical stone building tucked into the Milkwood forests with beautiful outdoor seating areas.
Take your pick from the selection below.
Coot Club will close from 01 – 14 June 2024 for a major refurbishment. The Boathouses will reopen on 14 June 2024, and the Stone Cottages will reopen on 01 September 2024 as the new Leeward Quarters. A new Boathouse, Stern, will also open on 01 September 2024.
