Laguna Villa

Laguna Villa is a beautiful four-bedroom Cape Wineland luxury villa, located in the stunning, isolated, 140ha wilderness of colourful Fynbos biome, a stone’s throw from the Kleinriver lagoon with panoramic views of Lagoon and the majestic Kleinriver Mountains. It is the unusual nature of the Lagoon – the fact that it is fed by freshwater from the Klein River but backfilled most years with saltwater from the Ocean when the dunes at its head breach – that explains its unusual ecosystem and which makes it such an extraordinary place to visit.

This ultra-contemporary stylish Cape Wineland luxury villa is adorned with thoughtful touches, tasteful African-sourced artefacts and pictures, an infinity pool and a large deck overlooking the Lagoon and its birdlife, providing a luxurious haven in the heart of nature. The only dwellings in view are those on the opposite side of the Lagoon.

Conveniently situated on the celebrated Garden Route within driving distance of Cape Town, Hermanus and Stanford, Laguna Villa is a peaceful base for discovering some of the Western Cape’s most appealing destinations.

The property offers access to an otherwise inaccessible 18km isolated beach within the Walker Conservancy, boating on the Lagoon, guided birdlife walks along its shores, horse riding and quad biking. For wildlife enthusiasts, encounters with rare species such as caracals and African wild cats amongst the Fynbos are not unlikely.

Whale watching (for which the region is well known), shark cage diving, trips to neighbouring wine estates, mountain biking and golfing are all close at hand.
The delightful town of Standford with its boutique shops, cafes and restaurants is only ten minutes drive, as are several celebrated more upmarket restaurants for the foodie.

The villa is owned by the philanthropically-focussed Perivoli Trust, which dedicates its efforts to conserve natural habitats and improve the quality of education, particularly of nursery school-aged children sub-Sahara Africa. All profits of the House go to these causes.

We look forward to welcoming you to our oasis, where we hope you’ll enjoy not only peace and tranquillity but also take pleasure in the knowledge you are helping to conserve our planet and provide a better start in life to the less fortunate.

This four-bedroom Cape Wineland luxury villa is available for exclusive use and can be rented on a fully inclusive basis or Bed & Breakfast basis. This is a perfect getaway and an oasis of serenity and tranquillity that offers complete privacy on the water amidst the Cape floral kingdom.
