Coot Club Boathouses

About Coot Club Boathouses

Wake up to uninterrupted views of the Hermanus lagoon and across to the magnificent Maanschynkop mountains at Coot Club – a nature lover's paradise found on a spit in the midst of a milkwood forest, and bordered by the Walker Bay Nature Reserve in the Western Cape. The two recently-built Coot Club Boathouses, Port and Starboard, feature a modern yet understated design with an underlying nautical theme and contemporary architecture.

Each Boathouse is designed to blend seamlessly into its surroundings and in accordance with Stanford’s regulations, which only increases the quaint, charming factor. Both Boathouses offer an open-plan living area that flows effortlessly into the surrounding fynbos, a toasty wood-burning fireplace, and a comprehensive kitchen. The Starboard Boathouse comprises two bedrooms, while the Port Boathouse is suited to larger parties with three bedrooms.

Coot Club Boathouses Setting

Located just beyond the quaint riverside village of Stanford in the Overberg region, this escape promises peace and serenity. Whether guests wish to sit back, relax, and watch the birds go by, or enjoy all the activities on offer, Coot Club offers the best of both worlds. For those interested in activities, there is plenty on offer - slip into the lagoon for a refreshing paddle, or try SUPing, sailing, and kayaking.

If water-based activities aren’t of interest, embrace the exquisite natural surroundings on offer with a guided, or self-guided, nature walk, a visit to Walker Bay Beach, bird watching, or taking part in lawn games. Between July and December, don’t forget to look for southern right whales - as Walker Bay is a Marine Protected Area, they come much closer to shore.
