Excellent value and location

The fireplace made the suite feel so cosy. Loved the wine selection and the vast open spaces.

Accommodation Description

Draaihoek Lodge offers eight thatched-roof luxury suites, each designed to provide guests with a private and elegant retreat along the West Coast. Overlooking the expansive reserve and nearby dunes, each suite features a king-size bed with crisp linen, a sandstone fireplace in the lounge, and an en-suite bathroom with a shower and heated towel rails.


The interiors are styled in soft, earthy tones that reflect the natural surroundings. Each suite opens onto a private patio, perfect for quiet mornings or sunset views. A mini-fridge, tea and coffee-making facilities, and daily housekeeping add convenience, while the absence of a television encourages a true break from the noise of daily life. Guests staying in the suites have access to the lodge's solar-heated pool, fine-dining restaurant, and wine cellar. Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a solo reset, or a nature-based break, the suites offer seclusion with refined simplicity.

Setting Description

Draaihoek Lodge is set on a private nature reserve between Elands Bay and Lambert's Bay, on a quiet stretch of the R27. The lodge borders a 5-kilometre stretch of untouched beach and offers panoramic views across the reserve, known for sightings of eland, bontebok, springbok, and prolific birdlife.


The setting is ideal for slow walks, photography, birdwatching, and beachcombing. The surrounding West Coast is known for its windswept beauty, wildflowers in spring, and rich biodiversity. Whether lounging beside the pool or exploring the nearby coast, guests are immersed in the rhythm of the land and sea.
