The West Coast
The famous West Coast is truly one of South Africa’s unique pieces of heritage. Inglenook is located in one of the oldest riverbeds in SA – the original Berg River delta, and due to us bordering the West Coast Nature Reserve, is abundant with bird life. The area is all about the beautiful outdoors in summer, and fireplaces, red wine and great restaurants in winter.
Directions
An hour out of Cape Town, up the West Coast road (R27), is Inglenook.
Only 5 mins from the famous stretch of endless white sand known as 16 Mile Beach, and less than 20 mins from the Churchhaven Lagoon inside the West Coast Nature Reserve.
Detailed directions on how to get to the property is provided once your booking is finalised.
