Ellefsen Golf Suites

The seaside town of Langebaan, with its quiet blend of old and new, is the most popular place on the Cape West Coast. And, at little more than an hour's drive from Cape Town, it's not surprising. Because this gem of a town offers everything that you could want in a getaway destination... for a holiday... or to put down roots. It's also where you'll find the Langebaan Golf & Country Estate and, perfectly positioned between the 9th and 18th fairways, the beautiful Ellefsen Village with its stylish Ellefsen Golf Suites.

This superb 450-hectare Estate sports an 18-hole championship golf course designed by South African golfing legend Gary Player's Black Knight Design Company. The course flows smoothly over rolling greenlands and offers breathtaking views of the lagoon and surrounding countryside. Book in for a holiday or a business break. Either way you'll be assured of enjoying all the very best that the West Coast has to offer - fabulous golf, myriad water sports, sandy beaches, tranquil lagoon, nature parks and the most dazzling display of spring flowers that you'll ever see... all within easy reach of your own secure and comfortable suite.

The climate here is moderate with almost a full year of sunny weather and safe water conditions. All of which conspire to make Langebaan a Mecca for kite-surfers, windsurfers, kayakers, anglers and yachtsmen. Close by, bordering the southern end of the lagoon, is the 30 000-ha West Coast National Park that is home to flocks of elegant flamingos and a world-famous paradise for birders. There is also game viewing, seasonal whale watching and the award-winning Geelbek Restaurant and tourist centre that make the Park a 'must' to visit. During the spring months of August and September, the flowers burst into bloom giving a display that is absolutely unforgettable and visitors come from far and wide to celebrate nature at her blooming best.

The National Park is also the place where "Eve's Footprint" - one of the earliest proofs of human existence on earth - is said to have been discovered. And the region's ancient history can be further explored by visiting the fascinating West Coast Fossil Park that is situated just outside of town. With its spectacular lagoon, countless water sports, and the fabulous spring flower show, there is no shortage of things to see and do, in and around Langebaan. Which is exactly why renting one of the stylish Ellefsen Golf Suites gives you the chance to 'own' a little piece of paradise... where your daily diary of things to do can be as busy - or as free - as you make it.
