Slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life – Coot Club is all about hitting the reset button and spending quality time with family and friends. Set on 464 hectares of a private nature reserve, the property overlooks the tranquil lagoon waters of the Klein River, sandwiched between a green mountain backdrop and Walker Bay beyond. Whether you’re looking to relax in nature, get active with paddle boarding, cycling, kayaking, swimming and walking, or explore the wonderful food and wine of the local Stanford area, there’s something for everyone. Not to mention having close access to whale-watching trips in season (Jun to November). Accommodation comprises a mix of charming stone cottages and contemporary boathouses, each unit is designed to accommodate couples, families or multi-generational groups. Meals are flexible and informal, served in either the main restaurant or al fresco where weather allows. Whether it’s gathering around a campfire for sundowners, on the lawn for wood-fired pizza or a picnic on the beach, mealtimes are memorable and celebrate the good life.
