Accommodation

Whale Coast

The Perivoli Lagoon House is set in a stunning, isolated,140ha wilderness of colourful Fynbos biome, a stone’s throw from the Kleinriver lagoon with panoramic views of the Lagoon and the majestic Kleinriver Mountains. It is the unusual nature of the Lagoon – the fact that it is fed by freshwater from the Klein River but backfilled most years with saltwater from the Ocean when the sand dunes at its head breach – that explains its unusual ecosystem and which makes it such an extraordinary place to visit.

The ultra-contemporary stylish villa is adorned with thoughtful touches, tasteful African-sourced artefacts and pictures, an infinity pool and a large deck overlooking the Lagoon and its birdlife, providing a luxurious haven in the heart of nature. The only dwellings in view are those on the opposite side of the Lagoon.

The villa is owned by the philanthropically-focussed Perivoli Trust which dedicates its efforts to conserve natural habitats and to improving the quality of education particularly of nursery school-aged children in sub-Sahara Africa. All profits of the House go to these causes.

We look forward to welcoming you to our oasis, where we hope you’ll not only enjoy peace and tranquillity but also take pleasure in the knowledge you are helping to conserve our planet and provide a better start in life to the less fortunate.

This 4 bedroom villa is available for exclusive use only and can be rented on a fully inclusive basis or Bed & Breakfast basis. This is a perfect getaway and an oasis of serenity and tranquillity that offers complete privacy on the water amidst the Cape floral kingdom.
