As a guest, you are invited to use the hotel’s shallow water jetty which allows easy access to the pleasant waters of the lagoon. The hotel provides complimentary kayaks, canoes and a speed boat for skiing, wakeboarding and water sports, ideal for adventurous couples. If you prefer a more soothing activity, enjoy a sundowner cruise around the lake on the Lady Giselle Pontoon boat.

Head Chef, Kelly-Anne Pietersen ensures the French-Asian fusion cuisine at Benguela Brasserie and Restaurant is prepared to perfection. Choose the alfresco dining option if the glorious weather stays put, otherwise, settle for getting cosy indoors. Either way, Benguela Cove’s award-winning Wines will compliment your dining experience to a tee.
