A table worth the drive
Benguela Cove
Wine and lunch on the Bot River lagoon — the closest estate to the hotel.
15 minutes from the estate
A wine estate on the edge of the same lagoon the golf course looks over — fifteen minutes from the hotel, and the nearest serious table to it. Tasting, lunch, and water on three sides.
How it got here
One of the newest estates on this coast and one of the most ambitious, planted on a peninsula into the Bot River lagoon where the maritime influence is about as direct as it gets in South Africa.
