A mention here too of the outdoor, 100
000 litre heated swimming pool and sundeck. The surrounding
patio has views of Langebaan Lagoon and Saldanha's Bay.
On the third floor, high above all, the rooftop look-out
and conference venue offers comfortable and spacious privacy.
Situated
on the hillside in the Langebaan Country Club area, the
views from Falcons' Rest are magnificent. Being away (1.5km)
from the more noisy elements closer to the beach, the
tranquility is second to none. Early morning birdsong
is usually the alarm clock!
At the Southern end of the sheltered water,
the Wetlands and surrounding nesting grounds and islands
are a proclaimed Ramsar Site by virtue of the numbers
and variety of waders, migrants, vagrants - a Birder's
paradise.
Hiking trails, bird, game and whale watching
can be arranged with local specialist guides. Water sport:
windsurfing, canoeing, fishing, sailing, leisure boat
trips are all available nearby. Don't forget to visit
the West Coast Fossil Park.
Jenny
and her staff will gladly organise a varied itinerary
for you and cater, in-house for picnics, special occasions:
such as birthdays, anniversaries, office and business
functions, movie set shoots, braais, etc. Special dietary
requirements are catered for.
From the end of July (dependent on rains
and sun) the flower season adds another dimension of beauty
to the scenery. First the tiny blossoms appear - these
can only be spotted when on foot. They are followed by
a myriad large white daisies, then merging clouds of yellow
and orange, blue, mauve and cerise. Should the rains fall
and the sun shine consistently, veld flowers continue
to bloom well into October. During this period, the semi-desert
West Coast region resembles verdant English Countryside.
One glance at the Lagoon and imagination transports one
to Scotland, the Lake District or an idyllic Greek Island.
Falcons' Rest has hosted business people
from over the world. We take care of the small things
and the big things : food, snacks, laundry, email, faxes,
etc. The private, comfortable and lounges with honour
bars, are ideal for informal business meetings. The rooftop
conference venue ensures privacy or unsurpassed, panoramic
lagoon view.
