The name Lyngenfjord comes from the Norwegian Cargo Steamer, which sank off our coastline in 1938. Michael and Elza van Lingen, the owners, who recently retired from farming, entertain guests with true Eastern Cape hospitality in a family home atmosphere. ACCOMMODATIONGuests have spectacular, panoramic views of the beach and ocean from the bedrooms, private balconies, both lounges, the dining area and the pool terrace - ideal for whale and dolphin watching. The antique Cape Dutch furniture, from the late 1800’s, complements and warms the spacious rooms. A Fynbos garden surrounds the house, boasting with many plants in this rare and endangered plant group as well as those used for herbal and medicinal purposes. BREAKFAST & DININGAt Lyngenfjord House guests experience many typical South African traditions, especially at the lavish breakfasts and superb dinners. Rare and typical South African dishes are served, including plants enjoyed by the Khoi, thousands of years ago.Vegetarians are at home here. The local calamari, which is considered superior on world markets, fresh fish and venison dishes (Springbok and Blesbok) surprise guests in a new experience. ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIESThe tourist, who normally lives in cities and wishes to break away from a hectic jet-set life, will be pleasantly surprised by the natural beauty of Cape St Francis. The 3 km pristine beach between Seal Point and Cape St Francis, has a healing effect on the soul of the guest, who had to rush through our great country to enjoy and see as much as possible in too short a time. It is safe to swim and Seal Point is a world renowned surf spot. The village is surrounded by four nature reserves. The walkways, clearly marked, present easy relaxing and refreshing walks along the coastline, round our famous historical Lighthouse and more inland through the Irma Booysen Reserve. There are many interesting activities locally (information available on request). Cape St Francis is the ideal base for nearby adventures and outings, which include canal and river cruises, visits to local game parks, as well as Addo and Shamwari, a visit to the Baviaans Wilderness area, the Bread Basket of the Kouga region at Hankey and Patensie, many cultural sites like the Sara Baartman Grave and the Kouga Cultural Centre and the beauty and exhilarating adventures of Tsitsikamma. It is also the ideal stop over to or from the Port Elizabeth Airport, a mere 115 km away.
