Cape St Francis Accommodation / Lyngenfjord House Cape St Francis Accommodation / Bed & Breakfast Cape St Francis

Lyngenfjord House is a 4 star Bed & Breakfast situated in the quiet “green” village of Cape St Francis at the most southern point of the Eastern Cape.

ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES

The 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.
