DESCRIPTION:
Discover Mosaic Farm, a place of exquisite beauty, a touch of heaven on earth colored by wildflowers, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets over the lagoon, ancient milkwood thickets, and the majestic Overberg Mountains. We warmly welcome you to our luxury lodge with African simplicity, superb cuisine and activities to embrace the natural wonders of the Cape Whale Coast.
Two hours from Cape Town, Mosaics 2300 acres expand from the Hermanus Lagoon to the secluded Walker Bay Beach, the best place in the world for whale-watching. Join us for unforgettable encounters with 40-ton Southern Right Whales, other marine life, magnificent flora, birds, lagoon wetlands, pristine beaches and an ancient archeological cave. Enjoy kayaking, hiking and guided bird-watching, or savor the wines from our local regions.
Mosaic Farm, stitched onto the edge of the lagoon, is a world that captures the quietude that is the essence of Africa. You will be captivated by the seeming remoteness, the abundant bird life and the unique flora that is literally laid out on a plate for you as you step out of the door. Jane Dunn
