Laaiplek Hotel

The Laaiplek Hotel is situated in the harbour area on the banks of the Berg River. The hotel offers a view best described as tranquil, yet fascinating with an abundance of bird-life and fishing trawlers coming and going in full view. In the mornings you can sit on the hotel patio and watch thousands of birds along the river banks flying out to sea for the day and returning late afternoon to the salt pans for the night.

Area Info

Velddrif is one of the small fishing villages that dot this part of the 'forgotten' West Coast villages; where a visitor is greeted with silence, the space to explore, and where time slows inexplicably. This part of South Africa is one of the few places where one can, almost immediately, feel the pull of an era when time hastened no-one, and only the sea, the wind and the landscape had any effect upon you.
