One of the treasures on the West Coast, is the beautiful bay of Jacobsbaai. This picturesque village has an unspoilt coastline of about 2km with quaint white fisherman's cottages, which add their charm to what has been referred to as "Namaqualand by the Sea" due to the region's flower extravaganza in spring.

The comfortably appointed Baviana Beach Lodge enjoys pride of place at the very heart of Jacobsbaai and it has an excellent combination of self catering accommodation and guest house facilities. With its breathtaking views and situated on the seafront, it would be hard to imagine a finer setting. All four apartments are stylishly furnished with private entrances, braai (barbecue) areas, DSTV and secure on-site parking. Experience true West Coast hospitality, healthy and hearty breakfasts, breathtaking sunsets, wild flowers in season and an amazing variety of seafood.

Jacobsbaai is a fisherman's haven with the azure Atlantic Ocean providing an abundance of seafood like crayfish, hottentot, galjoen, white steenbras and black mussels. You will find fresh crayfish in season, normally from November to January. Hiking trails, nature walks, bird watching and the multiflower extravaganza during spring are all part of the West Coast experience. Golf, sailing, deep sea fishing, underwater diving, horse riding, organised boat trips and romantic sunset cruises can be arranged. Other activities in the area include windsurfing, sailing and canoeing. The hosts of Baviana Beach Lodge, Archibald and Belinda Hanekom, look forward to offering you the warmest of West Coast welcomes and pampering you with their homely, personalised service.
