Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate, Walker Bay, near Hermanus, Western Cape
About Us
Benguela Cove is a luxury wine estate on a Ramsar-listed lagoon in the Kogelberg Biosphere, where wild horses graze the banks and our cellar sits behind the vines. Our twelve Waterfront Villas are graded 5-star Self-Catering (Exclusive) by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa, and our guests expect every room to feel as considered as the view.
