An exquisite cottage neatly tucked away in the beautiful, unique setting of Churchhaven within the West Coast National Park.









Just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town, this idyllic beach cottage reveals itself as you pass through the old vintage wooden doors, leading you into the landscape. Spectacular views of the marshlands, typical West Coast vegetation with its warm autumnal hues, and the turquoise waters of the lagoon, with its flamboyant flamingos, create a striking and soothing contrast of colours.
The kitchen features a signature wall dressed in marigold, adding warmth and calmness to the space. The high-pitched wooden ceilings and generous skylights allow light to filter in seamlessly.
As you step outside onto the stoep, a sense of relaxation envelops you as your eyes follow the motion of the flamingos in the water. Whether you’re gently swaying in the hammock or reclining on the comfy outdoor furniture, a tranquil sense of calm suggests you have indeed arrived in paradise.
The house has been consciously designed so that the living and entertaining areas are slightly set apart from the bedrooms but are cleverly connected by a pergola. Four en-suite bedrooms accommodate up to ten guests—ideally six adults and four children.
The bunk bedroom, with its four beds, is perfect for families with children. The outdoor space offers exciting cooking and dining options for everyone. One evening you might be braaing, another you might enjoy a fun pizza night, or simply snack around the table al fresco. One thing’s for certain: most evenings will include storytelling around the fire pit as you watch the moon rise on the horizon and the stars light up the night sky.
The cottage is committed to being "off the grid." Everything you use or consume in energy is generated on-site. There are twenty solar panels, a large array of battery storage, and a back-up generator—more than any other property in the area. Additionally, a borehole provides fresh drinking water.
The most wonderful attribute of Churchhaven as a holiday destination is its abundance of thrilling activities and nature excursions to explore. Whether you’re into sailing, canoeing, swimming, walking, birding, or simply lounging in the hammock with a good book and a cold drink, you will never be short of things to do.

“We’ve just spent three weeks with Leharo’s very own Chef Devin and can honestly say we never got bored of a single meal — he’s a fabulous chef and every menu felt fresh, thoughtful, and delicious. Jeanne is equally wonderful, and her eye for aesthetics shone through everything: beautifully set tables, warm touches throughout the home, and even the Christmas tree decorations. We rented a Villa through them, and the pre-check-in support was superb and truly “360” — from arranging a child minder for our son, to a massage for my wife, to sourcing a treadmill for my workouts, no request felt too big. We love Leharo’s holistic approach, have now stayed for our third winter, Cape Town summer, and can’t wait to return.”
“We had the most beautiful time thanks to the beautiful services of leharo .”

“Jeanne and Devin from Leharo create a dynamic partnership. They are tentative to every single detail, and their passionand experience shine through. I can highly recommend their services. Leharo is truly phenomenal.”
“There are no words to describe the hospitality experience Devin and Jeanne from Leharo have created for us in the past year.”
“The perfect team for an exquisite holiday. Devin, Jeanne and their team took exceptional care of us during our three months stay in Hout Bay. Devin made all our wishes come true during Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Due to his natural talent of creating new recipes we always had a variety to choose from. Devin’s dishes were only topped by Jeanne’s attentive and thoughtful service. She basically read my mind before I even knew what I wanted. Still dreaming of the freshly made warm and crispy cheese sandwich and the ice cold matcha latte in the morning.”
“Fantastic high-end service. Amazing wine knowledge and a great understanding for food and wine pairings.”
“The service of Leháro is outstanding. The style of the chef’s cuisine is very creative, healthy, adaptive to individual needs, and simply delicious – you can tell that he was learning in the best restaurants of Cape Town. But what makes the overall experience so special was the accompanied attentive, friendly, and warm service and the great wines that was selected to make ever dinner perfect. Great power team, 100% recommendation!”
