About Us
Our Tradition Of Exceptional Hospitality
Welcome to Spookdraai Guesthouse L'agulhas
Legend has it that at Spookdraai or Ghost Corner in bygone times a ship had foundered in the bay and only one person, a young woman with beautiful slender hands and the voice of an angel, washed up alive at the bay of Spookdraai.
She managed to find her way to a cave in the mountains just behind where the Spookdraai Guesthouse is situated today, but most unfortunately, having survived drowning, later died there. Her angelic songs can often be heard at night.
Towards the end of the 15th century Portuguese explorers named this of Africa, Cabo das Agulhas’ which means Cape of Needles, not as a result of the treacherous rocks and reefs, but, as their wooden sailing ships rounded the Cape, sailors discovered their compass needles would swing about and they were unable to determine true north from magnetic north. Many a shipwreck is to be found in the area, which led to the building of the lighthouse in 1848.
Spookdraai Guesthouse offers 6 big comfortable en-suite luxury rooms, 5 of which has sea views and one with a vineyard mountain view and each with a private terrace. We have a heated pool for you to enjoy year round, with wonderful views, there also is an elevated view point, great for sundowners and whale watching. At Spookdraai we also planted a small vineyard which is one of the most southern vineyard on the continent of Africa.
Spookdraai is the perfect base to explore all the wonders of the L’agulhas area. A definite first is to visit the southernmost point of Africa and also do a lighthouse tour. One of the best hiking trails starts at your front door at Spookdraai Guesthouse and follows a circular path along ocean and into the hills around the Guesthouse, it’s a comfortable 2 hour hike. Also visit the nearby Elim Wine Farms, Struisbaai Harbour or enjoy fishing charter.
The Guesthouse Manager Marshall and his team will ensure you have a fantastic stay, he can even prepare you dinner and introduce you to many traditional South African and L’agulhas cuisines.
