Imagine a wild open space; a place where the air is clear and filled with the promise of re-discovery.

Now imagine yourself right there, immersed in the magical land that is South Africa’s Namaqua West Coast.

Namaqua West Coast is a place of iconic beauty and evocative names. It is the home of the rieldans and the blikkitaar, of skuit-bakkies on the beach and bokkoms slow-curing under the eaves of Namaqualand’s extraordinary botanical heritage, from the drama of blooming vygieveld in spring to the dwarf succulents of the Knersvlakte.

Visitors who come, love Namaqua West Coast for its rocky coastline and hidden bays, unique arid landscapes, and many outdoor experiences. The carpets of flowers that appear after the rain are a particular highlight.

You can find good food and great wine at many locations, but nowhere in the whole world will you find the hospitality, realness, and great sense of humor of the Namaqua West Coast
