Agulhas
Country Lodge - Accommodation in Cape
Agulhas, Western
Cape. Positioned at the most southerly tip of Africa,
this is a beautiful limestone building furnished with antiques and South
African art. The lodge has the air of a remote scottish castle with
original wood fittings rescued from historic properties in The Cape.
In the winter you can sit by a blazing log fire and read about some
of the fascinating shipwrecks that have occured (and are still occurring)
along this notorious stretch of coastline.
