THE FISHING CABIN

This is a magnificently isolated rustic cabin nestled in the dunes overlooking the pristine De Mond Nature Reserve coastline. It is surrounded by 600 hectares of un-occupied fynbos and milkwood thickets offering fantastic walks and mountain bike rides for nature enthusiasts. A 1km walk through the dunes will take you to a long isolated stretch of beach that boasts some of the best surf fishing in the Western Cape.

The Fishing Cabin is situated on a private farm, Vogelgezang (which means “Birdsong”) which borders the De Mond Nature Reserve. The farm is 20kms from Bredasdorp, between Arniston and Cape Agulhas (Southernmost Tip of Africa) and only 2hrs drive from Cape Town.

“De Mond”, the mouth of the Heuningnes River, is a very well recognised salt-water fly and bait fishing estuary.
