Accommodation
Zuidste Huisie Cottage is situated in the town of Struisbaai, part of the Langezandt Fisherman’s Village.
Struisbaai is coastal village boasting with the longest continuous stretch of white sand coastline in the Southern Hemisphere. The low shrub-covered terrain bordering the sandy coast is certainly ostrich country and you will still see a good number of these giant birds sharing the land with dairy cattle and merino sheep.
Fishermen settled here more than a century ago and a cluster of their simple thatched houses may still be seen at Hotagterklip, at the entrance to the town. The working harbour often affords the opportunity for colourful photographs of the fishing boats on the azure sea.
