Salt Air. Soft Light. Simple Living.
Welcome to Yellowwood Cottage
Nestled on the edge of the Langebaan Lagoon in one of Churchaven’s most private settings, Yellowwood Cottage sits quietly as part of the natural landscape. Surrounded by fynbos and built with soft tones and natural materials, the cottage blends in effortlessly with its surroundings. Inside, textures like camphor wood, screed floors, and rattan ceilings are paired with contemporary furniture, warm lighting, and quality linens—offering an authentic charm that feels both grounded and refined.
The Cottage
Yellowwood Cottage is a peaceful, off grid retreat in Churchhaven, a secluded hamlet of fisherman’s cottages on the shores of Langebaan Lagoon within the West Coast National Park.
Nestled among coastal fynbos and kissed by salty breezes, it offers the perfect slow living escape where days unfold gently and nature sets the rhythm. Guests can spot flamingos in the shallow waters, follow tortoise trails through the fynbos, wander among spring flowers, or enjoy walks on the sand.
Life here slows down with leisurely dips, birdwatching, fireside board games, or verandah moments where the views are as captivating as the company. It is a place to stay, pause, breathe, and savour, a chapter to reconnect with nature, loved ones, and life’s simple pleasures.
Churchhaven is a small, private community set within the West Coast National Park, just 90 minutes from Cape Town. Surrounded by untouched fynbos and set along the calm waters of the Langebaan Lagoon, it offers a rare sense of stillness and seclusion. A protected environment, it invites a slower pace, quiet walks, and time spent close to the water.
