Mosaic Private Sanctuary is set amongst a landscape of supreme natural beauty, close to Hermanus at the point where the fragrant fynbos meets the dunes of the famous Cape Whale Coast.

Just outside the village of Stanford, a 2 hour drive from Cape Town and 30 minutes from Hermanus, Mosaic offers two styles of accommodation. Lagoon Lodge comprises 5 safari-style suites, each with a private deck for wonderful mountain views, a fireplace and rustic bathroom with large bath and indoor and outdoor showers.

Guests can mingle in the cosy lounge and there is also a heated plunge pool. Alternatively, there are 3 self-contained cottages, sleeping from 2 to 12 people, each with a kitchen, patio and barbecue. Lagoon Café, set in the historic 1892 Spookhuis, cooks up all sorts of treats, including Southern-style barbecue fare, reflecting the Tennessee heritage of Mosaic’s owners.

Rain Milkwood Spa offers a range of soothing treatments or explore the grounds and neighbouring beach and nature reserve on quad bikes or mountain bikes. Lagoon cruises, kayaking and guided nature walks can be arranged, and nearby Walker Bay is one of the best places in the world for whale watching.
