Abalone Guesthouse

Abalone Guesthouse is the perfect place to break away from the hustle and bustle of city life and to experience the luxuries of peace and serenity.

It is situated in Jacobsbaai on the West Coast of South Africa, halfway between Saldanha and Vredenburg. It is a beautiful, quiet seaside village, sometimes referred to as the "Namaqualand of the West Coast". It has a 2km coastline with rocky and sandy bays which edge against a deep-blue ocean.

Only 145km (1½ hours drive) from Cape Town. It is centrally situated to explore the breathtaking West Coast region and its attractions, such as Yzerfontein, Darling, Langebaan, West Coast National Park, Saldanha, Paternoster, St Helenabaai, Velddrif, Dwarskersbos, Elandsbaai and many more. 

Jacobsbaai is a hidden gem. It is the perfect place where you can relax and swim in the Atlantic Ocean, stroll down the beach or just sit and watch the breathtaking sunsets with a glass of wine. There is still lots to do for the adrenalin junkies and thrill seekers, such as surfing, kayaking, crayfish diving, deep-sea fishing, hiking and cycling. Bring your bike and explore our beautiful town.

Jacobsbaai is a fisherman’s paradise with the Atlantic Ocean providing an abundance of seafood like Crayfish, Galjoen, Kabeljou, Snoek, Mussels, Oysters and many more. You will find fresh Crayfish in season. Crayfish may only be caught by snorkelling – no scuba gear may be used.

Flower season in the West Coast is at its peak from August to September annually. During these two months visitors will see a wide variety of flowers on display. 

Jaobsbaai has the effect of bringing one back to the things which are important and lasting in life.

 "Who does not love the sea? The beach is a place of healing and joy. The salt cleanses us and the sun embraces us in its warmth. The ocean heals the heart, mind and soul."
