Lamberts Bay Accommodation
Lamberts Bay
Lambert's Bay is a popular town with eco-tourists and locals and is just 280 km from Cape Town. This is crayfish country, and Lambert's Bay is well known for seafood delicacies such as harders, galjoen, snoek and the west coast lobster. Popular local, open-air restaurants make unforgettable traditional meals on the beach.
Lambert's Bay was named after a British admiral who charted the coastline between 1826 and 1940. Boat trips provide opportunities to spot endemic Heaviside dolphin, Dusky dolphin, and seasonal Southern Right and Humpback whale. Bird Island, dense with breeding colonies of gannets, penguins, cormorants and seals, provides bird watchers with hours of delight and wetland birds, such as flamingos, pelicans and waders, can be seen at the Jakkals River Lake.
Popular activities include watersports, fishing, sandboarding, and golf and quad bike tours and microlight flights are also available. In spring, wildflowers decorate the surrounding land in a carpet of colour, particularly within Lambert's Bay Nature Reserve. Unique hiking trails in Lambert's bay take one across bare dunes and elephant-like rocks.
Lambert's Bay, a charming fishing town on the Cape West Coast of South Africa, offers a variety of activities and sights that highlight its natural beauty and local culture.
Here are five things to do or see in or near Lambert's Bay:
1. Bird Island Nature Reserve: Visit Bird Island, a significant breeding site for Cape gannets and other seabirds. A short boat trip from the harbor takes you to the island, where you can observe the birds up close, explore the well-maintained boardwalks, and learn about the island's ecology at the visitor center.
2. Elands Bay: A short drive from Lambert's Bay, Elands Bay is renowned for its excellent surfing conditions and pristine beaches. It's also a great spot for birdwatching and exploring the ancient rock art in the nearby Elands Bay Cave.

5. Muisbosskerm Open-Air Restaurant: Experience an authentic West Coast culinary tradition at Muisbosskerm, an open-air restaurant just outside Lambert's Bay. Enjoy a seafood feast cooked over open fires, featuring dishes like grilled fish, mussels, and crayfish, all while taking in stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Why the $elect Stays initiative?
- Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site. - Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity. - Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.

Terms & Conditions
- The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
- Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
- If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving. - The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
- The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
- The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
- The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
