Set directly on the lagoon front in Fisherhaven near Hermanus, Mbizi
lagoon house is a tranquil retreat that speaks to the heart. Here,
nature and freedom blend beautifully and almost any time of day, you
might spot South Africas only wild horse herd wandering past the
terrace or crossing the shimmering lagoon waters. When the water level
rises, graceful flamingos often join the scene, turning the landscape
into a living painting. Just beyond the lagoon lies the vast Atlantic
Ocean, with endless stretches of white sand beach perfect for long
walks, quiet reflection, or simply soaking in the coastal calm.
The house offers space for up to eight guests, combining openness,
