Lady Bonnie
Your Private Pontoon Escape
Experience the tranquility of one of South Africa's largest saltwater lagoons aboard Lady Bonnie, your private pontoon sanctuary. Drift through calm waters with your group, wine glasses in hand, as the stunning Benguela Cove estate unfolds before you—framed by the majestic Kogelberg Biosphere and the distant Babylonstoren mountains.
An Unforgettable Journey
The Lagoon
Bot River Lagoon, one of South Africa's most expansive saltwater lagoons, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a pristine natural sandbar.
Wildlife Encounters
Watch for the legendary wild horses that roam the lagoon banks—descendants of horses left behind by the British Army after World War II. Spot some of the 200+ bird species that call Benguela Cove home.
The Sandbar Experience
Weather permitting, your skipper will land on the white sandbar where you can sink your toes into soft sand and, if fortune smiles, witness pods of whales playing in the ocean waves.
Mountain Views
Marvel at breathtaking vistas of the estate nestled against the UNESCO-recognized Kogelberg Biosphere, the smallest but richest floral kingdom on earth.
A Toast to History
The lagoon holds a fascinating wartime legacy. During World War II, these very waters served as a landing base for British Army Catalina seaplanes. These magnificent flying boats would touch down on the glassy lagoon surface, making Bot River a strategic military outpost.
In tribute to this remarkable history, Benguela Cove created our celebrated Catalina wine—a toast to the brave aviators who once graced these waters. As you sip your wine aboard Lady Bonnie, you're experiencing the same serene lagoon those wartime pilots knew decades ago.
