Once a barn, this Langebaan ‘longhouse’ is now a simple but luxurious holiday home.

West Coast Bliss

With its breathtaking views of the nearby lagoon and rolling hills covered in lush, colourful succulents, it’s no surprise that Bruce and Nadine Tedder decided to name their holiday home on the West Coast “Panorama”.

Set in the heart of Langebaan, the couple’s home is a rustic gem – they fell in love with its casual coastal appeal and rich history. The double-storey house was once a storage barn on a large wheat farm that was divided into plots which now make up a large part of Myburgh Park.

Nestled between many far more contemporary abodes, this home has a typical West Coast ‘longhouse’ structure with one narrow open-plan space and a thatched roof. “It’s thought to be older than 200 years,” says Nadine. “We can still see the old cow sheds from here, although they’re all dilapidated now.” The farm’s original homestead, situated across the road from the Tedders, is now the popular Farmhouse Hotel.

On their property, Nadine and Bruce have converted a garage into a cottage and added a “playroom” where extra guests can spend the night when need be.
