Easter is a time of renewal and making memories that last a lifetime. This year, trade the traditional garden chocolate hunt for a coastal safari! Nestled in the heart of the Hermanus wine region, Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate invites you and your little explorers to experience an Easter like no other - where luxury meets untouched wilderness. 

UNESCO Kogelberg Biosphere: Animals of Benguela Cove 

When you visit us, you are stepping into a sanctuary within the world-renowned Kogelberg Biosphere. Often called the "heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom," this area is a biodiversity hotspot. Our location along the Walker Bay shoreline creates a thriving corridor for wildlife.  

A visit to our estate might have you spot South Africa's National Bird, Blue Crane or the pretty pink Greater Flamingo or the tiny hero of the vineyard, the Cape Honeybee. You might even get a snapshot of the some of the last wild horses to roam South Africa. From the slither of a Puff Adder to the graceful leaps of a duiker, the estate is a living classroom where children connect with nature in its purest form.  

April is Earth Month: WWF Conservation Champions 

April marks Earth Month, and as a WWF Conservation Champion, Benguela Cove is dedicated to sustainable practices. By spending Easter with us, you are supporting a business that puts the planet first, ensuring a home for our "Friends and Flowers" for generations to come. 

Join Our Easter Eco-Adventure 

Children join a guided trail through the estate, winding through vineyards and natural surroundings where surprises wait around every corner. Along the way, young Eggsplorers collect colourful eggs, each offering different rewards — from tasty Easter treats to special surprise vouchers.  

A single Golden Egg is hidden each day, and the child who finds it wins a grand prize hamper filled with Easter goodies. At the end of the adventure, every child receives their Easter goodie packet plus any prizes earned on their egg‑collecting journey. 

 
 
Egg colours unlock different prizes:  

• 1 Golden Egg - 1st Prize: a luxury Easter goodie basket (one awarded per day) 
• 5 Blue Eggs - 2nd Prize: 10% off a birthday party at Pirate Adventure Golf  
• 5 Red Eggs - 3rd Prize: free entry to Pirate Adventure Golf for one child (valid for one year)  
• 4 of each remaining colour - Bonus Prize: extra eggy treats  

One important rule: Only collect your share. Eggsplorers must take just their portion based on what's found, play fair, and leave the rest for others to enjoy.
