Peaceful boutique stay in the centre of Hermanus

Spacious suites, tranquil gardens and walkable access to the famous Cliff Path.
Peaceful and surprisingly quiet despite the central location.

We offer 5 en-suite units which are spacious and stylishly decorated.  The units all face the garden with an inviting pool.  Also on the premises is safe parking and vintage bicycles to use for free. 

We operate on a room-only basis, allowing guests the freedom to explore the many excellent cafés, bakeries and restaurants located within easy walking distance of the property. Hermanus is well known for its vibrant food scene, with breakfast options to suit every taste just around the corner.  While a microwave and toaster are available for warming light meals, cooking and meal preparation are not permitted. Braai facilities are not available.

Units can be booked individually, but are also ideal for groups, families or couples retreats.

Added to our portfolio is a stunning retro self catering unit in the apartment block across the street from the guesthouse (not on the same property!).

  • My favorite Airbnb

    A perfect stay! Maybe my favourite Air BnB I’ve stayed in. It was so clean and they had thought of every little detail. A beautiful stay and would come back in a heart beat!
