I stayed here for 4 days and what a lovely, clean and beautifully furnished house with all you need and then some. My son and I had such a relaxing stay. It is positioned in a quiet area close to the beach and close enough to the centre of Hermanus to do shopping and tourist attractions. I would highly recommend this to be your home away from home when visiting Hermanus.
