Amenities
Beautiful house by the sea with incredible views. On site lovely guy who looked after us as well as the owner’s daughter and her partner who were so friendly. Fabulous stay. Hermanus is amazing. We walked to the golf course which was our top one in South Africa Awesome, 100-year old family home. Great location right on the water. HUGE house with a ton of space for a big family. Very well appointed. Friendly, responsive management company. And the caretaker Jackman was super. Our only complaints were two things outside of their control: the house next door is under construction (so consider elsewhere for a couple of months?). And the private tidal pool was unusable due to three dead seals next to it (smelly!) and it was full of algae, so a bit gross. Otherwise, a pleasant stay. Kerri

Beautiful spacious home. Couldn’t ask for a better location in Hermanus. We loved whale watching from the patio. Jackman was especially wonderful :-) Highly recommend this house to stay for a big group. Location does not get better what with almost private sea front. Unpretentious beach house feel is perfect for family get togethers. We had 11 in 6 rooms and only one shared bathroom. Definitely it will be our go to place ofr family get togethers in the future.
