Amenities
Stunning views, very convenient for the beach and fantastic space. Fully recommend The house is in one of the best locations in Hermanus if you want to be by the cliff path and enjoy the constant noise of the sea, which we do. The house is bigger than it looked in the photos and has everything we wanted and expected. The internal architecture is a little unusual. There is quite a bit of space which had little use but this did not detract in any way. There is a small pool which we found adequate for the odd cooling down, although we swam much more in the sea. We took the opportunity to have housekeeping every day which was very successful. The housekeeper, Frank, was very obliging, energetic and worked to a high standard. His contribution made a big difference to how relaxing our visit was.<br/>We were very happy here and would definitely consider renting it again if we had similar needs in Hermanus, a town and area which we love. This was by far the most incredible air b n b we have ever stayed in !! The house was gorgeous , every single item available to make you feel at home ! The views of the ocean and sunsets were magnificent , the Mountain View’s , th ocean views , every corner you turn was amazing. We had the most relaxing amazing vacation and dealing with the host was a total pleasure. They even put our fresh flowers to welcome us :) hopefully we will be back ! Highly highly recommend All round excellent experience
