We had a wonderful stay at the villa. Michelle and Corné were amazing hosts and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. There were a few hiccups but Corné and Michelle immediately assisted with getting things sorted. <br/>The house is big and very well equipped, the rooms are lovely, kitchen has everything you need and nice big garden and pool. There are just 2 things that was a bit disappointing: we're Braai people, and although there is an outside gas braai which works great, we missed a wood fire, but worth mentioning is that there is a great fireplace inside. Also, I would advise getting a lockbox to place the key in when checking out. <br/>But, all in all, we really enjoyed our stay and can recommend it with pleasure!! Lovely spacious property in one of the most peaceful neighbourhoods in Hermanus. Close to the beautiful Fernkloof Nature Reserve and the various hiking paths in the area and an easy walk to the famous cliff path. The house provides ample room for larger groups or families with lots of private areas (inside and outside) to relax. Lorraine

Stunning house and garden, stylishly furnished and equipped. Very comfortable with all the amenities you need. We were so relaxed there, that we did not leave the house the whole weekend. Ideal for our multi-generational family get together. A windy weekend in Hermanus, but was more sheltered there, then on beach front, so we were able to enjoy the pool and garden. Jacuzzi was not operational for our stay. Michelle and Corné were responsive and flexible, thank you.
