Hamewith Penthouse - Seafront Views
We had a lovely few days in this apartment, views were spectacular and the living space was great for spending time watching the whales. Would recommend to anyone visiting Hermanus. 2 min away from lovely restaurants.

*Self-Check in - Whale Watching Paradise -Central*
We really enjoyed our stay. It was very, very close to everywhere we wanted to go (walkable). It could have been cleaner. The top levels in the kitchen area were not cleaned at all, but I only noticed because I am two meters tall and like to put things down on my eye level! As others pointed out, the fridge is very noisy. All in all, a great experience.

Seaside Serenity: Marine Terrace Retreat
Such a lovely, homely appartment close to everything and the bonus of course a stunning view!! Very friendly host and check in instructions. Easy to reach the cliffpath to walk along the ocean and to town. We can highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Hermanus.

Seafront@ The Birkenhead private pool - Inverter
This is one gorgeous home and getting to experience the views from the patio in real life is something else! It’s apparent that the owners make full use of their wonderful property as it’s very well stocked! Lying in bed hearing the ocean is sublime! Loved how we could simply walk everywhere and there is also a fabulous coffee shop called Oskar’s 100m away which we frequented regularly during our stay! Would recommend this home in a heartbeat!

Whale Song
What an incredible location with the greatest views. Lovely Hermanus never seems to fail. Array of restaurants to choose from on your door step.

17Marine/Apt.101a/Sea-Facing/Inverter/BBQ/Parking
Always a pleasure to return to 17 Marine. We are already planning the next one. We love this stunning home which overlooks the ocean. The location is perfect and the ocean view is next level. Thank you again to our lovely host, we had yet another amazing experience.

Waterfront house rentals

Luxury beach house an hour from Cape Town
Eva’s house is right on the rocks where you can even hear the local seals calling. The house is decorated to the highest standard by someone with a great love of art. Unfortunately, during our stay it was quite windy and we were not able to utilise the outside areas as much as we wanted, but I do think that this house would be very cosy and beautiful even in winter.

Sea La Vie at 18 on Fourie Beach
The house was clean and well kept. It was alovely home away from home and within walking distance from the beach. Will definitely recommend 👌🏻

Xairu: 3 bedroom seaside gem on Walker Bay
We had a great stay. The house was quiet, comfortable, clean, and right beside the ocean with the most incredible sunsets.

Birdsong
Affordable big home on a bird sanctuary. Perfect for a family get together.

The Ocean Villa - beachfront home
Perfect house for a getaway with friends or family. Spacious, easy walk to the beach and great view! Loved our time there, will definitely be back.

Ons C-Huis: Gansbaai Seafront, back-up power
The C-Huis was an excellent AirBnB. For a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, it is incredible value for money. The sea view from the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area is unbeatable, and we saw whales in the bay. The home is modern, well-maintained, spotlessly clean and the kitchen is so well-equipped with absolutely everything for cooking, baking, braaing, chopping, roasting, toasting, air-frying, and everything in between. The linens and towels were excellent, and the beds very comfortable. The washer, clothes dryer and dishwasher are great to have and dish wash powder was supplied. A nice touch to find the freezer with ice trays ready to turn out ice on arrival. We will be back!

Beach Haven House
Great location, great communication and welcome from the hosts and overall a perfect get-away for families

Welsh Whales - De Kelders Getaway
Beautiful house and surroundings. The pictures does not do this place justice. Me and my family had lots of fun playing table tennis and relaxing on the balcony. I will love to visit it again in future. Thank you for making the house available for us to stay in.

Great apartment and very central, we rarely used our car as there are so many restaurants, shops and attractions in the area. Would surely recommend this apartment.

Wish we could have stayed forever! We loved this Airbnb, it may be the best ever stayed in! The house and location are stunning. The host was welcoming and helpful. There were many useful extras like clothes and dish washing pods and soaps in the bathroom. Very useful after a long journey. We can’t wait to return!
