Hamewith Penthouse - Seafront Views
Super flexibel was unserer Anreise anbelangte. U sere Ankunft war ungeplant Nachts 01.30 Uhr. Es war alles vorbereitet wir konnten selbstverständig ins Appartement. Der Ausblick und die Lage des Appartements ist einfach nur perfekt. Jederzeit wieder.

*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.

On the Rocks A | Onrus, Hermanus
Lovely and well kept, Heleen was super as a host, the location was amazing with clever architecture to hide from the wind and still enjoy the clear nights and days.

Hermanus Lagoon. Waterfront Serenity!
Our second time here at this wonderful house on the edge of the lagoon was truly spectacular! The house has absolutely everything you could need including table tennis, tennis racquets, bicycles and board games. The proximity to the water is very special with our boat moored at the beach right in front of the house. Thank you so much Marlize!

Seascape, Vermont Retreat
We had the most amazing stay in Vermont. incredible hosts that were amazingly responsive, proactive and helpful. The view from the stoep is wonderful with easy access to the cliff path. The house is well laid out with everything you need - highly recommend this special stay. We hope to be back again soon!

Seapearl Oceanfront Villa, views from every room!
We stayed on the property for a week and it was an amazing experience. Pictures don’t give justice to the sea view. Property highly recommended for anybody thinking to rent .

Stanford River Retreat
We fell in love with the village of Stanford and the soul restoring River Home. This beautiful house is right on the river's edge and is a real treat (and retreat) to stay in. Just the place to surrender to nature, listen to the birdsong, rest and restore. We loved walking along the delightful river path. A short walk into the centre of town will bring you to several delightful restaurants. We ate at three of them (for lunch at Madré we enjoyed a really good pork belly with crispy skin and vegetables, at La Trattoria we had a feast of authentic Italian food and Agteros has a menu full of delightful South African dishes done with a modern twist). We also brownsed in some delightful homewear and gift shops. If you prefer eating at home, the kitchen at River House has everything you need to cook a gourmet meal. It is spotless, has a great gas hob and electric oven and a dishwasher for cleaning up after.

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.

Whale Cove @ Heavens Veranda (Honeymoon suite)
Das Appartment im dritten Stock hatte von der Terrasse einen wunderschönen Blick auf das Meer bis hinüber nach Hermanus mit seinen spektakulären Bergen. Küche, Wohnzimmer und erstes Schlafzimmer waren sehr schön eingerichtet mit allem, was wir für unseren einwöchigen Aufenthalt benötigten. Wir haben uns in diesem Appartment sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch die Kommunikation mit L war sehr nett und jederzeit hilfreich.
