“Efficient but discreet hosts, everything worked, totally recommend.”
Close to the coast, felt secure and private, nothing was missing for a weeklong stay. Warm despite the weather. Cute and cosy.

“A wonderful stay in Hermanus”
It was private, quiet and within walking distance to the coastline. We were 4 ladies and it was very comfortable for us all. Has a lovely big verandah with a braai area which made the place feel so big. We would definitely recommend to anyone.

“Private and homely cottage atmosphere.”
The atmosphere of the place was discrete and sheltered with a homely cottage feel. This was despite it being part of a large house. The presence of a balcony above the outdoor areas hid the house. The owner leant us a large saucepan, which was kind. It is a short pleasant 1 km walk to Davies pool which was excellent.
