About this property
This hotel is within easy walking distance, 300 metres, of the business centre, pubs and restaurants in Hermanus and less than a 10 minute walk from the town’s old harbour. From the harbour, you can watch the whales frolicking at close range; Hermanus is the perfect place for whale watching, as well as for diving, with sharks, and other activities. The area is ideal for bird watching and features beautiful natural environments which include various flora and fauna. There are also several golf courses within close proximity to the hotel. However the hotel offers a hypoallergenic outdoor swimming pool within an attractive courtyard, surrounded by an attractive sheltered walkway. The pool area is conveniently accessible from all of the rooms.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
