Searching For Relaxing Luxurious Guest Houses In Hermanus That Fit Your Holiday Plans


By Peter W.A. Owen

The seaside community of Hermanus has more than 40 guest houses in Hermanus from which to choose. This popular tourist destination has been called the Rivera, being on the south coast on the Western Cape. There is a plentiful choice of guesthouse accommodations from which you can base your excursions to the sightseeing attractions of the area. Water and ocean based attractions highlight this beautiful area.

Many people look forward to staying along the famous cliff paths where the bay and the ocean can be observed. There the visitor can see the Southern White Wales that visit Walker Bay. They come for the mating season, in late September, but whale activity usually continues from June to December. The guesthouses are centrally located between the cliffs and town. There is a very short walk in either direction.

For the golfing enthusiast, one Guest House is actually built on the site of the old Hermanus Golf Club's clubhouse! The golf course is at your doorstep, and again you are located very close to the famous cliff paths overlooking the beautiful Walker Bay.

Tours are available from your guesthouse to boating excursions for whale watching, and also for the more adventurous traveler, you can dive in shark cages in the cold Atlantic and get up close and personal with the Great White sharks in the Region.

You can enjoy the day around town, easily within walking distance from most of the guest houses. The town offers quaint shops and boutiques with a wide choice of locally made gifts and jewelry. This includes a wide selection of abalone shells featuring their famous and extraordinary pearl linings. Other attractions close to your guest house include the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory, bird watching, and the Fernkloof Nature Reserve.

The owners and managers, many of whom are couples, take special care to make your stay with them a warm and memorable experience. You will make new friends with your fellow guests in an intimate atmosphere not found in hotels. Both the area and your particular accommodation will be uniquely intimate.

Guest houses in Hermanus tend to be small, often with less than 10 rooms. This does not reduce the opportunity to enjoy luxurious services including European style hospitality and personalized attention. There are gorgeous views of the sea, the mountains and lovely gardens. You will dine in fine style whether in a family style atmosphere or in a more formal, 5 star like atmosphere. You will enjoy your time including the use swimming pools and spas. There is nothing quite like the Hermanus guest house experience.
