Cottage vacation rentals in Hermanus

My daughter and i had a super stay. We felt safe to explore the beautiful farm and gardens. The view from the cottage, hot tub and friendly donkeys were a highlight. The staff are friendly and helpful. We have shared this location with our family and friends.

We had two wonderful and quiet days at the start of our vacation. It was perfect! Furnished with a lot of love for detail. And there's a lot to explore on the farm. We enjoyed it very much - so much so that we booked directly for the next vacation! We look forward to it

Had a lovely stay at the cottage. Special views to enjoy, well equipped home, uncluttered yet including most of what makes a break comfortable. Particularly impressed by kitchen equipment, cutlery, crockery quality - makes for convenient self catering. Location good and plenty of activities nearby. Very suitable for a couple or family of 4 but might feel a bit crowded with six adults in the space. But certainly a wonderful break away

Lovely location, remote enough for nature lovers but just 15min from Gansbaai for groceries, etc. Plenty of scenic walks for all fitness levels, multiple swimming spots, nearby Lomond wine farm has great MTB trails. The cottage is spacious and comfortable, the covered outdoor seating area with braai is a relaxing vibe. Would revisit for sure.

The cottage was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated—exactly as described. Surrounded by nature, it was peaceful and relaxing, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay again!

We had the most wonderful stay at Rivergate. The farm is gorgeous and peaceful and if you like these sort of environments, this place is for you. Our family enjoyed the beautiful interiors and exteriors and the hot tub was an utter hit with the kids. A highlight was the fresh breakfast basket delivered every morning. The farm has lots to enjoy from kayaks and canoes for the river, walks, flower picking and more. It was such a delight and I hope we can be back for a visit in the future. Our one negative was that we unfortunately had small bats nesting in the roof of our bedroom which disturbed us in the evenings. The Rivergate family was seeing to their removal so hopefully they won’t be a bother for anyone else. It’s a rural and beautiful setting so understandably you will share space with some creatures but this did not detract from the wonderful stay here.

Absolutely loved our stay at South Hill. Highly recommend for a romantic weekend away

we had an amazing stay at the farmhouse. it's absolutely perfect for a laid-back family / large group stay. The location is stunning and we particularly loved the outside area with it's outside braai and large plunge pool/hot tub. Our kids loved the donkeys, climbing the trees, and swimming in the dam. and our dog loved playing with resident dogs Bobby and Faff! Thank you for a wonderful stay; we'll definitely be back.

What a memorable stay in Hermanus, made more so by Marinda. Location was ideal. Quiet yet close to everything. The cottage was in a beautiful setting as Marinda's garden is breathtaking. Odie and I felt completely at home in the cottage, including interaction with neighbors! Marinda is a kind soul, always looking out for me and Odie. Cannot wait to visit again during whale season!

A fabulous place to stay, amazing host full of knowledge and welcoming! Renee was lovely Cest ca a truly lovely place to relax and explore the area Thank you! X

We spend a few days at Diana's place. communication was easy and fast. the house has lots of space, is located in a quiet neighborhood and the best part was the walk to the beach was only 2 minutes. We will definitely visit again.

The cottage was very clean and as described. Leatitia was very responsive and helpful. Great location - would definitely recommend.

The views are AMAZING! Matt is an extremely organised and generous host. Loved our weekend there.

It is a great place with lots of kitchen equipment. Plenty of comfortable places to sit and relax with a good view of the sea. The bedrooms are comfortable and are both en-suite. The house is close to the cliff path that runs nexf to the sea all the way to down to the town centre. The path also leads to a number of swimming beaches within a 5 minute walk.

A proper farm - protea flowers - but only 30 minute scenic drive to nearest large town (Stanford) and 15 minute drive to nearest small village. We (2 adults + 2 small dogs) enjoyed our walks, dips in the river ponds, and sunsets and sunrises, in short, a nice getaway. Lindsay was friendly, interesting and attentive, a great host.

We had a great stay, thank you

Very nice place. Picture perfect views, immaculate unit. Well organized, well equipped, piecefull and relaxing. Good braai area. We will be back !!!

What a pleasure to spend a few days in this beautiful house - top notch location with a breathtaking view over the ocean, fantastic terrace for morning coffee and evening sunsets, and perfectly situated for walks down to the beach or along the mountain paths above. Kids loved visits from the baboons and we spent hours around the dining table playing board games and enjoying the views. House has everything you need, hosts are fabulous and Pringle Bay is treat - cannot recommend this place enough!

This beautiful cottage was perfectly located near the Point for sunset & coastal fynbos walk to beach. It’s a small but supremely comfy & clean cottage with gorgeous decor & everything we needed to be comfortable. It even has a sea view (look out for whales), outdoor seating and pleasing outlook over a natural wetlands garden with a pond and bench. Felt private, safe & serene with separate entrance & car park. Brian and Harriet were lovely people, the perfect kind of hosts and provided helpful info about activities in the area.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at this countryside cottage was simply delightful! From the moment we arrived, the host was incredibly friendly and supportive, making us feel right at home without being intrusive. The apartment exceeded all our expectations—far more than what was listed and described! Surrounded by grazing sheep, playful otters, and charming chickens, it felt like a peaceful retreat. Yet, we were pleasantly surprised to find all the modern gadgets you could expect in a big city home, from a smart TV to an air fryer. The paraffin lamp added such a lovely, cozy touch to our evenings. We were genuinely sad to leave this little slice of paradise. If you’re looking for a unique and comfortable getaway, this is the perfect spot!

This unit is comfortable and clean. I only stayed for one night and had everything that I needed including an extra blanket (it was cold), but I was perfectly warm. I needed to check in early which was no problem for Jaquie and greatly appreciated. The host is kind and generous. I would definitely stay again if I was going that way. 5 stars all round. Thank you Jaquie.

What a great little find in the heart of Hermanus. Douglas is an amazing host and Beatrice who tends to the property is simply superb. We had an amazing stay and will definitely back again!

Visited over the Easter holidays with my family. Lovely little place, my daughter enjoyed staying in the annex bedroom. Thank you Louise for a lovely stay ☺️

Very nice and clean Apartment. Melanie made sure we knew everything about the place and the area. We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful area. Hope to come back for a longer stay.
