With 7 bedrooms spread over the main house and two cottages, there's plenty of space for large groups. When you book, you'll have the entire farm to yourself – a place so picturesque and peaceful, you'll never want to leave.

Picturesque Lagoon Cabin on Klein River Hermanus

Make some memories at this unique and family-friendly place. Very peaceful and relaxing with plenty of bird and marine life at your doorstep. A paddle in our double seated kayak is a must when the tide and weather conditions permit. Paddle a short distance across to the island and enjoy a picnic under one of our sun umbrellas and a dip in the mix of the fresh lagoon water and the Atlantic Ocean.

Thalassa, rustic ocean-front haven of calm

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 89 reviews4 months ago

Run, don’t walk, to Sally’s place! We had an amazing peaceful weekend. Morning and evening walks to the beach. We saw a large colony of penguins, as well as a baby fur seal in additions to amazing bird and flower life. She had everything one could need for a weekend escape. We lit the fire every night and watched the stars from the porch. Highly recommend and would come back in an instant.

Four of us were in South Africa for 3 weeks of safari’s and sightseeing. We added 3 days to our stay to relax before the long flight home. We enjoyed the unit very much and have already recommended it to some friends that want to make the same trip. Nico and Michelle both gave us great recommendations for places to eat.

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 80 reviews1 week ago

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

Whale Haven @ SeaVillage (5kw Inverter + Fibre Wi-Fi)

4.7 out of 5 average rating, 269 reviews6 days ago

We had such a lovely stay in Wayne and Dallia's place in Hermanus! It is a charming vacation home, filled with travel books and other interesting resources on their plentiful shelves. They provided fresh fruit and even a bottle of wine as a welcome! The house includes a private back garden with gorgeous bougainvillea flowers, as well as a front garden with a little fire-pit. The MBR balcony looks directly out over the ocean, with incredible views of the crashing waves -- which lulled us to sleep each night. We would love to come back! THANK YOU for such a gorgeous, peaceful stay!

Stanford River Retreat

5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviews3 months ago

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.
