Where the mountains glow at sundown
A newly renovated six-bedroom home with a separate entertainment wing, a short walk from Grotto Beach and the Hermanus Lagoon.
A newly renovated six-bedroom home with a separate entertainment wing, a short walk from Grotto Beach and the Hermanus Lagoon.
This is a big, happy family house, made for long breakfasts, sandy feet and evenings that stretch on well past sunset.
We've renovated it from top to bottom: a brand-new kitchen, six bedrooms that each have their own modern bathroom, and one big open-plan living space where everyone ends up together. Step outside and there's a lawn for cricket, mature trees for shade, and a north-facing patio offering views of the mountains turning amber as the sun goes down.
Whether you're bringing the whole family, a few friends or three generations at once, there's room here for everyone to spread out.
We'd love to have you to stay.
The whole house has been renovated, with a new kitchen and modern bathrooms throughout.
A separate, fully refurbished space connected to the garden for celebrations, games and sundowners.
A north-facing garden and patio, and the famous sundown glow on the mountains every clear evening.
Plenty of space inside and out, with eight parking bays, covered garaging and gates onto two streets.
The refurbished entertainment area, with its new sliding doors, opens up mountain views forever.
It's the natural spot for birthday dinners, games nights, barbecues/braais and sundowners with friends, or a quiet retreat away from the main house.
Six bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.
Six modern en-suite bathrooms.
Voëlklip is Hermanus's quieter, leafier eastern end. It's close enough to town for dinner out, and far enough away to hear the sea at night.
Here's how a typical holiday day tends to go.
Coffee on the sunny patio while the house slowly wakes up.
Stroll down to Grotto Beach, or paddle in the calm lagoon with the little ones.
Whale-spotting along the cliff path, or a wine tasting in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
Everyone back on the patio as the mountains glow, then dinner around one big table.
June–November. Southern right whales in Walker Bay, peaking around September–October and the Whale Festival.
December–January. Beach days at Grotto and long evenings on the patio.
March–May. Warm, still days, quieter beaches and harvest time in the valley.
Cosy weekends, Hermanus FynArts, and fynbos in flower on the mountain trails.
