Avril & Magrietjie de Villiers
AKWA House is located in Hermanus, with beautiful views of the beaches, mountains & lagoon. Located 2 roads away from the famous Grotto blue flag beach. (10 min walk). AKWA sleeps 10-12 people. It has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The views from the house is breathtaking. With 360 degree views you can choose between spectacular mountain, sea and even lagoon views. The house is very family friendly with 2 lounges, one with a pool table, table tennis table and a bar area. We have also installed solar electricity for your convenience. No more loadshedding!!! We welcome large families or groups of friends to come and enjoy a wonderful stay and enjoy the beautiful Hermanus. Come and relax! .
My name, Magrietjie, means Daisy flower in Afrikaans. You are welcome to call me MARIA, as Magrietjie is difficult for some people to pronounce. I am happily married to Avril and we have 2 beautiful children, Helen & Malan. We live in a Wellington - a beautiful town in the Boland in Western Cape, South Africa. The town is surrounded with mountains and vineyards, therefore worth a visit. My other favourite town is Hermanus where I grew up. With mountains, vineyards, sea, whales, cliff paths and so much more it is for me one of the most beautiful towns in the world. We provide accommodation that is surrounded with nature and therefore allow you to be sporty or just relax and let your soul fill up again... that is also the kind of places we prefer to visit.
Hermanus is one of the most favourite tourist destinations in the Western Cape. Their is a vast variety of things to do and things to see. Feel free to contact us if you want to know more about the area.
