    Although it is so central it is incredibly peaceful and the only sound is the birds chirping in the garden. Five minutes (less even) walk to all the shops, restaurants, cliff path and marine pool. The kitchen is well equipped and great that it is...

Eastcliff Cottage is part of an original Hermanus home, built in 1940, with beautiful Oregon floors and ceiling. This unique self catering unit, sleeping 2 people, is situated in the heart of Eastcliff, and is within very easy walking distance of the village centre and seafront.

I am married and have lived in the beautiful town of Hermanus for 30 years. My children are grown up and I have 3 grandchildren living in Hermanus and they visit often. I enjoy walking, swimming , reading and gardening . I am an artist and I draw and paint when I have spare time ! I love an outdoor life and my favourite holidays are at Game Reserves or in rural villages in South Africa. I do enjoy preparing meals and like to grow my own herbs.
Eastcliff Cottage is situated in the beautiful leafy suburb of Eastcliff, near Hoy’s Koppie and the historic Old Station Building. We are only a few minutes walk from the sea front, the magnificent Marine Tidal Pool and the cliff paths which offer the best land-based whale watching in the world. The nearby village centre, with shops, restaurants, art galleries, drop-off laundry and the famous Saturday Craft Market are all within easy walking distance of the cottage, The famous Saturday Morning market is a 10 minute walk up the road and the pristine , blue flag Grotto Beach a 7km drive in the car.
