    One of the cleanest, best equipped self catering places we have ever stayed in. More than value for money, the amenities are above expectations for the price! Quiet neighborhood, perfect for a quick overnight.

Anita Pentreath
Located in Sandbaai, this property is centrally located, close to The Mall, Engen Fuel Station, 3 convenience shops and only a 10 min drive to Hermanus CBD, within walking distance to the various Sandbaai beach spots. It provides free parking on site, free wifi and a shared outdoor, undercover barbecue facility.
I'm a home person and apart from gardening and cooking, I love the hospitality industry, meeting people and assisting them towards having a pleasant stay.
We are centrally located, close to The Mall with all amenities and an Engen Fuel Station. It's a 10 minute drive into Hermanus CBD and only a 10 min walk to the lovely beach spots in Sandbaai and connection to the Cliff path. We are also close to the Winelands where there are many lovely restaurants to visit. Horse riding, windsurfing, body boarding, walking, cycling, shark cage diving or whale watching (seasonal) are some of the various activities.
