*** Inquire about World Cup ***
Hermanus is the premier seaside resort in the Western Cape, popular with both South Africans and overseas visitors alike. Rightfully listed in the book "1000 Places to See Before You Die", Hermanus is famous for its champagne air, 13-kilometer long cliff walk along the ocean front, great beaches, great golf, great restaurants and the world's best land-based whale watching.
"Marine Terrace" is a modern three-bedroom, two-bath condominium in the Eastcliff section of town, midway between the Old Harbour and Voelklip. You are located just steps from the fabulous Marine Hotel and under five minutes on foot from the Old Harbour or to Grotto Beach. You are oceanfront, with full ocean views from the balcony, the sitting/dining room and the main bedroom.
To see the location using Google Earth or Google Maps paste in the following coordinates: 34 24 57.68S, 19 14 45.53E
The Old Harbour is the hub of the town. The area is filled with excellent restaurants, great art galleries, antique shops and all the necessities of life shops as well. The Old Harbour is also (arguably) the best spot for whale watching in a town famous for its whale watching. Listen to the Whale Crier as he sounds out his Morse code indicating the location of the whales. Get your picture taken with him, too. Visit the open-air crafts market. Take a stroll down to town via the cliff path or over lush green lawns.
The Condo is set up for short and long term rentals. It has everything you need from linens to pots and pans to a hairdryer. All you need to bring is your personal effects. Lock-up garage for one car is included plus plenty of secure parking. Satellite TV with UK ans US programming..
For the perfect African holiday, combine your stay in Hermanus with time at my accommodations near Cape Town, a flat in Sea Point, VRBO #50733, and an ocean front house on Blouberg Beach, VRBO #73276. If you are more adventurous, I also have a beach front house near the Mozambiquen resort town of Inhambane (write for details).
