Bliss on the Bay - Beach Road Condo Surf Spot
What a beautiful and relaxing getaway☺️. This Airbnb exceeds the photos! We loved the place and the beautiful views. Thank you Caryn & Gershon. We will definitely come again 😊❤️

Norfolkden Beachhouse, close to Hermanus beaches!
We had a wonderful stay at Leatitia’s place. Leatitia welcomed us warmly and we felt extremely relaxed and comfortable during our stay. The location is top class…walking distance to all the beaches within the Voelklip area. Long lazy afternoons enjoying the garden and Braai area. The snooker table was a wonderful fun addition. We will be back. Thank you Leatitia.

Getaway for a couple or two, 100m from the beach
Amazing house with great views over the ocean. Located within a stonethrow of the beach with easy access to all Hermanus has to offer. Fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of crashing waves. Has every amenity you could need to make your stay comfortable and our dogs absolutely loved it too !

Once upon a Tide 2
Waking up to a sea view was a treat, but the real surprise was discovering a cupboard full of old board games and puzzles I remembered from my childhood. We had such fun playing together as a family. Long beach walks, friendly chats with locals — it all added to the charm. It’s not fancy, but it’s full of heart. A magical spot by the sea, perfect for making memories with the kids.

Bayview
We had an amazing stay at Bayview on Pringle Beach! This place is something else :) From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking ocean view and how peaceful and cozy everything felt. It was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we could possibly need – and more! We started our mornings with coffee on the balcony watching the sunrise and ended the days with unforgettable sunsets and braais. The beach nearby is absolutely stunning, one of my most favorite memories from the trip. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing escape.

* Beach Nest + outdoor shower at Strand Main Beach
Kim and Petri are great hosts and we had a wonderful stay at their place. It is spacious, stylish, safe and two minutes from the beach. A perfect place to spend a few days in and explore the surroundings. Thanks again for everything and we will be back.

Wat hebben wij genoten van ons verblijf in dit prachtige huis in Hermanus! Sally Ann nam van te voren al contact met ons op en heeft ervoor gezorgd dat ons verblijf in het huis prima is verlopen. Door een verbouwing aan de overkant klapte de wifi er uit, dit is echter snel opgelost. (Van de verbouwing heb je overigens totaal geen last). Het huis ligt op een mooie locatie op loopafstand van het strand. Verder is bijna alles in Hermanus 5 minuutjes rijden met de auto! Enige wat voor sommige mensen een minpuntje kan zijn is dat de buren 2 grote honden hebben die regelmatig blaffen. Wij vinden het niet erg maar zijn dan ook honden gewend! Voor Europese normen is het huis het geld waard, voor zuid Afrikaanse normen is het een dure huis! Wij hebben in ieder geval erg genoten en zouden zo weer terug gaan! Een dikke dank je wel aan Sally Ann!

Under milkwoods
We spent a much needed 4 nights at Susan's place. Sam, her co-host and also permanent resident at the accommodation was always so friendly and checked in on us often. The best part about this place was the location and the fact that our dogs were welcome. We were all in a beachy heaven! Nostalgia definitely set in having spent most of my childhood holidays in Gordon's Bay. Every spot held a memory. We'll be back for sure.

Villa Del Mar
Second time we've booked this house, genuinely one of our faves!

Lux Penthouse (Sea View Apartment) Solar Powered
Thanks Adriaan and Nico for what was an amazing weekend away . The apartment was everything we expected and more . We were lucky enough to have 3 evenings of the most incredible sunsets from the comfort of our balcony whilst the barbecue was heating up our dinner . We later went up to the pool deck and enjoyed the night sky from the jacuzzi . Perfect apartment in a perfect location .

Villa One
We loved the great apartment with the big glass windows and the terrace. The view on the ocean is stunning and you have direct beach access. Communication and check in was super easy, everything was clean so we definitely would come back again.

Harbour Studio
Toller Blick von der großen Terrasse aus. Die Wohnung bot alles, was man zum leben braucht. Man ist sehr schnell sowohl an der Bikini Beach als auch am Strand von Gordans Bay. Einziges Manko war, dass wir ab dritten Nacht Gäste über uns hatten und die Wohnung sehr hellhörig ist. Aber auch hier war Emma sehr hilfsbereit und hat sich um Abhilfe bemüht.

Stunning ocean view house with indoor pool
Die Aussicht auf das Meer und auf die Bucht würde auch 6 Sterne bekommen, falls das möglich wäre. Alle 3 Schlafzimmer sind geräumig und mit eigenem Bad. Wir hatten zu viert reichlich Platz. Der Pool mit 'Cabrio-Dach' macht Spaß und hat den gleichen tollen Ausblick aufs Meer wie das Wohnzimmer. Insgesamt trotz des gehobenen Preises eine runde Sache. Wenn jemand gerne und viel selber kochen möchte, ist die Küche nur bedingt geeignet - trotzdem 5 Sterne, da die 4 Sterne für die Küche von den 6 Sternen für den Ausblick ausgeglichen werden.

Kuriake Seaview Holiday Apartment - Self catering
Sandra was very friendly, professional and helpful and was very accommodating with our check in when our plans changed last minute. The unit was exactly as shown in the photos. Everything was new & well decorated. Everything we needed was in the unit, right down to having adapter plugs for charging in the bedrooms. The view of the ocean from the balcony was stunning! We really felt like we were home away from home. We would definitely recommend this unit and Sandra as a host! Thanks for sharing your unit with us Sandra, we had a great stay! :-)

Sea view apartment in Whale Rock Estate Hermanus.
It was a great stay! The view and access to the beach was great!

Beach Villa in Hermanus
It's our third stay at this villa at Kennedys and it remains a spectacularly beautiful and different destination. The villa is eclectic with interesting furnishings reflecting the world travels of the owners. There are different place to site inside and outside and the location of the kolkol hot tub is truly spectacular with views across the lagoon and onto Onrus beach. The magical milkwood trees set the tone for a magical stay. The villa has all the amenities you could want, James the butler is always in attendance when you need him and the privacy is great. Its easy walking distance to Milk Restaurant and there are great coastal walks from the villa if you feel the need to leave your luxurious apartment. The fact that we have been there three times already speaks volumes about just how much we like it there and we will be back for a fourth time.

SeaPad at Romansbaai Collection -Beachfront
10/10! By far the best service and experience we have ever had. Best stay ever! This was a great experience. The staff was very polite and well-organised…..exceptional aspects like stunning views, impeccable design, and attentive service, peaceful environment everything stood out for me .

Villa Sunset Beach
We had an incredible stay at Villa Sunset Beach! From the moment we arrived, Barbara was the perfect host—so friendly and welcoming, always available to ensure we had everything we needed. The villa itself was stunning, with breathtaking beach views that were perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Our family had an amazing time, enjoying the serene atmosphere and the convenience of being so close to the beach. It was the perfect getaway for us to recharge and have fun together. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend this holiday home to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful retreat. Thank you, Barbara!

Maison La Mer (401 Pip’s Place)
What breathtaking views! Across the road from a magnificent beach and close to great restaurants. Beautiful flat, very comfortable. Quintus was a fantastic host and spoiled us. We will be back, next time with the whole family.

Zebra Views - Romansbaai Luxury Retreat
Excellent location and most peaceful stay. Romansbaai is a great location. Check-in was easy and hosts were great. A few small niggles with the braai on the patio and the walk down to the beach with a 3yo, but a truly spectacular stay. Will be back.

Rustic Beachfront living at its best
We had a lovely 2day stay. The beach house has enough of everything. Well equipped kitchen, beautiful decorated open space with a sea view. The beds and couches are very comfortable. Definitely a great place for a short or long getaway.

Casa Balena: Gansbaai seafront, back-up power
We had an absolutely wonderful time at this holiday house. From start to finish, the service was excellent and the home itself was beautifully maintained. The interior was clean, stylish, and clearly well looked after. The beds were comfortable – we all slept like logs! The kitchen was fully equipped, with everything in perfect working order, and to our delight, even included a Victorinox kitchen knife – WINNER! A special shoutout to our hostess, who was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly – she made us feel right at home. All in all, a flawless stay. Highly recommended and deserving of a solid 5 stars!

Stunning beachside apartment on the water's edge
A sweet simple house located in quiet neighborhood right on the beach. We loved the large windows that open onto the beach. There are good cafés and a toy and souvenir shop a short walk down the lovely beach. This is a good place for a quiet get away or quality time with family. Dede, the host, is a gem. The house does not include a clothing dryer. However, even on a rainy weekend we were able to hang dry clothing inside using the rack and fan that were provided. The beds are very comfortable and the linens very clean. One bedroom does not have AC and is significantly warmer. The adults in our group fit in the other bedrooms and slept well. Our son wasn’t too bothered by the temperature in warm bedroom. But it’s worth mentioning because the adults in our group could not have slept comfortably in the warm bedroom, even with the fan.
