Cottage holiday rentals in Hermanus

My daughter and i had a super stay. We felt safe to explore the beautiful farm and gardens. The view from the cottage, hot tub and friendly donkeys were a highlight. The staff are friendly and helpful. We have shared this location with our family and friends.

We had two wonderful and quiet days at the start of our vacation. It was perfect! Furnished with a lot of love for detail. And there's a lot to explore on the farm. We enjoyed it very much - so much so that we booked directly for the next vacation! We look forward to it

Beautiful place perfect for a weekend away to unplug. All the farm animals are super friendly and the farm itself is beautiful. The place is super comfortable and quiet and has all the amenities to make you feel cozy and right at home. The only minus was that the kolkol was a bit green but that should be pretty easy to get fixed. Overall, we definitely recommend staying there.

Had a lovely stay at the cottage. Special views to enjoy, well equipped home, uncluttered yet including most of what makes a break comfortable. Particularly impressed by kitchen equipment, cutlery, crockery quality - makes for convenient self catering. Location good and plenty of activities nearby. Very suitable for a couple or family of 4 but might feel a bit crowded with six adults in the space. But certainly a wonderful break away

Lovely location, remote enough for nature lovers but just 15min from Gansbaai for groceries, etc. Plenty of scenic walks for all fitness levels, multiple swimming spots, nearby Lomond wine farm has great MTB trails. The cottage is spacious and comfortable, the covered outdoor seating area with braai is a relaxing vibe. Would revisit for sure.

Great break from the city life. Nice, clean and relaxing space. We had difficulty finding the pool. Maybe a map or clear directions would be great. Otherwise, a great stay.

We stayed here for two nights as part of a longer trip from the UK in the Western Cape. This was such a lovely spot to just stop and relax. We loved the inside/outside space and a cooler/rainy day gave us the opportunity to enjoy a hot tub under the stars. The gardens and grounds are beautiful. Worth a visit to the cutting flower garden across the road. We also really enjoyed the opportunity to swim and kayak in the river. Breakfast hampers a great touch- delicious and beautifully presented. We also made use of ordering braii/ salads and veg which made self catering very easy indeed!

We had the most wonderful stay at Rivergate. The farm is gorgeous and peaceful and if you like these sort of environments, this place is for you. Our family enjoyed the beautiful interiors and exteriors and the hot tub was an utter hit with the kids. A highlight was the fresh breakfast basket delivered every morning. The farm has lots to enjoy from kayaks and canoes for the river, walks, flower picking and more. It was such a delight and I hope we can be back for a visit in the future. Our one negative was that we unfortunately had small bats nesting in the roof of our bedroom which disturbed us in the evenings. The Rivergate family was seeing to their removal so hopefully they won’t be a bother for anyone else. It’s a rural and beautiful setting so understandably you will share space with some creatures but this did not detract from the wonderful stay here.

Lovely cottage right in the heart of Stanford. Lots of restaurants and shops all within easy walking distance. Perfect for a weekend away with a good book.

What a memorable stay in Hermanus, made more so by Marinda. Location was ideal. Quiet yet close to everything. The cottage was in a beautiful setting as Marinda's garden is breathtaking. Odie and I felt completely at home in the cottage, including interaction with neighbors! Marinda is a kind soul, always looking out for me and Odie. Cannot wait to visit again during whale season!

We had a great stay. Especially the location was wonderful, set in a nature reserve right by the river. Very private. And super value for money. The communication with Brian was very friendly, prompt and forthcoming.

Nan's place was great. Bigger than we had expected, well kitted out, and great location for a stroll to the beach and the lagoon. The fireplace worked well to warm up the place when we visited in winter. And Nan was a great host going the extra mile to make sure that we were comfortable. Would love to visit again. Maybe next time in the summer!

We had a wonderful stay at this holiday house! The host was fantastic—great communication and very clear instructions made everything super easy. We especially appreciated the flexibility with check-in and check-out, which made our trip even more relaxing. The location is absolutely perfect—just a two-minute walk to the beach and the stunning cliff path, which was ideal for morning walks and sunset views. The house sits on a large plot with plenty of space, giving it a lovely, open feel. As mentioned in the listing, the house itself is quite outdated, but it’s still very comfortable. The beds and bedding were excellent, and the rooms were spacious. The bathrooms are on the smaller side and not the most modern, but for a weekend stay, it really wasn’t an issue. Overall, a great place for a relaxing getaway in a stunning location! Would definitely recommend.

Great host, very welcoming, accommodating and a wonderful pet friendly cottage

Enjoyed our stay, located very centrally to town, beaches and the cliff walk!

A delightful tranquil find in an eco reserve. We loved our week away from civilization, off the beaten track for definitive. We enjoyed walking along the beach into town for lunch and supplies, due to our saloon vehicle being too low profile for the rocky road into the property. We even had unexpected visits from the local baboons. The two units are at the back of the main large home and overlook the mountains with uninterrupted views rather than the ocean. It was lovely that the other two units were unoccupied during our stay so we had the hammock and the footpaths all to ourselves. We deeply appreciated that our kitten could come along, the midweek cleaning by Gift and Isaac plus the lovely extra welcome bits left by Nicky. The bed was super comfortable and the unit well insulated against the warm summer sun. We can't wait to visit again! Next time with a higher profile vehicle suitable for off road travel. A real hidden gem.

Very nice place. Picture perfect views, immaculate unit. Well organized, well equipped, piecefull and relaxing. Good braai area. We will be back !!!

We very much enjoyed our stay in the Roundhouse. Everything from making the booking to meeting Irene and her husband at check-in to saying goodbye at check-out went really smoothly. It was very peaceful and quiet - just what we needed. From the spacious patio with its built-in seating, the views across Pringle Bay, encircled by magnificent mountains, and with the ocean in the distance, are breathtaking - especially at sunset. The spacious open-plan kitchen with its fridge, oven and hob has all the appliances, crockery and cutlery you need for self-catering. The long dining room table is perfect for enjoying meals together (and playing card games and finishing a crochet project). The sofas and comfortable chairs are great for lazy afternoons reading a book - and if you forget to bring your own, there is a well-stocked bookshelf - and a second hand bookstore in Pringle itself. Irene's file of brochures and maps was full of helpful info about the area. We loved it here.

I had a peaceful stay.Good courtesy from Jacquie.

The house is very beautiful and exactly like the pictures. All rooms do have a lot of atmosphere and that’s why you feel from the beginning home. The garden is very nice with an amazing pool. Communication with the host is very good, fast and helpful. The house is located next to some small nice local deli’s, and restaurants/bakeries. Within walking distance there are some nice paths for a morning or evening stroll along the coast! I really recommend this place!

Gull's nest is a lovely spot. Bass lake is an amazing place for a swim with lovely views and an expanse of open water. Unexpected and a definite favorite from our visit.

Emilia’s cottage was beautiful, we felt right at home and loved the garden and peaceful setting. The cottage was very comfortable and just the right amount of space for us. Its location was also excellent, just a very short walk to the coast and restaurants. Emilia and Alan were wonderful hosts, very friendly and we enjoyed meeting one of the dogs! We would love to return next time we come to Hermanus!

We have had a lovely stay with Mel on her beautiful wine farm. The spot tranquil and beautiful and Mel has been incredibly accommodating! Definitely would recommend and definitely will be returning!

Visited over the Easter holidays with my family. Lovely little place, my daughter enjoyed staying in the annex bedroom. Thank you Louise for a lovely stay ☺️
