This lovely lodge/guesthouse is located in Westcliff, Hermanus, known as the “Whale Watching capital of the world” and offers excellent accommodation in combination with exciting adventures. Guests can book a whale-watching weekend, explore the beautiful landscapes and beaches or do a wine-tasting trip in the heart of the South African wine industry. The spacious, individually decorated rooms offer beautiful views of the lush green gardens and en-suite bathrooms with separate shower and bathtub. After a day filled with excitement guests can take a dip in of the 2 solar heated pools and relax in one of the loungers with a glass of wine of cold beer.
