Our favourite place in the whole world is Hermanus- and to have a holiday home there is a dream come true. This house looks like nothing from the street but inside it is beautiful with a sea and sand theme right throughout the house. We love going there for our summer holidays- normally December. Hermanus is only an hour and a bit from Cape Town which makes it ideal for getting to know the Cape and the winelands of South Africa. Hermanus has many beautiful beaches and a cliff path along the beach. Walking that cliff path is one of our favourite things to do. It is breathtakingly beautiful to walk there. You can also visit places nearby like Stanford - where you can do a wonderful sunset cruise on the river. Gansbaai is also very close by and there you can do shark cage diving.
The mountains along the coast of Hermanus is stunning and there are many hiking trials.Hermanus is also very well known for whales .Hermanus has been recognized by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) as one of the 12 best whale watching destinations in the world. The best time to enjoy whale watching in Hermanus is between July and November either from land, by boat or from the air via a scenic flight.
There are also quaint little shops in Hermanus- and wonderful,diverse restaurants.
We love Hermanus and would love sharing our house with other families that love nature and the beach. My husband is a keen photographer and most of the photo's posted are what he took.
The house has a beautiful mountain view and is in walking distance from most beaches. It is ideal for a beach family holiday.
“Dear Anneke, thanks so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home in this very nice part of Hermanus. We even enjoyed the local supermarket with their homemade soup and banana bread! We loved waking up on the top room and look at the breeze in the trees before sunbathing on the terrace. Our youngest loved all those rooms - and pretended to be a maid in a hotel when I told her to just chose one room and leave the others tidy :-) . Katerina and family”
We are a family of 4 but our house is always filled with other kids and family - especially when on holiday in Hermanus
My husband Ralph is a farmer and also works for a forestry company. I used to teach but now keep myself busy with community projects- especially focusing on uplifting very poor rural children - seeing them get skills and a good education gives me great joy!
As a family we love to travel, visit art museums,ski,hike and get to know new cultures. History was one of my majors at University so I really enjoy getting to know the history of countries and places we visit
