On the Cliff Guest House, Hermanus
INTRODUCTION
On the Cliffs is an inviting, highly hospitable guest house situated in the picturesque town of Hermanus. This narrow coastal town, between the fynbos-covered mountains and the waves of the Atlantic is the best land based whale watching destination in the world and an icon of the Western Cape.
Within easy reach of Cape Town, convenience and comfort is at the order of the day. All seven rooms have panoramic views of the Atlantic; best viewed from your private balcony or patio. The rooms are fully en-suite with king-size beds and luxury fittings. Beauty treatments are available on request, a sauna and cosy spot at the fireplace by the bar or guest lounge promises and unforgettable experience.
Enjoy a scrumptious breakfast by the pool, and then take a bicycle or walk from our front gate along the cliffs to town or the New Harbour and watch whales jump or swim sometime so close you feel you can touch them! From extreme to just lazing in the sun, there is enough to satisfy everyone - your hosts, Charmaine and Hylton will gladly provide recommendations.
