Relax in the coffee shop and enjoy an excellent meal in the peace and quiet of this tranquil mountain setting.

    • Test your mettle during a unique underwater experience. Go Shark Cage Diving and meet 'The Great White' in its natural surroundings. (Cost R1250 per person).
    • For the less adventurous, we offer a unique tour of Hermanus and a visit to the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens. This beautiful, secluded paradise is set between mountain and sea in the heart of the Cape fynbos region and encompasses 10 hectares of cultivated fynbos and 190 hectares of pristine natural fynbos.
