Welcome! I’m Angelique, and I am passionate about creating a warm, inspiring space where guests can truly feel at home. As a proud local of Hermanus, I have a deep love for this beautiful town — from its breathtaking coastal paths and majestic mountains to its vibrant restaurants, galleries, and wellness experiences. I am not just your host; I’m your guide to the magic of Hermanus. Whether you’re looking for the best whale-watching spots, a quiet beach to unwind, a scenic hiking trail, or a cozy café tucked away from the crowds, I’m here to share insider tips and hidden gems. I truly believe in living close to nature, and I’m always happy to recommend activities that connect you to the outdoors and the rhythm of our coastal life. As a wellness enthusiast, I deeply value the importance of rest, restoration, and connection. That’s why I’ve thoughtfully created my apartment as a peaceful haven — a stylish, cozy, and modern bohemian space where you can relax, recharge, and feel supported. It’s designed to be more than just a place to stay; it’s a soft landing spot after days filled with exploration and wonder. From the neutral tones, natural textures, and abundant greenery, to the little details that matter — fast WiFi for remote working, a comfortable workspace, and a secure, central location — everything has been curated with your comfort and ease in mind. My goal is simple: to make you feel cared for, while offering you the freedom to experience Hermanus in your own way. Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, work, or a bit of everything, I hope this space becomes your home away from home — a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and feel inspired. It’s an honour to host you, and I’m always available should you need anything to make your stay even more special. I offer Sylvotherapy and Energy healing, should you wish to know more, just reach out to me for more details. I look forward to welcoming you soon!
Hermanus is one of those rare coastal towns where natural beauty, adventure, and soulful relaxation meet effortlessly. Visitors are enchanted by the sweeping Atlantic Ocean views, dramatic cliff paths, and the mountain range that wraps the town in a feeling of sanctuary and wonder. One of the biggest highlights is the world-renowned whale watching. Each winter and spring, Southern Right Whales migrate to Walker Bay to mate and calve, offering one of the best land-based whale-watching experiences on Earth. Whether standing on the cliffs or enjoying a coffee by the sea, sightings of whales breaching and playing are common and unforgettable. Travellers also love the Hermanus Cliff Path, a breathtaking 12-kilometer coastal walk. This scenic trail winds along the shoreline, offering incredible views of the ocean, indigenous fynbos, and occasional whale spouts just offshore. It’s perfect for easy walks, photography, and moments of pure awe. Adventure seekers are spoiled for choice: • Hiking in Fernkloof Nature Reserve with panoramic mountain and sea views. • Kayaking on the open ocean, close to playful seals and marine life. • Shark cage diving in nearby Gansbaai for thrill-seekers. • Wine tasting at world-class vineyards in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. For beach lovers, Hermanus offers stunning spots like Grotto Beach, Voëlklip, and Kammabaai, ideal for swimming, surfing, or simply soaking up the sun. The town’s vibrant arts and culture scene also captivates visitors, with charming galleries, artisan shops, and lively weekend markets. Food enthusiasts adore the range of gourmet restaurants and casual cafés where fresh seafood, local wines, and spectacular ocean views make every meal memorable. But beyond activities, Hermanus holds something deeper — a soulful energy. It’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the rhythms of nature and yourself. Visitors often come for the whales, but they return for the feeling: a lasting sense of wonder and peace.
