Self catering in Sandbaai, Hermanus
Looking for your next holiday adventure? Then Hermanus is definetely the place to go. It’s become one of the top tourist destinations in South Africa and yet still remains true to its fishing village heritage. The vibrant suburbs that surround the town give you the perfect quiet getaway that’s close to where all of the action is happening. This is why so many people are opting for self-catering in Hermanus for their holiday accommodation.
Self-catering gives you plenty of freedom when travelling, you’re in control of what you eat and when you eat. Additionally, if you’re in a big group then you can take over an entire villa, lodge or home for the duration of your stay. This way, you have the same freedoms you have in your own home but the benefit of being on holiday in a stunning destination.
There are also plenty of options for smaller groups or pairs travelling together. Many self-catering places have facilities to cater for two people. You can either get a stand-alone cottage or go for a place with lockup rooms and en-suite bathrooms that have a communal kitchen and dining area. The second option can be great if you want to meet fellow travellers and save a little money.
Many people come to stay in Hermanus from all over the world to experience the beauty of the Overberg region. From July to December, the town turns into a whale watching mecca and blossoms into the ever-popular Hermanus Whale Festival. During these months the town celebrates anything and everything Southern Right Whale, and the cliffs become a hotspot for those looking to spot these gracious giants.
In summer, the town is famous for its extraordinary beaches. Grotto Beach has Blue Flag status and is a wonderful place for sunbathing, swimming, body boarding and surfing. You can also rent canoes or kayaks and head off into the ocean by yourself or on guided tours. If you want a bit more peace and quiet on the beach, then head up the coast and explore the 18km of shoreline that makes up Walker Bay. Some of these beaches are so small and private that they don’t even have names.
Hermanus truly is a stunning place to visit at any time of the year. It’s a paradise for those who love the great outdoors and enjoy getting close to nature, and booking into self-catering in Sandbaai means securing the best spot for your next holiday.
