Kennels in Hermanus

There’s no denying the call for a holiday especially in a pristine, diverse and beautiful region such as the Overberg. And this is where you’ll find Hermanus, nestled on the south-eastern coastline of the Western Cape. This town is the ideal place for family holidays or weekend getaways with friends as it’s located just a short drive away from Cape Town. As a bustling coastal town, Hermanus has become a renowned favourite amongst regular visitors and international travellers alike. And with its world-class amenities, luxurious settings and Blue Flag status beaches, you’ll find yourself coming back time and time again.  

If you’re planning on travelling with your pets then finding a place for you and your travel companions isn’t necessarily difficult in the Overberg but it can sometimes become tricky during peak seasons. There are several guest houses, hotels and self-catering chalets available in Hermanus, however the number of pet-friendly establishments are limited. If you find yourself in a situation where you can only book into accommodation with a no pet policy then there are excellent kennels and catteries located within Hermanus. These can offer temporary solutions for your furry family members, on condition that they have received all their shots and vaccinations. 

Some travellers might be weary of the stigma of kennels or catteries. However, Hermanus establishments offer comfort for your pet as well as an abundance of individual loving attention. Each of the staff employed are avid animal lovers and will treat your furry family member as if they were their own. When you book your pet in, you can be sure that they will receive a clean kennel, supervised outdoor ‘run around’ times (two to four times a day) and even their own toys to play with which will make your pets feel like they’re on holiday too. 

You can also choose to supply your pets’ own food when you book them in, otherwise all the meals are included which also incorporates a treat if allowed.  Additionally, if your animal has special medical needs, such as routine tablets or injections, the staff are more than happy to have you show them how to do it upon your arrival.  

This area is renowned for the diversity of outdoor activities that are available to its visitors. This means that you can collect your pet from the kennel or cattery and take them on an adventure for the day whenever you want to. Whether it’s hiking in the mountain, going for a cycle, a walk along the beach or even a coastal drive or horseback ride, you can easily take your animal with you to be part of the family fun.
