Hermanus Esplanade

The Greek Isle atmosphere and dcor compliments the vacation ambience and the furnishings. You can sit back, slow down and enjoy the beautiful view.

We have 22 self-catering apartments consisting of two, four and six sleepers all facing Walker Bay and providing affordable family accommodation. The apartments range from duplex to free-standing, sea-facing or courtyard units, including an authentic fishermans cottage. Each apartment is fully equipped and has its own private braai, secure parking and a games room to keep the kids busy.

All apartments are within easy ambling distance of the village centre amenities and a short drive from our lovely beaches. The charming and sophisticated village offers excellent restaurants, shopping opportunities and amenities for all moods and tastes. Hermanus is a unique, historic fishing village in the Overberg region of the Western Cape where you can deeply inhale the champagne air straight off the sea. Experience the enthralling and magical world of whale watching virtually at your feet or from your seafront apartment during the months of May to December.

Reviews

  • "sehr schlechter baulicher Zustand"

    10 September 2016

    "Positiv ist der Blick aufs Meer: einzigartig!<br/>Sehr negativ fanden wir den Zustand der Wohnung: Schimmel, eher feucht, bei Regen tropfte es von der Decke, die Fensterscheiben hatten Lcher, die Terrassentr einen 6cm breiten Spalt, durch den der kalte Wind reinzog.<br/>An heien Sommertagen ist das ok, aber bei uns im September war es ohne Heizung zu khl."

  • "Very disappointed"

    03 April 2016

    "Up to now we have always been happy with reservations made through SafariNow, but after our visit to Hermanus Esplanade we will be a lot more careful before making a booking. Thankfully we only had 2 nights to endure in the establishment, had it been for any longer we would have moved elsewhere. The unit was nothing like what is advertised. The only positive part was the central location and good view. We could not use the braai as it was falling apart, the fridge was so smelly we did not want to put anything in it. I could go on, but will rather just say that unless you are looking for something like a basic backpackers, you should avoid the Hermanus Esplanade."

  • "You get what you pay for."

    12 January 2016

    "I'm assuming that R500 per night for accommodation in Hermanus during January is relatively cheap. The building itself is dilapidated and most fittings are worn and on the verge of collapse. We were told that there were stairs up to the accommodation but not that these stairs were almost vertical and had to be negotiated every time we wanted to go from the downstairs room to the bedroom/bathroom. Reception offered to phone us the next day with a view to swopping for a ground floor room. This never happened.<div>We arrived on the Saturday and that night some other residents shouted and sang until almost midnight. In the past we have had good service from SafariNow but this was not pleasant.</div>"

  • "Unacceptable!"

    31 December 2015

    "we checked in and out within 30 minutes. Room smelt of smoke, washing hanging across the entrance and piles of old garbage. Very dated and frankly an unacceptable establishment."

  • "Hermanus Esplanade"

    24 August 2015

    "We had a lovely time at Hermanus Esplanade.Due to me suffering from sinusitus, I could not sleep in the 2 sleeper unit with carpets and had to ask for one without carpet. This was given to us by the friendly staff. The location of this resort is within walking distance to all shops, beach, restaurants, etc. and this was a big plus."

  • "Best sleep ever"

    "After a busy day, had the most wonderful sleep at Hermanus Esplanade.The location is also perfect, close to all amenities.<br />"

  • "Perfect Place"

    03 March 2015

    "Peaceful, clean and well organised establishment.<br />A stunning location, right in town and across the road is the cliff path and the sea. <br />Safe parking and then everything is within walking distance and you dont need to drive.<br />Hermanus is a friendly, clean, stunning place.<br />Will be back asap!<br />From Nat and Kirsty Huth<br /><br />"

  • "Review"

    01 March 2014

    "Good location. But poor quality and unkempt interior furnituring. The staircase to the top floor is dangerous."

  • "Backpacker's unit"

    21 November 2013

    "Well situated close to all restaurants and the sea across the road. Roofing used in part for the unit to let in light is not practical during heavy rains; it leaked in and very noisy. Bedding smelled damp."

  • "Comfortable and convenient"

    10 November 2013

    "We stayed in a twin bedded courtyard apartment. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The parking is secure. It is very conveniently situated for good whale viewing areas, only a few moments walk. We felt it was very good value. The only thing we missed was a shower - there was a bath, but no over bath shower, although I believe some apartments have showers."

  • "Very enjoyable"

    03 October 2013

    "This was my 1st visit at Esplanande and we enjoyed every moment of it. What we appreciated most was the privacy of the unit (18) that we got as well as the fact that we could park our vehicle at the establishment as everything was within walking distance. No headaches looking for parking. Next time we would just want a sea facing unit as this was one of the things we missed most- being so close to the water but no view from the unit."

  • "Very nice"

    02 September 2013

    "Very nice and cosy. I was really amazed by the accommodation type for the price I've paid."

  • "Best Stay Ever"

    05 August 2013

    "I must say i had the best stay at this place the view was magnificent and we enjoyed ourselfs fully the staff was friendly and treated us well I WANT TO GO BACK"

  • "Great for smokers, not for me"

    23 January 2013

    "Nice location, close to the sea etc. Place smells like smoke, and we are not smokers, so that was a negative. Overall neat though. Did not have cold water in shower in the morning, couldn't shower in the steaming hot water without burning."
