the Western Cape. The Overberg offers you miles of unspoilt beaches,
rugged mountains, peacefull bays as well as rough seas. Here you
will find the coastal town of Hermanus, also known as the "Whale
Capital" of South Africa, and Cape Agulhas, the southern
most tip of Africa where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.

holiday house than hotel, this Caribbean-style property is

in Hermanus, an affluent coastal community that's an easy
hour-and-a-half drive from Cape Town. All ten suites are individually
decorated in an uncluttered yet lavish style; half open onto
wooden verandas with glorious sea views. Surfing, swimming,
fishing, and diving are among the diversions. When you've
had enough of the sea, take a dip in the bilevel swimming
pool in the courtyard or the infinity pool on the seafront
