"Really awesome little surf house and surf school in Hermanus . Sarah the owner really took care of all our needs and organised all our surfing lessons and a very special whale boat trip to see the southern wright whales. The surf house is just a short walk into the town centre along the beautifull ocean cliff path walk . Highly recommended and will back for sure some day !"

Die Nacht unter freiem Himmel mit Sternensicht zu verbringen ist ein Traum. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr zuvorkommend und sehr herzlich. Das Frühstück ist ein unvergesslicher Genuss.
