Auberge Provence

Set on the edge of the cliffs of Hermanus overlooking the whale watchers' paradise of Walker Bay, is an intimate retreat constructed in the style of a traditional French Provencal farmhouse.

This authentic piece of France, complete with rustic stone and wrought iron balconied façade, stone floors, and arched walkway was inspired by a beautiful guest house outside St. Remy on the hills of an ancient village. Two majestic wooden doors open to invite you to an incomparable vista over the cliffs, fynbos, and the bay.

The house is built around a romantic central courtyard with a cool charcoal and travertine pool. Enjoy sumptuous breakfasts under the grape-vined terrace or on the seafront. The cool interiors and rich colours offer a haven of great charm and style, while the classic decoration, works of art, and large stone fireplaces impart a sense of timeless elegance.

All five suites are individually themed and furnished in soft, relaxing colours and natural woods that are well suited to a luxurious ocean fronted environment. The en-suite bathrooms are the ultimate in indulgence with French fragranced bath products. For a romantic getaway, choose a suite with your own plunge pool or Jacuzzi.

Hermanus has some of the most beautiful beaches in South Africa, with majestic sightings of the Southern Right whales arriving every year to calve in Walker Bay. It offers many activities ranging from shark cage diving, boat based whale viewing, crayfishing, and golf. This beautiful village, within one kilometre of Auberge Provence, has superb restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisine. Cape Town and the Winelands are only an hour and a half away, which makes it an excellent holiday destination for visitors from all across the world.
