    Lovely cottage, well kitted out. The location is excellent, close to the town but with a tranquil outdoors sitting area for relaxation. The owner, Ruth, is very welcoming.

Eastcliff Cottage is part of an original Hermanus home, built in 1940, with beautiful Oregon floors and ceiling.

I am married and have lived in the beautiful town of Hermanus for 30 years. My children are grown up and I have 3 grandchildren living in Hermanus and they visit often. I enjoy walking, swimming , reading and gardening . I am an artist and I draw and paint when I have spare time ! I love an outdoor life and my favourite holidays are at Game Reserves or in rural villages in South Africa. I do enjoy preparing meals and like to grow my own herbs.
Eastcliff Cottage is situated in the beautiful leafy suburb of Eastcliff, near Hoy’s Koppie and the historic Old Station Building. We are only a few minutes walk from the sea front, the magnificent Marine Tidal Pool and the cliff paths which offer the best land-based whale watching in the world. The nearby village centre, with shops, restaurants, art galleries, drop-off laundry and the famous Saturday Craft Market are all within easy walking distance of the cottage, The famous Saturday Morning market is a 10 minute walk up the road and the pristine , blue flag Grotto Beach a 7km drive in the car.
