“The host is reactive and helpful. The house is very well equipped for a family. We were there mid-August. There was a well functioning gas heater in the living room, so the bedroom and bathroom were a little bit cold, but still ok.”

Kelp Cottage, Botany House is in central Hermanus, only an hour and a half's drive from Cape Town. The Cottage is 100 metres away from the shops, restaurants, art galleries, cafes and Village Square, and sea views perfect for whale watching in season. Spacious and fully equipped, Kelp Cottage is your perfect base for exploring Hermanus. Blue flagged Grotto Beach is a short drive away, boasting plenty of hiking trails along contour paths of our rugged coastline.
