There is so much to admire and appreciate about this wonderful spacious home and guest house, conveniently located to the town centre of Hermanus in the town's finest sunbelt, and a mere brisk five minute walk from arguably the most beautiful cliff path in the world! The sea has a different mood and texture every day and it is from this magnificent view point that one can witness, often close up, the safe and magical haven of the giant Southern Right whales that visit Hermanus every year between June and November during their calving season.
When you approach this quiet, serene, yet secure and welcoming five bedroom home, it's apt name 'The Gables' will immediately be understood.The property itself stands as a proud testament to the high standards and quality values of architecture, build, eco-efficiency and finishes of the current owners, who personally designed and constructed it in 2016. And it is their care and passion that permeates throughout the private home in the front section of the property, followed by the the four large independent luxury guest suits, the fourth one being a two bedroom private cottage at the far end of this generously sized property, measuring 1115m2.
Apart from an en-suite bathroom and kitchenette, each self catering guest suite has a large comfortable king size bed (convertible to two single beds if required) and a lounge with extra large size TV, WiFi, appliances, dining table and utensils, etc. Each installed with its own solar powered geyser, they have been luxuriously appointed and contemporary designed to create an open plan flow, leading out via large sliding doors onto their own private patios, great for celebrating the beautiful sunsets, enjoying alfresco dining overlooking the sparkling turquoise swimming pool or just soaking it all up on comfortable lounge sun-beds. All of this is set in the most enchanting beautiful sunny north facing garden, which is now just starting to sprout and flower with the approach of Spring.
On the guest house / self catering business aspect, with the large double garage and secure gated parking for four vehicles on the premises, the confirmed booking turnover for guest accommodation from August '25 to February '26 is already approaching R500K!
In order to appreciate the thoughtfulness, care and attention to detail that the owners have instilled into it since the first brick was laid, this very special property deserves to be viewed first hand. It would suit a single business-orientated owner, a youthful middle-aged couple wanting their own private independent home but with generous guest house income, or an emerging family looking to acquire a property of high value close to top schools and one of the most beautiful stretches of ocean on the Southern African coastline. All of this at a very reasonable price and with the added benefit of a strong income generating opportunity. The health centre hub of Hermanus also happens to be just around the corner, so may visitors often find this a beautiful, peaceful and quiet place to stay when visiting hospitalised family and friends.
To make an appointment to view, please call me ASAP. I look forward to hearing from you and to showing you this magnificent property! Kind regards, Paul Grinstead - Sotheby's Hermanus (Dual Mandate).
