Whale watching along the False Bay Coast and Whale Route is a breathtaking experience from June to November. Southern right whales migrate here to breed and raise their calves, often seen breaching close to shore. Hermanus offers some of the best land-based viewing spots, making it a top destination for whale lovers.

Each year, the vibrant Hermanus Whale Festival celebrates these majestic creatures with fun events, music, and education for all ages. The festival highlights the importance of whale conservation and encourages visitors to experience the marine wonders responsibly.

Come and stay with us to enjoy the splendour of these giant creatures.

Simon’s Town is a historic naval town on the False Bay coastline, known for its charming streets, colonial architecture, and relaxed seaside atmosphere. Just 45 minutes from Cape Town, it offers a quieter alternative to the city without sacrificing character or convenience.

Boulders Beach is the town’s biggest drawcard, with its famous colony of African penguins and sheltered swimming spots. But there’s more to explore – local cafés, small museums, kayak tours, mountain trails, and scenic coastal drives make Simon’s Town a favourite for both weekend escapes and longer stays.

Perched above the coastline, African Sunrise is a grand, seven-bedroom holiday home with panoramic sea views, elegant interiors, and direct access to the boardwalk that leads to Boulders Beach. It’s perfect for families or groups looking for comfort, space, and a truly memorable coastal setting.
