Hermanus - Such a beautiful stay

A beautiful house - well equipped and managed well by Firefly Villas. Would suggest the description of swimming pool is better described for marketing purposes as a plunge pool. There is everything in this house to make a stay very enjoyable and we loved the farmstead like patio overlooking the garden. Not a complaint but an observation, the electric gate did not work, had to be opened and shut manually and the hedges really needed a trim. minor details but would have made a difference. Any hiccups, queries we encountered were dealt with professionally and promptly with the management team.

Loved our time at this beautiful spot! The location was perfect. Easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants ... but we spent most of our time enjoying the house itself. We made cozy fires inside and outside for braais, and there was plenty of space for the whole family to gather and relax. The home was cozy, spacious, and well-equipped for everything we needed. Our host was super helpful and responsive. Would recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing Hermanus getaway!
