Pet Friendly Hotels & Resorts in Hermanus from NZ$111

For pet-friendly hotels in Hermanus, the best area to stay in is the central Hermanus CBD and the nearby Westcliff area.


The Hermanus CBD is the heart of the town, offering easy access to the scenic cliff path, Gearing's Point, and the Old Harbour. You'll find a selection of shops, restaurants with outdoor seating, and art galleries along Main Road and Harbour Road. This area is very walkable, making it convenient for short strolls with your pet. Many establishments here are accustomed to welcoming well-behaved dogs.


The Westcliff area, located just west of the CBD, is another excellent option for pet owners. It's a quieter, more residential part of town but still within walking distance of the cliff path and the town centre. Hotels here often have more expansive grounds or are closer to open spaces, which can be beneficial for pets. It's a good choice for those who appreciate a slightly more relaxed setting while still being close to amenities.

The best area to stay in Hermanus for pet-friendly activities is around the coastal paths and specific beaches, particularly those near the town centre and along the scenic routes.


The coastal path, known as the Cliff Path, stretches for about 12 kilometres and is a central feature of Hermanus. It runs from the New Harbour all the way to Grotto Beach, offering stunning ocean views. While dogs are welcome on the path, they should be kept on a lead. This path provides access to several coves and smaller beaches where dogs can often run freely, such as Fick's Pool and the area around the Old Harbour.


For couples travelling with their dog, staying near the centre of Hermanus allows easy access to the Cliff Path for morning and evening strolls. Many guesthouses and hotels in this area are pet-friendly and are within walking distance of dog-friendly cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating. The proximity to the Old Harbour also means you're close to boat trips and other activities, although pets might not always be allowed on all excursions.


Families with dogs will find the area around Grotto Beach appealing. While the main section of Grotto Beach has restrictions for dogs during peak season, there are often designated areas where dogs are permitted to run and play, usually further along the beach away from the main swimming sections.
