Hermanus Lodge on the Green

Golf Course Luxury on the Edge of Town

Situated at the foot of the majestic Overberg mountain range, Hermanus Lodge on the Green offers a tranquil retreat overlooking the 25th green of the Hermanus Golf Course. This boutique establishment combines luxurious comfort with a prime location just minutes from the town center, pristine beaches, and the world-famous Cliff Path.

Accommodation with Character

The lodge features beautifully appointed bedrooms with different views and layouts to suit various preferences:

• Golf Course Facing Rooms - Premium rooms with private balconies offering uninterrupted views of the fairway
• Courtyard Room - Open-plan room with direct access to the swimming pool and a private patio
• Mountain Room - Features a private balcony with views of the Fernkloof Nature Reserve mountains
• Standard Rooms - Comfortable accommodation with all essential amenities

All rooms feature air conditioning, luxury bedding that many guests have praised as "the best we have seen in a long time," en-suite bathrooms, and modern amenities including free WiFi and satellite television.

A Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

The personally prepared breakfast is a highlight for many visitors. Served in the dining area overlooking the golf course, it includes a fresh fruit salad with at least ten different varieties, homemade muffins still warm from the oven, and made-to-order egg dishes. Early morning golfers can request takeaway breakfast packs - a thoughtful touch for those with early tee times.

Local Insights

Its location adjacent to the Hermanus Golf Club makes it ideal for golf enthusiasts, with the added charm of guinea fowl often spotted roaming the course at sunset. The property is also conveniently located near the Hermanus Country Market (held every Saturday) - perfect for sampling local artisanal foods and crafts.

Winter visitors will appreciate the cozy lounge with its inviting open fireplace - ideal for relaxing with a complimentary sherry while watching the shadows lengthen on the fairway. Summer guests can enjoy the sun-drenched swimming pool with mountain views or the private courtyard overlooked by the Fernkloof Nature Reserve.

Exploring the Area

While not directly on the seafront, the lodge is just a short drive from all major attractions:

• The famous 12km Cliff Path for premier land-based whale watching (June to November)
• Both the Old Harbour and New Harbour areas
• Blue Flag Grotto Beach for swimming and walking
• The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley for wine tasting

For those without a car, the lodge often provides a shuttle service to local restaurants in the evening - just enquire at reception for availability.

Best Time to Visit

While whale season (June to November) is the most popular time to visit Hermanus, the lodge offers year-round appeal. Summer visitors enjoy perfect pool weather, while winter guests appreciate the cozy fireside setting and the dramatic coastal scenery during storm season.

The lodge is part of the DCC Hotel Group, which manages several properties throughout South Africa.
