Ridge House

Ridge House is a luxury guest house perched above Hermanus in the Western Cape, South Africa. Located less than two hours from Cape Town, this peaceful retreat offers four uniquely decorated luxury suites, each featuring private sea-facing decks with spectacular views across Walker Bay, the Cape mountains, and natural fynbos vegetation.

Three of the suites - the Aloe Suite, Rockpool Suite, and Botanical Suite - are equipped with private Kolkol wood-fired hot tubs. Each suite provides spacious, comfortable en-suite accommodation with premium amenities. The Aloe Suite, at 70 square meters, includes a log fireplace and full-length picture windows, while the Rockpool Suite features a hot tub nestled into indigenous rock and bush formations. The Bay Suite offers a unique bay window bath, and the Botanical Suite showcases abundant plant life with large glass doors opening onto its private deck.

Situated just a 10-minute walk or one-minute drive from Hermanus town center, Ridge House provides convenient access to world-renowned land-based whale watching along the Hermanus Cliff Path. The property's location offers the perfect balance of accessibility to local attractions while maintaining a serene atmosphere away from the town's bustle.

The surrounding area boasts numerous attractions, including fine restaurants, wine farms, galleries, boutique shops, hidden alleyways, and coffee shops. The property provides secure on-site parking for guests with vehicles and can assist with arranging taxis, transfers, and wine tours. Ridge House's position adjacent to hiking and mountain biking trails, coupled with its proximity to the Fernkloof Nature Reserve, makes it an ideal base for both relaxation and outdoor activities.
