The legendary hospitality and years of experience of owner Martin Delport and his small, well-trained staff are just what you would expect when considering a beach holiday, conference, comfortable business stay or luxury, albeit affordable, accommodation for a family holiday or weekend breakaway. Undoubtedly, the perfect location when your itinerary includes a visit to one of the four local wine routes, whale watching, a shark cage diving adventure or teeing off on a world-class golf course. The four local festivals that have become synonymous with the town; Hermanus Fynarts, Walkerbay Extreme, Kalfiefees, and the iconic Hermanus Whale Festival are all within walking distance.

The intimate, colourful decorated honesty bar has a friendly, companion-like atmosphere and has proven to be a popular meeting place returning after a day filled with sightseeing, activities, and adventure. Holiday and business guests love to network here over a glass of good whiskey, craft gin or local South African export wine.

Martin has transformed the site of an old power station into one of the towns’ most sought after accommodation establishments. Partly because of its central location but mostly because of the affordability, tranquil luxury, and the five-star hospitality.
