Hermanus Backpackers & Budget Accommodation

Westcliff, Hermanus

Hermanus Backpackers & Budget Accommodation offers accommodation close to the centre in Hermanus. It has an outdoor pool, TV lounge and billiard table.

You can engage in various activities, such as golfing and diving. Village Square is 1 km from Hermanus Backpackers & Budget Accommodation, while Hamilton Russel Vineyards is 3.6 km away. The nearest airport is Cape Town International Airport, 77 km from Hermanus Backpackers & Budget Accommodation. There is everything to like about this property. The location is wonderful with the promenade and the beautiful cliff trail being just a two minute walk away. The property is very well maintained and the rooms are excellent. We had actually booked a twin room but since room was not prepared in time, we were upgraded to a family room at no extra cost. The hospitality of the staff was top notch, especially the lady who runs the place. She guided us perfectly and though our stay at Hermanus was very short, we were able to tick all the right boxes in a limited time. If a slow holiday in a warm and lovely place, with adequate dose of hospitality and the fresh sea breeze is what you are looking for, then this is the place for you.
