Ridge House: Bay Room

Perched on a hillside in a peaceful suburb of Hermanus, bordering Fernkloof Nature Reserve, this luxury guest house offers ocean views, tranquillity and a quiet but central location. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, or wish to be surrounded by fynbos a stone’s throw from a slew of attractions, Ridge House might be just what you’re after. What’s more, three of the four suites are equipped with a private outdoor wood-fired hot tub, for soaking up the sweeping views in style.

THE LODGINGS

The Bay Room lets you soak in the view of Hermanus and Walker Bay from your bay window bath, or your private sea-facing sundowner deck. The entrance patio has a gorgeous mountain view, is sheltered from the wind and creates a lovely north-facing, sunny patio for a winter afternoon. It has direct access to the garden and communal braai area.
