Rooms
Lavender Manor Guest Lodge offers individually decorated rooms, including Luxury Sea & Mountain View Suites and a Deluxe Two-Bedroom Family Suite. Rooms feature large balconies, comfortable beds, and en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Some suites overlook Grotto Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, while mountain-facing rooms provide views of the surrounding hills. In-room amenities include a flat-screen TV, mini-bar, and air conditioning.
Fresh Breakfast Daily
Each morning, guests enjoy a complimentary full English breakfast served on the terrace. The spread includes fresh croissants, watermelon and ginger preserve, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, and made-to-order eggs. Vegetarian and special dietary options are available on request. An honesty bar on-site offers wine, beer, and other drinks with ocean views.
Leisure
The property features an outdoor salt-water swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. Grotto Beach, a Blue Flag beach, is a short walk away. Guests can borrow bicycles, use binoculars for whale watching from the rooftop terrace, or arrange activities like boat-based whale watching, shark diving, kayaking, and hiking on the cliff path. Board games, a shared lounge, and a TV area provide indoor relaxation.
Near Beach and Town
Lavender Manor is located in the quiet Voelklip district of Hermanus, 100 km from Cape Town and 100 km from Cape Town International Airport. It is 500 meters from Grotto Beach and within walking distance of D utchies Restaurant on the beach. Hermanus town center, with its shops and restaurants, is a 5-minute drive away. Free private parking is available on-site.
Services
Owner-managed, the guest house offers concierge service for arranging whale watching tours, restaurant bookings, and wine tasting trips. A shuttle service and airport transfer can be arranged for an extra fee. Daily housekeeping, luggage storage, and keyless entry are standard. The lounge has a safety deposit box, and the property is equipped with CCTV and fire extinguishers for security.
“This guest lodge understands the appeal of its prime Hermanus location, placing guests mere steps from the beach and scenic cliff paths, a detail I found particularly compelling given the consistent praise for its breakfast and exceptionally comfortable beds. The communal areas, including a terrace with sea views, and the genuine warmth of the hosts seem to round out an experience that feels both luxurious and deeply welcoming, making it an easy recommendation for those seeking a coastal retreat.”
