    Very comfortable and clean! We didn’t even feel the cold—it was so cozy inside. We booked both the loft and the three-bedroom unit; both were spotless, modern, and incredibly comfortable. A perfect stay.

Beautiful Abalone is situated at 4 & 3 Strand Street Westcliff, a quiet area close to the centre of all the activities Hermanus offers. Yet it is far from the town’s busy streets so you can enjoy your holiday in comfort and serenity. And, of course, it is close enough to the sea to breathe the excellent champagne air and go for endless strolls on the cliff path that stretches for miles and miles. A battery and inverter system installed at our properties spares our guests from the tribulations of Load shedding. Beautiful Abalone is the ideal house for a big family, a group of friends or tourists who want to explore the splendour of Hermanus and the sight of whales with their tales visible above the ocean's surface. The various units at 4 Strand Street consist of a double room, a family unit, a loft room and a separate garden flat, and at 3 Strand Street, a three-bedroom unit and a big family unit that will cater to the various needs of our guests. You are guaranteed to relax and explore one of the prettiest and most highly-rated tourist attractions in South Africa and the world. Please note that the Deluxe Queen Studio (Loft) is only accessible using a staircase and is unsuitable for kids or the frail and elderly who cannot negotiate a steep staircase.
We are a family of 5. Yvonne, my wife and I and our three kids love travelling and discovering new and beautiful places. We love adventure and African safaris. We love Paris, Europe, Mozambique, and Africa, which is in our blood. We believe Beautiful Abalone must be a home away from home, where our guests can come and unwind from everyday life and return rejuvenated and ready to take on the world. Welcome here, and please leave the sand and all your troubles behind.
Click for a larger view Click for a larger view If you want to explore the whole of the Western Cape without the buzz of a city, surely there can’t be a better place to stay than the picturesque town of Hermanus. If you want to stay in Hermanus, surely there can’t be a more affordable and more luxurious place to be than BEAUTIFUL ABALONE. Hermanus, officially the Whale Capital of South Africa, and in a sort-after Hemel & Aarde wine valley, is less than a 90-minute drive from Cape Town and most other beautiful and historical places you would like to see while visiting the region or being in sunny South Africa.
