The Thatch House
Hermanus

Accommodation
The Thatch House is an exclusive boutique hotel near Hermanus, offering six beautiful suites, exceptional cuisine and personalised service.

The four suites Pincushion, Waterfall, Lagoon and Flamingo are facing the lagoon and each have a master bedroom and a second bedroom with two single beds, making them ideal for families with children. There is a lovingly-manicured lawn in front of the house and a swimming pool overlooking the lagoon. Two further suites, Fern and Milkwood, each with one bedroom, are located at the rear of the house and offer mountain views. Between these two suites there is a second pool.

The Thatch House offers fine cuisine, using local products from the nearby Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, including speciality chardonnays and pinot noir wines from the area.

Location
The Thatch House is located about 10 minutes drive from Hermanus at Klein River Lagoon.

Hermanus is considered to be one of the world's best places for whale watching, either from land or sea. Some 2000 southern right whale migrate from the Antarctic to the warmer waters here in mid June to mate, calve and rear their young.

Did you know: A baby whale measures about 6 m in length at birth and drinks up to 600 litres of mother milk per day - a fully grown right whale can grow to 17 m long and weigh up to 90 tons.

Activities
The Thatch House offers a number of facilities to its guests including a games and TV room, floodlit tennis court, chipping and putting green, two swimming pools, gym, children’s play areas and non-motorised water sports. Boat excursions are available at an additional cost.

Hermanus has a golf course... and several lesser-known vineyards, all of which are worth a visit if time allows.

Whale watching is possible from land or sea from June/July well into December, either from Hermanus (ten-minute drive) or from Gansbaai (thirty-minute drive).

Sea Excurstion take place from Gaansbai the whole year. The tour heads to Dyer Island, where some 8000 African penguins and up to 120’000 cormorants choose to live. Located right next door is Geyser Rock, home to around 60’000 seals and their merciless predator, the great white shark, which hunts its prey in the aptly named Shark Alley. During the whale seasons, whales are usually present in large numbers too.
