Fodor's Expert Review Windsor

49 Marine Dr., Hermanus, Western Cape, 7200, South Africa

If you come to Hermanus anytime from July to November, consider staying at this hotel in the heart of town. It's a family-run hostelry that offers comfort but little pretense. Rooms are outdated, so the real reason to stay here is its position atop the cliffs, making it a great place to view the annual whale migration. Request one of the second-floor, sea-facing rooms, with sliding-glass doors and unbeatable views. During holidays, a games room with a pool table and table tennis is set up for older children. Breakfasts are ample.

PROS

  • world-class views of Walker Bay
  • in the heart of Hermanus
  • reasonable rates
