Ridge House is a luxury guest house overlooking Hermanus. The Ridge House is conveniently located only 1.6 km from the centre of town, yet close to nature, bordering the Fernlkoof Nature Reserve. Beautiful fynbos mountain walks are on our doorstep, and the Hermanus cliff path is within easy reach, boasting some of the worlds best land-based whale watching in season.
Comfortable accommodation is offered in 4 tastefully furnished suites, all with private decks and beautiful views. The suites are generous in size and have individual open-plan lounges, bedrooms, and sumptuous en-suite bathrooms, with walk-in showers or freestanding baths. All suites come with king-sized beds made up of quality 100-percent percale linen, large cotton towels, in-room tea- and coffee-making facilities, free high-speed uncapped Wi-Fi, a hairdryer, and a digital wall safe.
Three of our suites - The Aloe, Rockpool and Botanical, each feature private Kolkol wood-fired hot tubs on their decks with stunning views. These suites also have private braai facilities and self-catering kitchenettes. The private hot tubs and decks offer spectacular views across the fynbos to Walker Bay.
At the heart of the guest house is a central lounge, dining and bar area, featuring a deck with 180-degree panoramic views, from which you can see both the sunrise and sunset.
Breakfast is served in the dining area, or in the room by arrangement. The focus is on quality local ingredients, and special dietary requirements can be accommodated.
The spacious, sheltered garden with campfire boma offers guests a relaxing evening experience under the stars. The garden is a haven for birds and small wildlife, and you can look forward to seeing guinea fowl, owls, sunbirds and many other endemic species during your stay. The resident mongoose might even make an appearance. The guest house offers safe and secure parking, storage for bicycles, and braai facilities in the garden.

Had a wonderful stay, place is 5 star. Hot tub is a winner.
Hosts were amazing. Will definitely be back.
Celebrating my wife's birthday, Linda surprised her with an unforgettable breakfast surprise. Well done you two.
It was a very good experience.
Ridge House has everything you need for a good night's rest on your way through Hermanus.
Linda and Martyn are excellent hosts. The solar power greatly helped with the Eskom outages. The best was for sure the hot tub. Would like to stay much longer next time. Beautiful views and close to restaurants.
