Famous for its 'champagne air' and down-to-earth hospitality, Hermanus is an idyllic seaside holiday village, resting peacefully in one of the Cape's most glorious settings. With breathtaking scenery that unfolds along miles of cliff and mountain paths, this historic Cape fishing village is one of South Africa's best loved holiday destinations.

The Windsor Hotel is situated in the heart of the village, and right on the edge of the sea — offering spectacular panoramic views. This is a place where you'll experience nature. Where you'll taste fresh, salty air. Where you'll wake up to the sound of crushing waves. Where're you'll hear the call of the seagulls. Where your soul will be filled with the timeless beauty of the blue-green ocean. And, if you're here between May and October, where you'll meet the huge gentle giants who come to calve and play in the bay. At the Windsor Hotel, you'll get excellent service, personal attention and good, old, down-to-earth hospitality. Built by a certain Dr Hoffman in 1896 and recently renovated by Garth and Etricia Clark-Brown, the Windsor Hotel has always been a very popular resort hotel.

The Windsor Hotel has a total of 60 comfortable en-suite bedrooms with decor that invokes a Mediterranean atmosphere. Most of our rooms have twin or double beds, and single rooms are also available on request. During winter and spring, you can watch the whales play in the bay while you're lying in bed …
