Our host was highly responsive, accommodating and proactive. The cottage is comfortable and spacious and, while it was quiet and peaceful, we were also in close proximity to where we wanted to be.

Windsong is a huge suprise to everyone once they enter the Property with its beautifull courtyard full of luschious plants and white flowers! The interior is a pleasant warm welcome and fitted out with everything that you need to feel at home. Full DSTV, Uncapped WIFI, Electric Blankets in winter on all beds, bedding and mattreses of the highest quality for a good nights rest, and then for a bit of a get together in the fresh Hermanus air, an outside braai (barbercue) area . Windsong is literally 2 minutes from WOOLWORTHS , Checkers , all clothing, gift, wine, and interior stores and of course right in the middle of town just 5 minutes walk from the seafront to do some Whale Watching while walking the Cliff paths and enjoying a delicious meal at one of many RESTAURANTS and ART gallery's plus Salons for a bit of tender Love and Caring. Tuk Tuk services are available to do daily visits to Shark cage diving, whale watching trips, new harbour restaurants, wine route tours,golfing,etc,etc!!! We do everything to make your stay at Windsong Cottage as comfortable, convenient and relaxing as possible.
Myself and my Daughter, Teresa manage Windsong Cottage together as well as own it. We also have a Nail Salon around the corner from Windsong Cottage. We moved to Hermanus 24 yuears ago from Plettenbergbay and Love the area that we are at now. We enjoy hosting and have done so for 7 years and love the position that Windsong has in the CBD. We are also animal lovers and enjoy the outdoors and the beauty of this area tremendously.
I have soft businesses next door to us on either side and residential area's., Because Windsong is so Central we are next to the Checkers Mall with Hotel apartments, Hermanus Info and Holliday apartments and we are around the corner from Woolworths mall. This can get a bit busy and noisy at times like in any CBD area and then we have mostly very quite times to be enjoyed by the quests.
