Where It All Began
Established in 2001, Petra Von Abercron started the Residence after visiting South Africa for the first time and instantly falling in love with the area of Hermanus. The dream to emigrate to this wonderful country began then and there and she worked tirelessly to create the Von Abercron Residence.
Her vision was to offer a relaxing and luxurious space for visitors to enjoy the area from and, ideally, return to. With this in mind, she has taken a bit of both of her loves – African and European – and built a style and guest house around this theme. The rooms are all decorated according to this style, and the common areas offer a taste of eclectic African charm, with a European flair.
“This place is a passion for me and I have loved creating this space for guests to enjoy. I hope to welcome you soon!”
