About Us
Our Story
Where It All Began
My vision took shape within a few weeks of making the decision to stay, which was to offer a relaxing and luxurious space for visitors to enjoy and return to. With this in mind, I took a bit of both of my loves – African and European – and built a style and guest house around that. The rooms are all decorated according to this style, and the common areas offer a taste of eclectic African charm, with a European flair.

What People are Saying
“A Great Find”
“I felt so at home, Petra (the owner) really makes you feel welcome and at ease. Perfectly located near the nature reserve and away from the busy and potentially noisy town centre, an awesome place to spend some time in Hermanus.”

“Absolutely stunning”
“We had a tremendous stay at Von Abercron Residence. It is a beautiful house just a short drive from the waterfront area. Gorgeous view, and the perfect place to have the free breakfast provided with your stay.“

“Relaxation”
“An excellent and very roomy guesthouse, well maintained with a fabulous view of the mountains. We’ve had a tasty continental type breakfast every day – next to the pool and practically in the next door nature reserve. Highly recommended. “
