Schulphoek Seafront Lodge, in Hermanus, is situated in a beautiful protected sanctuary right on the edge of the sea, with spectacular sea views from the sitting room and terrace. Southern Right Whales come right into the bay in front of the lodge to breed from July to November, and a coastal walking trail runs past the lodge. Seven spacious bedrooms, each individually decorated offer garden views. One bedroom, the Scallop room, is situated on the entire first floor and offers magnificent sea views from huge windows which run the length of the room. The Limpet room is also a favourite for all romantics. Each room has solid hand-crafted wooden beds, percale cotton linen, overhead fans, wall heaters, safe, seating area, TV/video and tea/coffee facilities and the bathrooms are modern with bath and shower, sometimes spa baths.
The atmosphere is relaxed, warm and inviting with an emphasis on good quality cuisine. The dining room with uninterrupted sea view offers a four-course menu du jour with delectable seafood and venison dishes, herbs and vegetables picked from the potager and over 7000 bottles of regional wine. There's a professional kitchen and guests are invited to join in the planning and watch the preparation of their meals. Guests usually eat around one long table and drinks are on an honesty system. A complimentary dinner is offered to all guests who stay two nights or more.
Enjoy the heated salt water pool and Jacuzzi in the Summer House in the garden. Other activities at the lodge include whale-watching from the terrace, table tennis, satellite TV, petanque, reading in the small library and reflexology and shiatsu treatments by appointment. Schulphoek is in the quiet Sandbaai area of Hermanus but just 5-10 minutes drive from the busy town centre. TGCSA 5 star lodge.
Children are welcome by prior arrangement. However please note that only 1 or 2 rooms are suitable to take a third bed and therefore children will usually have to take their own room at full adult rates. |
