    Perfect for a relaxing break. Stylish decor, beautiful garden & a warm welcome from hosts Carol & Alan. We very much appreciated the platter & wine on arrival too! Quiet position close to the coastal path to Onrus. We've already planned our...

    Breakfast was not provided. We liked the location as it was a short walk to the beach. Our hosts were very friendly. The accommodation was well appointed.

    A beautifully decorated space that wraps you in comfort and calm. The welcome platter was a 5-star spoil. I only wish that I could've spent more time enjoying the cottage and less time working. Although it is a garden cottage with a shared garden,...

    The property is very nicely furnished and the owners who live on site are the best hosts you could wish to meet. Easy access to the beach, shops and the restaurants are only a 10 min drive. It was great to be met by owners who provided a starter...

A modern, self-contained, one bedroom garden cottage, in Sandbaai, Hermanus, is suitable for a single person or a couple, with wrap around balau deck, is situated in a large private garden with well-established trees. Enjoy a swim in the pool or just relax and enjoy watching the koi swim around lazily. Pop down to the Wine shop @ Hemel & Aarde Wine village and choose from a variety of MCC’s, SA gin or our very own local wines. Return to the garden where you can enjoy one of your spoils, whether it’s a cocktail at the pool or a glass of your favourite wine or bubbly on the deck, as you soak up the last of the day’s sun rays whilst getting ready for a leisurely braai/barbeque.
Saffron Cottage is approximately 4.5km from central Hermanus, a seaside town, which offers a fine array of top restaurants and many tourist attractions. Sandbaai beach is less than 600 steps away. Visit our local restaurant, Bamboo Beach, to experience their mouth-watering dishes, or take a picturesque walk along the coastal path to Onrus beach and enjoy a meal or sundowner at Milk Restaurant. For all your shopping requirements, the Whale Coast Mall is 1.9km from the cottage.
