Eirene

About »Eirene«

Eirene is a peaceful thatch roof self-catering cottage in Voëlklip, Hermanus.  Voëlklip with its famous swimming beaches is the well-known holiday suburb of Hermanus.

Eirene is picturesquely nestled against the mountain, overlooking the sea.  Ideally situated for whale watching, strolling along the famous cliff path, and hiking in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve in the Klein River mountains above Hermanus.

The cottage is on the slopes of the mountain very close to the Fernkloof Nature Reserve with its abundance of fynbos, the major vegetation type of the small botanical region known as the Cape Floral Kingdom.  Fynbos, or “fine bush” refers to the fine needle-like leaves of many fynbos species.  The international Blue Flag status Grotto Beach is about a 10-minute leisurely walk. 

The front stoep with its sea view is a cosy place to enjoy the tranquillity of a quiet corner of this popular seaside resort.

The cottage is fully equipped.

Corrie Smit is your hostess.  Needless to say, as the cottage is regarded as a single unit, guests have the cottage for themselves.
