About Harbour House Hotel
Harbour House Hotel is Hermanus's most characterful boutique hotel — a converted Victorian harbourmaster's building overlooking the old harbour and Walker Bay, the world's best land-based whale watching destination. The hotel's 16 individually designed rooms, each with sea view, and its ground-floor restaurant at the water's edge make it one of the Western Cape's most distinctive stays.
For golfers adding the Arabella and Hermanus Golf Club to their itinerary, Harbour House provides the most atmospheric base — historic, intimate, and right beside the whale-watching cliffs.

Victorian Harbour Setting
The old harbour's fishing boats, seals, and sea-spray form the hotel's foreground — an utterly unpretentious South African scene.
