The villa’s four wings embrace a central courtyard and pool, ensuring at atmosphere of family living and togetherness without compromising on private spaces and opulent opportunities for entertainment such as the bar and billiards room.

Stepping into Fernkloof Villa, guests are greeted by a spacious living area, adorned with plush furnishings and bathed in natural light streaming in from the central courtyard through large floor-to-ceiling windows. The open-plan design seamlessly connects the living room to the sleek kitchen, where culinary enthusiasts can indulge their passions amidst top-of-the-line appliances and ample counter space.

There is even a separate back-end service kitchen for the more serious gourmet chefs or caterers (which can be provided upon request).

Moving toward the villa’s light-filled central courtyard reveals another expansive living and dining area where sliding glass doors institute the airy pleasures of indoor-outdoor living. Here the house congregates from all four corners to enjoy delicious meals and sun-drenched entertainment.

The villa’s five bedrooms are all individual sanctuaries, each meticulously designed to offer the utmost comfort. The master suite, a haven of sophistication, occupies the entire top floor and boasts a king-size bed, ensuite and panoramic views overlooking the lush surroundings. The other four bedrooms are all located off the central courtyard and come complete with queen-sized beds and ensuite bathrooms showcasing sleek modern design, with walk-in showers and deep soaking tubs for a touch of indulgence.

Of course, the outdoor spaces of Fernkloof Villa are a treatise in tranquillity. A central courtyard with a sparkling pool invites you to bask in the warm South African sun, while a covered alfresco dining area provides the perfect setting for enjoying meals against the backdrop of the stunning landscape.

Well-situated within and overlooking the Peter Matkovich-designed, 27-hole Hermanus Golf Club, Fernkloof Villa is the perfect escape for a golfing holiday. But there is no shortage of other sights, attractions and activities if swinging the irons isn’t your idea of the perfect getaway.

Hermanus itself is a picturesque coastal town and one of the most popular along the Cape thanks to its great swimming beaches, mountain views and unique wetlands. Hermanus is particularly renowned for its whale watching. In fact, the town is recognised by the World Wildlife Fund as one of the 12 best whale watching destinations in the world. The town itself is brimming with bars, restaurants, cafes, art galleries and boutiques. Don’t forget to take a scenic walk along the coastline, taking in the Hermanus Cliff Path Biodiversity Walk and Whale Rock; make sure to keep your eyes peeled for Southern Right whales breaching in Walker Bay.

If exploring the area on foot or bicycle is up your alley, the neighbouring Fernkloof Nature Reserve is a pristine wilderness with an abundance of hiking trails showcasing the area’s diverse flora and fauna.

The Overberg region is also a beacon for wine lovers the world over thanks to its proximity to some of the best wine terroirs in Africa – acclaimed for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varietals. Make sure to delve into the renown Hermanus Wine Route which winds exquisitely up the Hemel en Aarde valley to take in some of the best local wineries and restaurants including Wine Village, Bouchard Finlayson, Spookfontein and La Vierge.

If a full day of exploring the big city is your idea of fun, Cape Town (2-hour drive) is not out of reach. The city is bustling with stunning beaches, museums, wineries, and of course the iconic Table Mountain.
