About The Gregoire

Make this boutique hotel your next fairy-tale castle
Right on the edge of the famous cliff path of Hermanus, the Gregoire Boutique Hotel and Spa offers sensational views and old world charm. All eight of the suites are as elegant as the hotel's lounge and manicured garden, and the ocean and mountain vistas are spectacular - especially when enjoyed from the pool, chilled drink in hand. And if you can tear yourself away from the creature comforts of the hotel, pop down to Hermanus, a charming little town filled with boutique shops, wholesome eateries, and a promenade perfect for whale watching.

Property details

The property

After said hearty breakfast, spend the morning soaking up the sun by one of the three swimming pools, shades on and book in hand. The Gregoire is usually booked on a bed-and-breakfast basis, but the team will happily prepare you a light lunch and sumptuous dinner if booked in advance. In the evening, retreat to the ever-stylish lounge and sink into the leather sofas with a drink from the bar. We can tell you that the wine selection is magnificent!

The rooms

The eight rooms at The Gregoire are light and bright, and modern yet reassuringly old fashioned - think vast wooden four posters, thick curtains and plush carpets. All are beautifully decorated in soft, muted tones whilst unique Objects du Art bring each room to life and exude old world Victorian charm. The ensuite bathrooms are spacious and fresh; all have showers and some have enormous, freestanding tubs too. Finishing touches include a complimentary fruit bowl, a selection of Nespresso coffees and some seriously lovely toiletries.

Activities

Delight in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley - where the rich soil and perfect climate produces award-winning wines - with a unique wine tour, or take a gentle stroll along the famous Cliff Path, keeping your eyes peeled for whales, dolphins and seals. There are plenty of coffee shops and quirky boutiques in Hermanus to keep you busy too, and if adventure is your thing, there's sea kayaking and diving with great white sharks nearby - but best do those before the vino!

It’s famous for whale-watching, but the wine is also worth a taste in this laidback coastal town.
