Sophie’s Rock is a place where multigenerational families can gather for those idyllic seaside holidays, in the burgeoning age-old fishing village of Hermanus. Set on two levels of classic Cape Dutch architectural attributes, this property comprises of six ensuite bedrooms, including a bunk room, library, spacious living, dining, entertaining spaces, a tranquil courtyard and romantic stoep, a swimming pool with a braai and lounging pavilion, endless views of the ocean and Kleinrivier mountains. Just a pebble’s throw away from Sievers Point - where the whales love to wade about - you have immediate access to the winding pathways of East Cliff for long walks beside the sea, an easy amble to all of the lovely eateries and boutiques in the town, and a short trek to the mountain trails where spring reservoirs and flowing streams beckon your bathing suits. Its perfect location and tangible heritage introduces you, your family and friends to the authenticity of Hermanus, its unique community of seaside dwellers, and all of the adventures you wish to go on, from the doorstep of Sophie’s Rock. There is a lot to be said about Hermanus as a destination for families to venture to. Where days are spent surfing the slightly warmer waters of the Atlantic, traversing the mountain trails and exploring the surrounding areas that are brimming with equally thrilling and blissful activities. It’s a place that holds a history steeped in family rituals and traditions that can be reminiscent of every childhood. Sophie’s Rock is home to a thousand memories of family holidays spent beside the sea. Considered the old Dame of Eastcliff, many of the home’s features date back to the early 1900’s, telling a story about its past, yet at the same time, seamlessly marrying the stylish contemporary counterparts of the build. Refined furnishings, layers of texture, an abundance of natural flowing light, antique collectables and family heirlooms, long oak corridors and herringbone terracotta flooring all bring character to the modern conveniences of a state-of-the-art open-plan kitchen, uncapped fibre internet, a smart TV and sophisticated alarm system. It’s a seaside home that holds the space for you and your favourite people, to dive into the lifestyle that Hermanus has to offer. When you’re not occupying the swimming pool, or feasting around the table in the outdoor braai area, relaxing in one of the living spaces or simply snoozing under your hat on the verandah, you’ll be out and about with all that the town has to offer. From farmer’s markets to golf courses to tennis matches to foraging for mussels. All of the adventures await you and your team. And Sophie’s Rock will be the old maternal hug you come home to, to light the fires, prepare the boardgames, cue the family playlist and let the views whisk you out to sea and the mountain air glide through the courtyard. For that’s what holidays in Hermanus are all about - being surrounded by your favourite people, in a very familiar place.
