Voelklip, Hermanus

This double-storey home sits at the foot of the mountains with views that do not quit. From the upstairs – lounge, dining room and kitchen – you are looking at the Klein River lagoon, the ocean, and the mountain backdrop. The main bedroom, with French doors leading onto the patio, has the most amazing mountain views. These are not afterthought views; the spaces are oriented to them.

The upper level is where the home works. The lounge and dining room flow into each other, each opening onto its own balcony – one capturing views over the lagoon and Walker Bay beaches, the other over the garden and the magnificent mountains – both are positioned for entertaining. Windows throughout, frame the views without the space feeling cramped. The kitchen is compact and practical with proper storage and a layout that does not waste steps.

The upstairs main bedroom is generous. It has a large en-suite bathroom, good cupboard space, and a nook for a study or reading corner. Downstairs are two further properly sized bedrooms, sharing a large bathroom. On the opposite side, is the double garage that is longer than standard, currently with a dedicated laundry area – the space can be reconfigured as needed. A paved driveway provides ample additional parking.

The garden is one of the property's real strengths. It is mature, established, and thoughtfully planted with indigenous species and waterwise planting. Trees, palms, agapanthus and fynbos-type plants all growing well.

The home is well-maintained but honest about its age. The wooden windows and doors have character but do need ongoing maintenance. Recent work includes balcony repairs and structural crack remediation.
