Luxury travel to South Africa must include a trip to the town of Hermanus near Cape Town, and an overnight stay (at least!) at Ocean Eleven Luxury Guest House.
The Ocean Eleven Luxury Guest House is situated on the Cape South coast of South Africa, in the quaint coastal town of Hermanus on Walker Bay. Although the Hermanus village is small, it has a city-like infrastructure and, having been a popular coastal holiday destination for over a hundred years, there are a myriad of things to see and do.
Ocean Eleven is a Cape Cod, Colonial style luxury guest house, situated on the famous cliffs of Hermanus. The picturesque mountains beyond gently embrace the phenomenal, all encompassing vista of Walker Bay. In keeping with the utter elegance of Colonial architecture, the Ocean Eleven main house was built with high ceilings, tall windows and teak floors, all features – and thus the grace and style – have been retained to this day.
Ocean Eleven Luxury Guest House boasts ten beautifully appointed rooms made up of three standard, five deluxe and two suites, each with an all-embracing sea view over Walker Bay.
Hermanus offers absolutely breathtaking scenery of the endless blue ocean, and is the prime spot for whale-watching in South Africa.

Ocean Eleven Guest House Activities
Whale Watching
Hermanus, with its infamous cliffs boosting incredible views over the ocean, can be easily described as one of the best places in the world to come and see Southern Right whales. The best time to spot the whales is between May and December when they leave their Antarctic feeding ground and travel to the warm waters of the Cape Coast. All along this coast, as well as from the comfort of The Ocean Eleven Luxury Guest House, avid whale watchers can see the Southern Right Whale swimming and simply interacting within the sheltered bays and coves where they venture close to the shore to mate and give birth to their young.

Ocean Eleven Guest House Reviews
“Well what can one say, this small B&B is a gem , 1. The position is superb , over looking the sea, crashing waves , walks along the coast path. 2. Rooms, we were in number 6 very nicely decorated with your own private deck with chairs and umbrella. 3. Staff, could not do enough for you. And 4.. Well tha breakfast, we truly think it’s was the best we have ever had, all local produce, fruit to die for and wonderful eggs , oh and the bed I think it was one of the best sleeps on this wonderful holiday. Really hope we are able to come back to South Africa” –surreyBrenda
“You would be hard pressed to find a better location in Hermanus or rooms with a better view! The rooms themselves are pretty nice but I missed the small details that would make this a 5 star guest house. The breakfast was pretty good too. All in all, I think it is good value for money and will definitely consider in the future” –PeterGrobler
“I couldn’t decide if i was drunk off the view, the linen, the lilies softly scenting the room or just drunk off happiness but whatever it was, i want to go back! The shower has a heated towel rack, the soaps smell lovely, the linen is so comfortable you don’t want to get out of bed, the doors open to the pool. It was all lovely. just lovely.” –WhereNextNYC
