Chesham House is a comfortable, family style Bed and Breakfast in Hermanus, well known for its informal atmosphere and great location. It has 8 rooms to choose from and can accommodate up to 17 guests. We do not accept any large group bookings (using the venue for party groups) as we are situated in a quiet residential area. Chesham House itself is on Millionaire's Mile, only a few meters away from the ocean. It lies opposite one of the famous whale watching sites in the region, called "Die Gang" The Passage. Also, close by, are several well-known cliff paths, mountain trails and the Hermanus Golf Course is just around the corner. Chesham House offers an inviting swimming pool, set in a spacious garden. Other facilities include coffee and tea in all the rooms and internet access. Most rooms have televisions, with SABC 1, 2, 3 and eTV. We do not have braai facilities, and we do not host large groups (unless the purpose of the visit is clarified), or private parties.
