Robin's Nest Guesthouse is situated in a very quiet area. It is ideal for guest just wanting peace and quiet and to enjoy the beautiful view on the Onrus Mountains and the well kept garden. A sure paradise for bird lovers! What make the property very ideal is that is is nearby Hermanus but still out of the business of the town.
I have retired as a Occupational Health Nurse and I still have a passion for people and to make sure my guests are happy. I like to tour, gardening, and to hike in the beautiful area around us. I started photographing as a hobby and it is very rewarding
We are in a very secure complex and security is nr 1 for us. We are walking distance from the Hemel and Aarde Village with all their nice restaurants. Here are 2 Wine cellars nearby: Hermanuspietersfontein and Whalehaven Winery. Euodia cycles is walking distance, guest can hire mountain bikes and get permits to cycle on the nearby mountain bike trails. The guesthouse is at the beginning of the Hemel and Aarde Valley with all its interesting wine cellars such as Newton Johnson and Creation wines. The beautiful Onrus Beasch is only 3.5 km away In the whale season whale watching boat trips can be booked at the nearby NewHarbour
