Historically, the home of The Maple Leaf Bakery many years ago and run by the Mason Family, The Mayflower now stands recently renovated and proud in this quaint street, lined with fisherman’s cottages. Older locals will relate their stories of how they would wait in line at the bakery to buy their fresh bread each day while discussing their catch of the day!

We look forward to welcoming you to our lodging in Hermanus – The Mayflower – and hope you will find it a very comfortable place to stay in Hermanus

The Garden Cottage

A charming and characterful 2-4 sleeper self-catering cottage, with fireplace, that stands happily in its own enclosed, pebbled and paved, lush, small garden that is rich with bird life.  Enjoy the peace and quiet. Listen for the blowing of the whales, the calls of seagulls and distant rumbling of waves as you unwind and relax in comfort.

The Courtyard Suite

Comfortable, cosy and serene, The Courtyard 2 sleeper Suite is ideal for that getaway after a busy day’s shopping at the village art and craft markets. Kick off your shoes, read a book or watch a movie of your choice and enjoy the freshly baked fare and preserves you’ve just bought from the nearby Farmer’s Market…

The Loft

After a long day at the beach, this lovely, light and spacious 2 bedroom, upstairs Loft, invites you to enjoy its relaxed holiday ambiance. Awake in the mornings, refreshed, to the twittering of the birds in the large surrounding trees and the fresh smell of the gentle ocean sea breeze.

The Rose Room

Return from a stroll and refreshing swim in the tidal marine pool and retire in the romantic and spacious Rose Room that accommodates 2 persons in the main bedroom and 2 persons in the adjoining sun room on a pull out sofa bed.  Be surrounded by attractive furnishings and fabrics, reminiscent of a gracious era, along with high ceilings, long sash windows and understated luxury.
