House to rent in Hermanus

A rare opportunity to rent an iconic home on a dreamy plot in the Hemel & Aarde Valley, adjoining idyllic vineyards. This beautiful historic building was once used as a church and is still known as Die Kerksaal.

In addition to the main house' four bedrooms and ample space, the garden cottage, known as Die Biblioteek, is an excellent space as guestroom, office or crafts room. It features a living area with fireplace, bathroom (with shower), kitchenette and a loft bedroom.

Surrounded by abundant birdlife, the property enjoys its own spring water supply and solar back-up system, offering sustainable and independent country living.

The home blends timeless charm with spacious living and gorgeous valley views. It features four large bedrooms, two with built-in cupboards, and three bathrooms. The main bedroom has an ensuite (shower, basin, and toilet) and a small reception room with a door to the outside. The other bedrooms share a full bathroom and a guest bathroom (with shower). Three out of the four bedrooms have garden and vineyard views.

Original wooden floors remain in three bedrooms, the hallway, and living room, preserving the home's heritage character.

The kitchen has space and plumbing for three under-counter appliances, and the owner will install a stove if tenants don't have their own. Just outside the kitchen is a built-in braai area, perfect for sheltered outdoor entertaining. The open plan living / dining room has a massive indoor fireplace and the original high pine ceilings.

A as small putting green is next to the master suite and available for tenants to enjoy. The property is pet friendly, fenced, and offers good security, with a carport for two vehicles and a storage room behind it.

Only a short drive from Hermanus, this home offers space, history, and serenity in a sought-after valley.
