Never At Home Hermanus

Welcome to never@home, where accommodation meets adventure!

Our Hermanus hostel is ideally located just 400 metres from the famous Hermanus Cliff Path (keep an eye out for whales and dolphins!) and only 800 metres from the town centre, placing you within easy reach of vibrant cafés, restaurants, boutique shops and art galleries. Hermanus is world-famous for its spectacular whale watching, and we are also just a 10-minute drive from the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, home to some of South Africa’s most celebrated wine estates. What truly sets us apart, however, is our family – the never@home crew. We’ll make you feel safe, welcome and right at home… so much so, you might never want to leave!
