Which area of Hermanus is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
For pet-friendly hotels in Hermanus, the best area to stay in is the central Hermanus CBD and the nearby Westcliff area.

The Hermanus CBD is the heart of the town, offering easy access to the scenic cliff path, Gearing's Point, and the Old Harbour. You'll find a selection of shops, restaurants with outdoor seating, and art galleries along Main Road and Harbour Road. This area is very walkable, making it convenient for short strolls with your pet. Many establishments here are accustomed to welcoming well-behaved dogs.

The Westcliff area, located just west of the CBD, is another excellent option for pet owners. It's a quieter, more residential part of town but still within walking distance of the cliff path and the town centre. Hotels here often have more expansive grounds or are closer to open spaces, which can be beneficial for pets. It's a good choice for those who appreciate a slightly more relaxed setting while still being close to amenities.
How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Hermanus?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in Hermanus?
The best area to stay in Hermanus for pet-friendly activities is around the coastal paths and specific beaches, particularly those near the town centre and along the scenic routes.

The coastal path, known as the Cliff Path, stretches for about 12 kilometres and is a central feature of Hermanus. It runs from the New Harbour all the way to Grotto Beach, offering stunning ocean views. While dogs are welcome on the path, they should be kept on a lead. This path provides access to several coves and smaller beaches where dogs can often run freely, such as Fick's Pool and the area around the Old Harbour.

For couples travelling with their dog, staying near the centre of Hermanus allows easy access to the Cliff Path for morning and evening strolls. Many guesthouses and hotels in this area are pet-friendly and are within walking distance of dog-friendly cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating. The proximity to the Old Harbour also means you're close to boat trips and other activities, although pets might not always be allowed on all excursions.

Families with dogs will find the area around Grotto Beach appealing. While the main section of Grotto Beach has restrictions for dogs during peak season, there are often designated areas where dogs are permitted to run and play, usually further along the beach away from the main swimming sections.
What amenities should I look for in a pet-friendly hotel in Hermanus?
When selecting a hotel in Hermanus for you and your pet, look for amenities like food and water bowls, pet-friendly outdoor spaces and pet beds. You may find hotels that go the extra mile with pet-friendly dining options, treats and toys. It's also worth looking to see if there are any pet-friendly parks or walking trails nearby.
