Property Focus: Dolphin Apartments – Vermont’s Most Spacious 3-Bedroom Ocean View

When searching for the perfect coastal getaway, space and scenery are usually at the top of the list. If you are specifically looking for 3 bedroom apartments in Hermanus, the search often leads to the tranquil, upscale suburb of Vermont. Here, tucked away from the bustling town center yet close enough to enjoy all the action, lies Dolphin Apartments—a sanctuary of comfort and panoramic blue horizons.
Hermanus is world-renowned for its whale watching and wine routes, but the choice of accommodation defines the experience. Dolphin Apartments offers a sophisticated self-catering experience that balances the rugged beauty of the Atlantic coastline with the modern amenities required for a seamless holiday.

The Charm of Vermont: Hermanus’ Best Kept Secret
Located just a ten-minute drive from the Hermanus CBD, Vermont is a suburb defined by its green belts and conservation-conscious community. Unlike the busier tourist hubs, Vermont offers a quieter, more residential feel that appeals to families and groups seeking peace.
One of the area's highlights is the Vermont Salt Pan, which frequently hosts a vibrant population of flamingos. The suburb is also connected to the famous Onrus coastal path, providing a scenic route for morning jogs or sunset strolls along the rocky shoreline.
A Deep Dive into Dolphin Apartments
Dolphin Apartments consists of two distinct units designed to cater to different traveler needs, but it is the Apartment with Balcony and Sea View that truly stands out for those seeking spaciousness.
The 3-Bedroom Sanctuary
This unit is a premier choice for families or groups of six. Each of the three bedrooms is elegantly decorated, featuring plush double beds and premium linens.
- The Layout: The apartment includes an en-suite bathroom with a shower, complemented by a full private bathroom for the rest of the guests.
- The Kitchen & Dining: For those who love to cook, the kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances. The streamline dining area provides the perfect setting for long, lazy breakfasts before heading to the beach.
- The View: Perhaps the most captivating feature is the lounge and balcony. Large windows frame the ocean, and the balcony serves as a front-row seat to the seasonal whale migrations.

The Studio Option
For couples or solo travelers, the Studio with Sea View offers a more intimate setting. It features a double bed with exquisite linen, a well-appointed kitchenette for light meals, and a dedicated eating space with bar stools. Like its larger counterpart, it includes DStv and high-speed Wi-Fi.
