Troon Beach Cottage: The Ultimate No-Loadshedding Luxury Stay Near Grotto Beach

Troon Beach Cottage: The Ultimate No-Loadshedding Luxury Stay Near Grotto Beach

There is a specific kind of magic that belongs only to Hermanus. It’s in the crisp 'champagne air,' the rugged beauty of the fynbos-lined cliffs, and the rhythmic roar of the Atlantic Ocean. But even in paradise, the modern traveler faces a uniquely South African challenge: loadshedding.

Enter Troon Beach Cottage—a sanctuary where luxury meets uninterrupted comfort. Positioned a mere 100 meters from the shoreline, this architectural gem offers more than just a place to sleep; it offers a front-row seat to the best of Walker Bay, powered by the sun.

A Location Beyond Compare

Location is everything when visiting the Whale Capital of the World. Troon Beach Cottage sits in a prime position in the Voelklip area, offering an enviable lifestyle of coastal convenience.

  • The Beach at Your Doorstep: You are just a two-minute walk (100 meters) from the sand. Whether you prefer the expansive sands of Grotto Beach (a Blue Flag favorite) or the surfing vibes of Voelklip, both are within a three- to five-minute stroll.
  • The Cliff Path: A two-minute walk brings you to the entrance of the world-famous Cliff Path. This scenic trail stretches all the way to the Old Harbour in town, offering spectacular fynbos and whale-watching vantage points.
