Pacem offers a beautifully appointed self catering cottage in Voelklip, Hermanus, with magnificent views onto the mountain as well as sea views. Pacem is situated in a quiet area of this popular seaside holiday town.
The cottage is on the slopes of the mountain very close to the Fernkloof Nature Reserve with its abundance of fynbos, the major vegetation type of the small botanical region known as the Cape Floral Kingdom. Fynbos, or "fine bush" refers to the fine needle-like leaves of many fynbos species. The Blue Flag status Grotto Beach is about a 10-minute leisurely walk.
The main attraction of the cottage is the spacious open plan living area upstairs with its thatch roof which opens on a sunny stoep. From there you have the beautiful view on the mountain. The living room also features a dining area and kitchen. The built-in barbeque ensures a cosy get-together even during the stormy winter weather. Two large en suite bedrooms are on the ground floor.
The cottage is fully equipped.
Corrie Smit is your hostess. Needless to say, as the cottage is regarded as a single unit, guests have the cottage for themselves.
Inside:
Two large en suite bedrooms (sleeps 4) with a double bed and 2 single beds / king size bed on the ground floor. Linen and towels are provided. Open plan living area opening on a sunny stoep upstairs. The living room has a built-in barbecue. TV set / DVD. Kitchen with microwave oven, stove, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and drier. A pay phone is available.
Facilities:
The sunny north-facing stoep with its beautiful mountain view is a cosy place to enjoy the tranquility of a quiet corner of this popular seaside resort. Secure covered parking. Do your whale watching during the season from the kilometers-long cliff path or walk amongst the splendor of the fynbos on the mountain trails. Join the mountain trails after a 5-minute walk from the front door. A walk to the beach takes less than 10 minutes.

Hermanus, a very popular holiday resort, is a 90-minute drive (120 km) from Cape Town. Voelklip with its many holiday homes is a suburb of Hermanus and about 5 km from the busy town centre. Hermanus is one of the world's best land-based sites for whale watching (season - July to November). Or swim at the Blue Flag Grotto Beach, Voelklip Beach, Kamma Beach or Long Bay. A beautiful golf course, walking trails along the mountain slopes in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve and seashore, mountain biking, sailing and horse riding facilities, shops and numerous restaurants make visiting Hermanus a wonderful experience. A long late-afternoon walk on the seemingly endless Grotto Beach is one of the many reasons why visitors keep coming back to Hermanus.

Why the $elect Stays initiative?
- Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site. - Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity. - Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.

Terms & Conditions
- The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
- Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
- If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving. - The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
- The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
- The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
- The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
