“The Nantucket strikes me as a well-positioned Hermanus option; those ocean views are a real draw, even if shared balconies can be a slight drawback. I imagine whale-watching from here would be quite special, and I like the self-catering setup for longer stays. The proximity to nature reserves sweetens the deal for outdoorsy types.”
