Our most enjoyable days in South Africa. Can’t recommend this trip enough. Fabulous experience! - This was such a well organised and enjoyable three days. From the time we were collected in Cape Town we were so well looked after, entertained, fed and wanted for nothing. We loved the scenic drive and our visit to the penguins at Stony Point. Fiona and Bob are excellent but very natural hosts and we felt very comfortable in our spacious en-suite room in their lovely, well designed home. Having recently taken up pilates we really enjoyed Fiona’s 90 minute sessions and picked up lots of valuable tips for improvement. The hikes as well as pilates were tailored to our fitness levels and we enjoyed coastal as well as national park hikes in stunning scenery, We also enjoyed exploring Hermanus, a town full of character and, if you time it right, a harbour full of whales! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all home cooked and delicious. Healthy food, and traditional dishes were a welcome change from the international fare of Cape Town and I now have Fiona’s wholemeal bread recipe! The vineyard Fiona & Bob took us to was family owned and had delicious affordable wines. What really impressed us was that Fiona made contact before we left the U.K and gave us some useful and very helpful tips for our time in Cape Town. If we come back to South Africa it will be the first trip that we book again!

Great all around experience - What an all around great trip, the hiking was just amazing, Bob and Fiona certainly new all the great spots. The accommodation was also superb, with nice rooms and a beautiful garden and pool.

Stellar experience! - We had such a fantastic stay with Fiona and Bob! The space is just perfect. The bedroom and bathroom were lovely and clean. Not only did they give excellent suggestions on wineries and other places to visit, they took us on hikes! They are incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history and current news. A definite stop if you are heading to the Western Cape!

Amazing adventure in Hermanus - Lovely stay with Bob and Fiona in their beautiful home in Hermanus. We went on a hike where Fiona was an excellent source of knowledge on the local flora and fauna. Did a delicious wine tasting and even saw whales on our hike on the cliff path! Would absolutely recommend and we can’t wait to be back!

Just beautiful!!! - We spent very wonderful days at Fionas beautiful house, we were indulged by her with lovely south african meals and surprised with a picnique in the mountains after a relaxing walk through the finebos. We got to known wineyards all offside mainstream tourism. I highly appreciated the combination of activity, food, wine and nature with the warmth of the host! Thank you again!!

Unique South African experience - This is great introduction to South Africa. Fiona is a warm, informative and attentive host. We spent 3 days hiking, sampling the cuisine and wines of the Hemel en Aarde valley and doing Pilates 2 of the hikes traversed nature reserves with a wonderful sampling of the Cape flora and bird life. In addition Fiona provided delicious unique South African meals. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough.

Another DailyDelight! - Gratitude for having this special experience. Hosts Bob and Fiona are involved, committed, well informed and organised to present this excursion and experience. One can aspire to their energy levels. What a pleasure to be in the company of positiveness all around when spending time with them.

Experience not to be missed - I thoroughly enjoyed the guided hike through the Fernkloof Nature Reserve to the lookout point with breathtaking views over Walker Bay. Being spoiled by Bob's snacks we walked on to the Hamilton Russle wine tasting room. Wow, really good wine. Visiting the local Hermanus market with arthisan breads, yummy pancakes and excellent coffee was another highlight. Really good accomodation with hosts that is there to make sure you have an experience of a lifetime!!

Hike and wine pilates - Absolutely wonderful experience. Hiking, wine tasting and pilates all rolled into one. An absolute must for anyone who likes an active holiday. Fiona and Bob excellent hosts, going out of their way to make everything enjoyable for everyone. Superb accommodation, food and activities. Highly recommended.

Hike and Wine Pilates Hermanus - Entertaining hosts Bob and Fiona, very informative! Accommodation great, lovely relaxed atmosphere. Hi-light of trip was the walk from Fernkloof Nature Reserve to The Lookout point where we enjoyed brunch with a view, then off to wine tasting and lunch in the Hemel and Aarde Valley....and all on foot! Ending the day with Pilates! Wonderful!! 3 days well spent!
