SA film maker Katinka Heyns' beach house on the border of Vermont and Onrus in Hermanus is on the market for the first time in 35 years.Irma Herbst, the Seeff agent in charge of marketing the property, said a major drawcard was that it is a corner plot “with unobstructed sea views as far as the eye can see”.
The property was bought 35 years ago by Heyns and her late husband, writer Chris Barnard. It served as the family’s holiday home and following the passing of her husband, she has decided to scale down. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and three reception rooms as well as two garages. It is sitting on 1,076m² land and is close to the Jan Rabie Tidal Pool. A walkway stretches in front of the property for kilometres with access to the tidal pools, the Brekfis Bay beach and nature reserve. The Onrus beach and lagoon is also a short walk away.
