A fire-hit holiday site overlooking Winterton's scenic dunes is looking to rebuild and add two new holiday flats.

The blaze tore through the Hermanus holiday centre's games room and saw a fleet of eight fire crews rush to the scene in August 2021.

Had it not been for the swift actions of firefighters working to stop the fire spreading it could have been a lot worse with guests evacuated and roads sealed off.

At the time people reported plumes of smoke rising from the site, known for its pastel-coloured thatched round houses, and drone pictures revealed the extent of the devastation.

Now the owners have applied to rebuild the affected areas with a wifi lounge and retro games room with two holiday flats above.

The existing main entrance will not be affected and there is sufficient parking to serve the new units, a design and access statement submitted along with the plans states.

At the time of the fire the manager thanked the public for the messages of support and the fire service for their "brilliant work."
