Amazing layover in a fabulous hotel, right on the seafront and easy walking to bars and restaurants. The staff, especially LeeAnne, couldnt have been more helpful and friendly.

Great hotel. Staff top notch, good safe secure parking. Easy safe 5 minute walk to all restaurants. Across from Whale watching beach/cliff. This place is a gem.

Great staff.
Really amazing accommodation especially the staff and the service. Recommended any day. Great location. Everything is nearby, ocean view is just right across the road if you don’t get the room with the ocean view.

Quirky.
The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff very pleasant, but this is not a boutique hotel but rather, quirky at best.

Outstanding! We had a huge, well decorated room which was immacuately clean with a fantastic view of the ocean. There was also plenty of secure parking on site. Customer service was excellent and the evening turn down service with complimentary chocolates was a nice touch. It was just a few minutes walk to the town centre with lots of restaurants to choose from.

Outdated, standard hotel
It’s a decent place to stay in, but nothing more. It’s not “boutique”, luxurious or special in any way. It also feels quite outdated, like it used to be something in the 90s. The best thing about it is the location, which is close to all the restaurants.

This hotel was great in every way, though maybe a little pretentious and in some respects a bit exaggerated. And no whales at our very moment, but of course we can’t blame the hotel for that :-). In principle you should be able to see the Southern Right Whales from your balcony. Moreover we saw tens of them in beautiful and nearby De Hoop NR.

Very happy with our stay the only issue we had was with the bed for our 16 year old son which the Sofa Bed had seen better days. Nice safe position and would stay again.

Response from Samantha on Jan 15, 2019
Thank you for your review. We usually only recommend the sofa bed for children aged 8 to 13, so I apologise that this was used for your 16 year old. We do have additional single beds that we could have used, and I apologise that this was not done. I am glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay and look forward to welcoming you back again.

Two nights in Hermanus.
The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful at all times. The room and bathroom were spacious and bright. We booked the honeymoon suite which had full sea view. We could watch the whales from our balcony. Breakfast was adequate but lacked in freshness and choice. Wifi was not great. The hotel is a pleasant 8-10 minute walk from the main restaurants and bars. However, overall, I think the hotel is over priced.

Not bad for a one night stay, but nothing special
Really nice and obliging staff elevate this somewhat odd hotel. The suite we had was huge, but strange and sparsely decorated, and the mountain view - well, there is a mountain, but the windows are frosted, so you are kind of peering at it over the frosted glass. We only stayed one night, and room service from the restaurant was surprisingly good food for the late night order. It's not an ocean view, but on a road by the ocean, so in nice weather, there'd be some lovely views to walk to.

In our opinion best hotel in Hermanus
Just spent 4 wonderful nights at this delightful home from home hotel. Next time we will stay longer. We had a room on the top floor which was massive and the room is one of the best we have ever stayed in and we travel very regularly. The furniture and fittings are very high class and have been carefully thought out. Unfortinately we didnt get to use the lovely big bath as didnt think it was right with water being in short supply during our stay. High quality bed linen, huge fluffy towels and dressing gowns are provided. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
