The breakfast set out on the balcony was lovely. The service was good, however the quality of a couple of items did not match the setting. Orange juice was not freshly made, bacon reheated, eggs cooked as requested.

The location on the water and under the mountains is exceptional. Great ingredients cooked superbly were just what we needed after several 'fine dining' experiences! Fantastic staff who could not do enough for us.

Our host, Kosie, went out of his way to make our stay in Hermanus memorable. Even concerned about our safety when the storm wreaked havoc in other parts of the Western Cape. Kosie, along with the owner of the accommodation, advised us to stay an extra night, free of charge and to rather travel home when it was safe to do so.
Kosie and Owner, thank you so, so much for concerning yourself about your guests and put their safety ahead of monetary gain. Will definitely return to Hermanus, Voelklip for my next vacation.

Hermanus is a lovely coastal town with a great array of eating and drinking establishments. It has a nice feel about it and i wouldnt worry about walking around it on my own. The views are stunning and during the Whale Watching season it is truly breathtaking. There are some beautiful winerys around and lots to do. If you're coming over from the UK its great value for money.

Super wine farms nearby and other small towns to explore in the region. A great base from which to discover the Overberg region.

Friendliness of everyone was awesome.
Friendliness of everyone was awesome. Everywhere you went you felt safe and welcome. Very easy to get around. Loved the hiking trails. A must-have is comfortable shoes and clothes for all weather types, because you walk a lot and the weather changes very fast.

Beautiful Hermanus never disappoints as there really is...
Beautiful Hermanus never disappoints as there really is something for everyone. If you like the outdoors, there are mountain and sea activities available. For those who enjoy retail therapy, the town also offers a wide range of shopping experiences.
This was our first experience at a BnB and it was a great time! Evelyn who was our hostess was kind and got us settled in. The overall vibe was very Home-y and felt like I was a guest in someone's house. The entire place was very clean. The bed was probably the most comfortable I've ever stayed in. It was in a great location, we felt safe walking around the neighborhood which was mostly residential. Short walk or drive to restaurants and the Hermanus cliff walk. Definitely would stay again if coming to Hermanus.
Lovely, clean and comfortable rooms decorated just beautifully. The pool is great for a little afternoon siesta. Everything about the property was just terrific for our few days stay in Hermanus. Stefan is a master at putting together a fantastic breakfast, as is he a master at regaling great stories and advising on activities in the area - a perfect host with amazing energy who takes the safety and comfort of his guests very seriously. we loved staying at Penguino and would absolutely do it again!
The service is exceptional! nothing was too much trouble and the team went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. The front desk arranged dinner bookings for us. Breakfast is included the luxury of an a la carte menu, the coffee, pasties and cooked breakfast prepared and served professionally. The spa treatment (couples massage) is out of this world - again one of the best we’ve experienced. Overall this was the best place we’ve stayed in, in Hermanus.
A perfect serene stay in a quiet rocky bay (away from the hustle and bustle of central Hermanus). The room was enormous with a breathtaking sea view. Relaxed atmosphere throughout. Direct access to the coastal walking path. Onsite free parking with a daily car wash. Excellent breakfast with many different options. The hotel has the most outstanding staff (accommodating, efficient, knowledgeable) adding to the perfection. I dream of returning!
I was looking for a place with great views and the potential to spot whales right from your room and Hermanus Beachfront Lodge did not disappoint. We were able to see whales while sitting in bed (OK, in some distance, but still incredible!)! There is also a great walking path just a few metres from the hotel to explore the shoreline. Tito was a wonderful host who made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay.
The location, facilities, staff and style were all excellent. It is a wonderfully stylish hotel, appropriately relaxed for its seaside position. Grand architecture with modern facilities. The bedrooms were spacious and well-appointed, with generous mini-bars and lovely sea views. The lounge, pool and bar areas were comfortable and well served. The hotel staff were courteous and very helpful. We loved it.
Lovely boutique hotel right next to the Hermanus centre! The room has amazing sea views with a nice balcony and all the necessary amenities. Everything is clean, fresh and well thought! The lovely manager, Gilbert, made our stay even more enjoyable thanks to his help and friendliness !! The breakfast is great
Superb rustic lodging and grounds with a perfect location for Hermanus based excursions. Nice room with private access, good wifi and terrific breakfast. Super attentive staff and simply a delightful, secure place.
We liked the balcony looking towards the sea, the magnificent view. It is located perfectly by the trails and by downtown. Hermanus. Special efforts.have been done to build a nice guide in the room for the guests.
We always make Auberge Burgundy our home away from home in Hermanus and cannot fault it in any way. The staff are absolutely wonderful, the location is perfect and we love the look and feel of the hotel.
It was a very nice location, close to Hermanus waterfront, shops and restaurants. It was very neat and clean, like a self-catering hotel, and home-away from home. I'd definitely recommend Barford Haven.
We had such a lovely stay! A little outside of Hermanus, but we enjoyed the peace and quiet. It has a nice view on the balcony! Host was so kind and helpful. Nice shower with hot water! Wifi was good!
We absolutely love this hotel. This was our second time (we enjoyed it so much the first time we decided to book again). This is in our opinion the best hotel in Hermanus. You won't be disappointed.
It felt more like a boutique hotel. The rooms were spacious beds were soft and perfect. The location to the beach and the views are unparalleled. You are also walking distance distance from town.
Fantastic Stay! Dirk, the hotel owner, was extremely attentive and considerate. Out of our 10 days in South Africa, this stay was the highlight of our trip. We hope to visit again!
A very good hotel close to centre of Hermanus. Have stayed several times before and will definitely stay again. Great staff that along with secure parking draws us back .
