Hermanus Backpackers & Budget Accommodation offers accommodation close to the centre in Hermanus. It has an outdoor pool, TV lounge and billiard table.

The rooms have access to a shared or private bathroom and there is also a mixed dormitory. Linen and towels are provided.

There is everything to like about this property. The location is wonderful with the promenade and the beautiful cliff trail being just a two minute walk away. The property is very well maintained and the rooms are excellent. We had actually booked a twin room but since room was not prepared in time, we were upgraded to a family room at no extra cost. The hospitality of the staff was top notch, especially the lady who runs the place. She guided us perfectly and though our stay at Hermanus was very short, we were able to tick all the right boxes in a limited time. If a slow holiday in a warm and lovely place, with adequate dose of hospitality and the fresh sea breeze is what you are looking for, then this is the place for you.

    The location is absolutely breathtaking, as we were on the beachfront. The rooms are big and cosy and you can hear the sound of the waves crashing while laying cosy in bed. There was everything you needed for a home away from home. My favourite part was being able to watch the kids explore the rock pools while watching from our window.

    Perfect location, great breakfast, very comfortable beds and pillows and very kind host. We loved the common room with large terrace and bar. The proximity to the beach, and to the sea path where we enjoyed the most beautiful sights despite a rainy weather.

    Quality of the bed linen, towels, glasses, beach towels. All our needs were anticipated. A 10 min walk into town along the coastal road was perfect. Our room had a lovely ocean view. Gin and tonics at 5pm was fabulous. The staff were exceptional, helpful and warm and funny! I had a brilliant facial.

    We stayed for the third time at Hermanus Beachfront Lodge. Outstanding location, just on the beach, can enjoy fantastic sea view and sunsets from the balcony in the room. It is a quite part of Hermanus, but lots of restaurants/shops are just 5-10 min drive away. Rooms are specious and comfortable. Breakfast delicious. Staff is very professional and friendly. Our special thanks to Nomsa for all her efforts to make our stay memorable and so enjoyable. She is a real asset for the business.

    A beautiful large room and just as large bathroom, delicious breakfasts with great coffee and service! Overlooking the sea, we had the most magical view of the ocean from every corner of the room. Central to everything and great walks along the seaside.
