    Everything was just as described. John and Lesley and all the staff, were lovely. Always offering good information and advice. The accommodation was very comfortable and roomy. Breakfast was excellent, especially liked the overnight oats in the fridge to eat at leisure. The pool was an added bonus, as were the pool towels provided.

    We stayed in the 2 room suite and it was large and very comfortable. The staff pay attention to the small details that make a big difference to comfort. There was muesli and yoghurt in the fridge so that guests could eat these at the leisure and not necessarily wait for breakfast time. The little patio outside our room was quiet and peaceful.

    The only thing that we didn't like was the distance to the restaurants. It doesn't take actually much time by foot, but because of load shedding we didn't feel very safe walking to the center in the dark. I would recommend you to take an uber, if you want to feel safer at night.

    We had a huge bedroom and bathroom, with everything that we needed. If we had had more time, we would have even had a bath in the tub (it was very clean!) The hosts were very nice and it was possible to check in later than planned. Thanks for everything!

    Our experience was based on a 1 night stay booked 30 minutes before arrival due to having to remain in Hermanus following a very severe storm. Everything was ready for us despite the very short notice. Very welcoming hosts; large and comfortable room; good breakfast.

    For the price we wouldn’t expect anything more than what we got. Great value for money.

    Very chilled out, old fashioned, home from home guest house close to all the attractions of Hermanus. We felt very relaxed staying here and John was so helpful with local knowledge and recommending places to visit. Loved the mid afternoon fruit and yoghurt delivery! Loved spending time by the pool!

    Private and Intimate Guest house with only a couple of rooms making you feel like you have the whole property to yourself! Loved the spacious room with sleeper couch for our toddler which was as comfortable as the huge main bed. 3 words that would sum up our stay: Comfort, Private, Hospitable. John was an amazing host, and you can see why he is the main driving success of the guesthouse. Walking distance to town with all the restaurants. Breakfast was good and staff were available early given we had an early checkout
