    Our main concern was there was not enough storage for hanging our clothes up.

    Staff were very helpful and it was a nice walk into Hermanos. Pool area was ok but could have been cleaner.

    Our room backed out onto the bin area of the hotel and generator so was a little noisy and not very scenic. But wasn't an issue as we weren't in the room much :)

    Amazing little hotel with the most amazing staff who offered the best hotel service I think I have ever received in South Africa. They were extremely attentive and friendly and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. The pool area is fabulous with all day sun and the location is perfect for a little walk into central Hermanus and its bars and restaurants.

    The details is in the devil. Small things like the fact that our bed and bathroom mats were note returned after day one. Coffe was nor refilled after day one.

    The staff were very good and accommodating. My one special request for a romantic turn-down - my expectations were exceeded with special care taken with this request.

    I think they must add remotes for the gate on the set of keys given to the guests.

    We loved the beautiful service we received upon our arrival at the establishment till our departure. The room was clean and had a fresh scent. The breakfast was always amazing.

    Pool was too small, more of a plunge pool

    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.

    The light in the bathroom. Goes on automatically when you turn over in bed. A small adjustment and it will be sorted

    The position is great. Walking distance from the action in the town. Clean and painted white and blue which fits the environment and the cleanliness of the hotel. I alway laugh when people write in a review how friendly the staff were, but in this case I really mean it. They were so lekker. To me, it is a place to say when visiting this town. You can spend a lot of money at other places but here, you get what you pay for. It’s new and it will become well known soon. Best of luck to the owners and the staff in the years to come.
