    Glorious stay for our wedding preparation

    Our stay at this beautiful hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in an amazing experience that exceeded all expectations. The highlight was definitely the use of the kolkol, which added a unique and unforgettable touch to our stay. Inside our room, the cozy fireplace not only kept us warm but also created a magical atmosphere that enhanced our experience. The attention to detail from the hotel owner and her staff was remarkable. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness, especially during such a special time as my wedding preparation. The morning of my wedding was made even more special with delicious mimosas brought to us, along with their assistance in steaming our dresses when our steamer malfunctioned. Every effort was made to ensure we felt relaxed and pampered, which truly made a difference. The breakfast served was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, and the bath tub was a dream come true for any girl. It was clear that every aspect of our stay was carefully thought out to make it truly special for us. Overall, our experience at this hotel was exceptional, and I cannot recommend it enough. If you're looking for a place where every detail is perfected and where you'll feel pampered and relaxed, this is the place to be.

    Nothing I can think of.

    Linda was an amazing host and couldn't do enough to ensure that we had the best stay in Hermanus. Breakfast was the best we have had in SA so far. Room was lovely with our own balcony and chairs to ensure the view over Hermanus. We didn't have a hot tub in our room and wish we had as we came back earlyish and would have enjoyed siting in the hottub with the view/or not if sun had set. Overall we had a wonderful couple of days.

    There is nothing not to like here. Perhaps some more comfortable outside seating to make it even more perfect.

    This is a really lovely place to stay with wonderful views over Hermanus. The room was exceptional - perfectly clean, thoughtfully furnished and it had absolutely everything we needed. Breakfast was really tasty, served in our room.

    We had a lovely stay at Ridge House, everyone was helpful and friendly. The room had everything you needed. The breakfast was varied and excellent. It was only a short walk into town or to the Saturday Market. The views across Hermanus were breathtaking.

    I would like to thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful accommodation at the Ridge House. Our stay was simply fantastic and I would like to share my impressions. The room we stayed in was not only extremely comfortable but also stylishly furnished. The attention to detail was clearly noticeable and it felt like we had found our own little paradise. The cleanliness and care of the room was impressive and contributed greatly to our sense of well-being. The location of the Ridge House is also remarkable. The peaceful surroundings and the breathtaking nature nearby helped us to really relax. But the best thing about the Ridge House was undoubtedly the hosts, Linda & Martyn. Your warm hospitality and personal attention made our stay unforgettable. We felt welcome and appreciated from the very beginning. Your recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area were spot on. Overall, our stay at the Ridge House was an unforgettable experience that we will always remember fondly.

    No complaints at all - although we would happily have spent 3 nights instead of 2 in Hermanus.

    We stayed in the Rockpool suite and just loved the hot tub and grill area which we used both nights. We arrived day after severe storms but the property nonetheless was in perfect condition and even ready for our arrival despite us being ahead of check in. Great views across Hermanus and to star gaze from the hot tub. The staff were friendly and even managed to sort out a last minute booking for us on a whale watching boat trip. We met our hosts briefly on arrival and departure but they couldn't have been more welcoming. Excellent breakfast which you can also have served in the room / on terrace. Highly recommended.
