The whole ambience of the place was outstanding and the hostess couldn't do enough for us- probably the best boutique place I have ever stayed in.

Bit far from beach (walkable if you are fit) but are last line of houses on the mountain.

Fabulous breakfast options, good coffee. Spacious comfortable and excellent facilities(plunge pool, lounges, library and honest bar). Quiet location. Super friendly owner/hostess.

The weather was terrible during our stay, but despite that, the guest house was so good, that we really enjoyed our visit to Hermanus.

The accommodation is excellent. The rooms are spacious and of a very high standard. All the comforts of home plus more. Generous public areas to relax in sophisticated luxury. The property is in a quiet upmarket suburb above the town, but with easy access by car to the tourist areas. Celia, the manager is a superstar. She makes all the guests feel special and goes out of her way to make your stay exceptional.

Celia was very welcoming and friendly. The place is very clean, room and bathroom are very spacious. Enjoyed the breakfast and located in a quite area.

The motion sensor in the bathroom switched on the main lights, apparently for safety reasons. However this is an overkill & made the whole going-to-the-bathroom-in-the-middle-of-the-night experience rather unpleasant.

Great location, with spacious, very well appointed & luxurious rooms. Celia & her team were fantastic hosts. We appreciated the underfloor heating in the bathroom & the electric blanket on the bed!

I personally missed an electric blanket.

Comfortable room and lovely bath.
