    Property was great, just nice for 6 of us. It was bright, clean and comfy. We loved the location as well, it offers nice views of the sea and mountains and it close to many restaurants and shops. Big thanks to Suna who is just a sweet and amazing host.

    What a fantastic stay we have all had. Apartment was beautiful made all the more special by Suna’s thoughtful extra touches. We had everything we needed and more. We very much appreciated how welcoming and helpful Suna was throughout our stay and couldn’t have whisked for a better host. The view is spectacular with an almost continuous sight of whales. Thank you so much.

    Everything. The location was perfect and allows you to see Whales form the living room. The facilities were great. But most importantly, the host (Suna) - was the best we’ve every experience in all these years of travel. She was very thoughtful and goes above and beyond to make the experience extra special. Just fabulous all around.

    We could not find fault with anything.

    It is the most beautifully decorated apartment in central Hermanus with great views. The owner really went the extra mile with keeping us up to date with load shedding schedule. There with so much attention to detail with all the appliances, amenities and treats left for us which made our stay so memorable. We will definitely go back.

    We took the warning that getting into the garage required years of practice and parked in the space over the road but it wasn’t a problem.

    The location is amazing, wonderful views. The apartment is beautifully presented and the host Suna has thought of everything and added many extra thoughtful touches which make this a perfect holiday home. We have booked to return.

    Lifts don’t work during loadshedding so a bit tricky with elderly parents as the is on flat on 2nd floor but Suna kept us abreast of loadshedding schedule so we could plan when to go out. If you have no mobility issues, not a problem!

    The position of this apartment is just incredible. With views right across the bay and being so central to being able to walk everywhere! The apartment has everything you could expect and more. So comfortable and spacious and all room en-suite plus and extra guest toilet. There is a garage for a small car. Our host Suna was just wonderful and was there to meet us when we arrived and kept checking g up that all was well and sending messages to tell us where the whale sightings were. She left us with wine, homemake rusks and biscuits. Excellent inverter during loadshedding for TV, wifi and some lights.
