Fantastic Stay, Great Hotel with Great Views
The staff was very nice and very helpful. The views of the beach and ocean from the hotel and our room were amazing. Even though it was far away, we could see whales out in the ocean from our balcony! The beach was only a short walk away. The breakfast was great. The common spaces were really nice and comfortable. We stayed at 7 different hotels, all very very nice, in our almost 3 week trip of South Africa, and our room here (the Southern Right Suite) was one of the best. Very large with a cool bathroom. Hermanus is a very nice town with spectacular scenery.

What a fabulous find. This is a private villa with 5 beautiful rooms. It is a short walk to the nicest part of Grotto beach, gorgeous sand and very few people. In our opinion much nicer than staying in downtown Hermanus and only a 10 minute drive. The service was outstanding and breakfast first class and cooked to order. There are 3 dining spots we tried within a 5 minute drive all different, great value and nice food. Dutchies (on the beach), Lizettes and Hobside Down (great pizzas). Never normally rate accommodation but this was exceptional. Thanks to the amazing team!

Fantastic hotel in the heart of the town centre. Incredible service, even picking us a takeaway breakfast box for our early flight. Room was a little small, but everything else was exceptional.

Disappointing from start to finish!
My husband and i were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary whilst on this trip. The guest house was very modern but a building doesnt make your stay....... the welcome we received was abrupt and we were left to carry our bags in from the car park around the pool and up a flight of steps. I got the feeling that management must have some serious trust issues, we were asked to sign a disclaimer saying that if we didnt look after our own stuff and something was stolen, it was our own fault..... leading me to believe they couldnt trust their staff. Then when we went into the room, there was a sign that said as guests, we were only entitled to take the complimentary slippers and NOTHING else, what sort of guests have they had in the past? Thieves? Breakfast was a disaster. The man that took our order got both breakfasts mixed up. We got 2 different menus. I had requested gluten free bread and when i asked to confirm it was, the man just kept saying "no it free, no charge" all through breakfast. Both my boiled eggs and my husbands poached eggs were hard after having been asked what way we would like them. There was a girl hanging around the breakfast room, like a prison warden, i could not see her purpose because she was equally clueless as the man. There is no modern technology in the room. Its not 5*. The owner waited until we were checkin out to address our comments. We paid approx £147. for night and got compensated with a bar of soap...
