Perfect location overlooking the sea at Hermanus. It was a 10 minute walk along the cliff path or down the main street to the shops and restaurants. A very comfortable room and a delightful hostess completed the package. Great value for money.

Outstanding bathroom in the front room where we stayed and excellent lighting. Breakfast could be from 8.00 A.M. and there should be a variety of breads/rolls. I think there should be burglar bars on the windows in the front rooms.

A very small guest house which appeared to be purpose built. It was designed for maximum comfort. Very close to a range of restaurants. We were welcomed and given information about the area. Breakfast included was very good. Breakfast times were a little late (9 - 10). Needed very precise pre ordering the night before.

Very friendly manager (Hestor). Large room with balcony and similar lounge area. Although on a fairly busy road this was not too noisy and there was a nice view of the sea in the distance. Short walk to restaurants. Good parking. Nothing really.

Very well maintained and spacious room. Short walk along ther coastal path to the town, Coco's is a bar/restaurant that is well worth a visit. It has lovely views and friendly staff. Breakfast was very good and staff very pleasant. Some of the rooms facing the sea were not as private as you might wish with other residents passing in front of your room and giving you a little shock if your blinds are open.
