    It was an amazing stay. Room was clean and spacious. Fully surrounded by care of the owners who were kind to help us with the whale boat trip. Breakfast was more than OK. Enough parking slots.

    Wonderful place with amazing hosts to see whale from the cliffs
    Marlene and Zeon are the most amazing hosts ever. They helped us so much after our whale watching trip was cancelled and they also have a lot of other useful tips for the area! Big thank you to both :)

    Generous accomodation from exceptionally kind hosts. Highly recommend
    Huge room, exceptionally clean & well equipped. Hosts went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay in Hermanus. Excellent quality breakfast
    Location further out of town than we expected so had to drive in but, on the upside, we saw more whales from the coastal path just over the road from the property

    Excellent guesthouse with friendly helpful hosts.
    The guesthouse has two friendly and helpful hosts and is located within a very short drive of central town. The breakfast was excellent. The room was comfortable and a generous size. The wifi worked well.
    TV picture was dark but this was a very minor issue which I am sure the hosts would have resolved if we had bothered to mention it.
