One of the most charming places I've stayed, and made for an outstanding stop on our ZA vacay! Visiting from the US, where the "guest house" does not exist as such. The quaint size, personalized service, amazing breakfast, generously stocked honesty bar, spacious room (we stayed in large garden suite), and amazing pool/grounds were highlights. Overall the character of the place was amazing. Old yet new, charming with modern amenities, friendly yet efficient, and affordable (bang for your buck)! Also of note is the prime location: Quiet, yet close to cliff walk, restaurants, beaches, etc.
Some issues with mosquitos in room. Was hot during our visit, so wanted the windows open, but this led to disruptive bugs! The fan helped with this, but not possible during load shedding.

What to begin with. This place is simply amazing. I think the best place we stayed on our journey to western cape. We were lucky and we got upgraded so our room was huge with biggest bed ive slept on. I think the bed was 220cm so really huge. Whole place was simply amazing. I dont know why overall rate is below 9 to be honest. It was very fancy and nice. This place had 2 poold one huge pool with garden area and one little more private where we actually were alone all the time We stayed there 2 night and we charged our batteries very very much. We will definetely come back to this place because it was simply outstanding
Nothing at all !!

The quiet location which was walkable into town in around 35 mins , there were also good places nearer which we enjoyed walking 7mins to.The owners helped us with dinner reservations which was very helpful & we enjoyed both places booked . The town is quaint & has nice atmosphere & good quality restaurants/ shops
We had an issue with a strong smell of damp in our room 6 bathroom which we reported on the first day of our 3 day stay. Very little was done to rectify the problem other than to run taps , no one asked us if things had improved during our time at the hotel which we thought was odd as damp / drains issues can affect health . There was also confusion over having to change rooms due to separate bookings , I did raise this when we checked in & was told I would be informed but this didn’t happen & we arrived back at the hotel to be told to pack up & move straight away . In short communication with guests could certainly be improved in our experience of both situations .

What's not to like? We were upgraded to a large suite, part of the separate villa, which was lovely. A warm welcome with attentive and pleasant staff. Safe and secure parking. Helpful throughout the booking process too. Possible to walk the coast from the place. The New Harbour is walkable as was the Rock, where we ate the first night, although we took the car as it was dark.
Nothing!

The property is truly amazing. Its layout, the gardens and communal areas, the pool.
It is situated right by some slums and if you arrive by the onset of dark from that side of town it is quite scary for a first time Traveller to SA. The property is safe though, but since there is no food service at night it makes you wonder whether you want to go out again.

Friendly staff, good size rooms, lovely breakfast, secure parking. Only stayed one night and went out. But did have a few drinks in a very pleasant lounge area, so overall very satisfying
Was a little surprised at the location, as we had to drive down a fairly intimidating road with a lot of people about to get to the Lodge, which was only about half a mile further down. Wouldn't want to be doing that at night!

We booked the executive room which was not supposed for kids and they said they will make an exception. So thankful for that and it’s such a lovely room big enough for the kids to run around when it rained. Breakfast was brilliant & the kitchen staff exceptional.
That we only booked 3 nights.

Super comfy beds, large rooms, huge bathroom and just everything you need for a luxury experience. The breakfast was incredible and the staff so friendly and helpful. It is quite a walk along the beach path to the main part of town, but really worth it. The most breathtaking beach walk and quaint little town of Hermanus is just stunning.
The fact that we only stayed for one night. Would definitely stay longer next time.

The breakfast was good and freshly cooked. The food was plentiful and we enjoyed eating it. The location of the breakfast room was good besides the pool.
We have no complaints
