Walter
United Kingdom“Our stay was 5 star. We were given an upgrade to a very large suite. The staff were excellent and made our stay really enjoyable. Location was good and very quiet at night. You could walk into Herman's which was added bonus. I would stay there...”
Simon
South Africa“we were the only guests as they are closing to do a refurb. But the staff and the rooms were great and clean and the property is close to the town and most amenities.”
Rob
New Zealand“The staff were lovely- very welcoming and helpful. They sorted out a room mix up without a fuss. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. Good location in Hermanus. The free glasses of port were a nice touch.”
