The breakfast was very basic but also limiting but nice for the most I wasn't sure if I could ask for more or if I was done after the first plate.
The location is great and the cleanliness of the apartment is perfect. I would definitely look at changing the breakfast spice it up a bit, The view is really nice and the kitchen is the highlight of the entire trip

We would absolutely and without a doubt stay in this property again. It exceeded our expectation not only for the great location and views but also the amazing staff!! Every single one of them made our stay extra special. The room was epic with breath taking views! The chef and the food at the hotel's restaurant was unbelievable! We were extremely sad when out stay came to an end. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Wonderful & spotless hotel where any guest is truly invited to relax. Gorgeous rooms with panoramic views to the ocean, well equipped from the whirlpool in the rooms, to the little biscuits and chocolats available, to the options to watch Netflix directly setup. The team running the hotel is beyond fantastic - special mention to Dean who has truly made our stay special with his impeccable service, positive attitude & attention to detail (we got our own private dinner on the balcony!). Highly recommended hotel.

It's a vibrant coastal town with safe family beaches and kilometers of well-maintained stunning cliff paths skirting the waves and rocky gullies. Upmarket shopping, art, local crafts, and restaurants for non-walkers. Gets crowded in summer holidays and whale season.

Hermanus is a beautiful quiet city.
Hermanus is a beautiful quiet city. Close to many Shopping Malls and not even crowded.
Our host, Kosie, went out of his way to make our stay in Hermanus memorable. Even concerned about our safety when the storm wreaked havoc in other parts of the Western Cape. Kosie, along with the owner of the accommodation, advised us to stay an extra night, free of charge and to rather travel home when it was safe to do so.
Kosie and Owner, thank you so, so much for concerning yourself about your guests and put their safety ahead of monetary gain. Will definitely return to Hermanus, Voelklip for my next vacation.

Hermanus is a lovely coastal town with a great array of eating and drinking establishments. It has a nice feel about it and i wouldnt worry about walking around it on my own. The views are stunning and during the Whale Watching season it is truly breathtaking. There are some beautiful winerys around and lots to do. If you're coming over from the UK its great value for money.

Getting around Hermanus:
Hermanus is relatively easy to navigate, with most attractions within walking distance of each other in the town center. Taxis, rental cars, and local buses are also available for longer distances or to explore the surrounding areas.
Things to avoid on your next visit:
Overcrowded areas during peak tourist seasons, which might diminish the experience of tranquility that Hermanus offers.
Not booking whale watching tours in advance during the whale season, as they can fill up quickly.
Ignoring safety precautions when exploring coastal areas or hiking trails, as some areas may have steep cliffs or rough terrain.
A truly wonderful guest house to stay in with natural light, bang on the rocky beach where one hears the sea all night. It offers a great balcony with a braai, comfortable chairs and table and a perfect sea view. Every gadget that can make you feel at home right down to a full spice rack. The apartment was beautifully clean and comfortable. One can do a little walk on the rocky beach. Sadly it is not within walking distance of Hermanus itself but next to the abalone factories with, at times, some acrid smells. Safe parking.
Once in a while you stumble across a charming lodge that makes you want to return to the town, just to stay at the same place. So it was with Pelagus Guest House. The whales from the front window were so completely unexpected. The house is right across the street from the ocean and the whale viewing is over the top. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and we all 6 felt so very safe. Breakfast was perfect as well. I have been to Hermanus many times and Pelagus is now my permanent favorite lodge when I am in Hermanus.
This was our first experience at a BnB and it was a great time! Evelyn who was our hostess was kind and got us settled in. The overall vibe was very Home-y and felt like I was a guest in someone's house. The entire place was very clean. The bed was probably the most comfortable I've ever stayed in. It was in a great location, we felt safe walking around the neighborhood which was mostly residential. Short walk or drive to restaurants and the Hermanus cliff walk. Definitely would stay again if coming to Hermanus.
What a truly amazing place in every respect. Just book it; you will not be disappointed. Everything, and I mean everything is perfect. From the complimentary bottle of wine at check in until our sorrowful goodbye every little detail is taken care of. Of course, the staff is wonderful and will do anything for you. We had a flight delay from the States and the travel shop found us an opening on a whale excursion, so we did not have to miss our wonderful experience with the whales. Thank you Marine Hermanus.
I loved the friendly, home-like atmosphere. The location right on the beach was sensational. Above all, the staff definitely were brilliant. They were extremely pleasant and helpful. Particularly impressive were the breakfasts. We would arrive to a beautifully set table and the food was brilliant. Fresh fruit and yoghurt was so superior to that provided in the smorgasbord breakfasts provided by big hotels. Then there were the superbly cooked a la carte hot dishes. It was a great start to the day.
Fantastic hotel, mixes modern facia with the old, beautifully done, the owners, very hands on and approachable, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room, 106, was superb, and position A1.
Breakfast included, in the Heritage restaurant, was great, and the staff there were also very good.
Overall if I could have given them a score of 20 instead of 10, I would, as it was a fantastic experience, we love Hermanus, been there many times and would fully recommend a stay in Misty Waves
5th stay in Hermanus in variuos B&Bs and self catering apartments but Goozi is the best so far! Very well equipped, very nice shower, super comfortable bed - all is perfect!
Location cannot be better: shops, restaurants, beach - everything within walking distance. Very convenient.
And the owner is exceptionally friendly and helpful, which makes the stay even more appreciable (thank you, Eunice!)
Free and safe parking
Kijl met us in Hermanus and we followed him to the apartments, where he collected the keys and made sure that everything is in order. Kijl thank you for you hospitality. Your kindness and the joy that you brought to our lives this weekend. You are a true gentleman and a Soldier of the Heart ❤️ I cannot fault anything.
Great location to enjoy Hermanus. Easy walk to restaurants, markets, cliff walk, supermarket. Drop off/pick up for Baz Bus, Wine Hoppers. Comfortable room, huge bathroom. Common areas comfortable and well maintained. Jacqueline is fantastic-gave us great information, recommendations and best of all a paper map!
Expansive house located in a quiet residential area. The owner was also incredibly responsive and details oriented, especially with the check-in process. He was also very helpful with suggestions on activities that we could engage in, while in Hermanus. We did not use the pool due to the winter temperatures.
A beautiful spacious apartment in the heart of Hermanus, beautiful sea views and within walking distance to all shops and restaurants.
The apartment has everything & more that you will need to make your holiday memorable.
