Jena & Louis were really helpful in booking restaurants and also our shark diving. This... More

Beautiful house in a lovely quiet position overlooking the sea. Jena and Louis pay meticulous attention to detail and did everything to make our stay enjoyable, from booking restaurants, to sorting out a local parking fine for us! Breakfasts were delicious and the stylish lounge area and balcony were great for early (or late) evening drinks. Our room had a... More

Outstanding guesthouse in picture perfect setting! Anyone can see that Louis and Jena take great pride in this spectacular property as well as the high standard of service they have set for themselves. The location suited us perfectly...just a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of walker's bay ensuring a peaceful and unspoiled scenery. The establishment is very classy... More

On arrival, Jena straighty away booked us a table for a recommended restaurant for the evening - she even had menus from a selection of eateries in the area! The room was spotlessly clean, and...

We had the pleasure of a 2 night stay at 138 Marine Drive in December. What a lovely guesthouse this is - spotlessly clean; amazing attention to detail; well-appointed and fabulous breakfast! Louis and Jena made a supreme effort when recommending places to see in the area, as well as local restaurants, which were all excellent. One is made to... More

We spent 3 nights at 138 Marine Drive, just for a rest and break from the daily routine and bustle of life. It was perfect! Louis and Jena made us feel so welcome, they pay great attention to little details that make one feel special and pampered. It was quiet, only the symphony of the sea to lull us to... More

This is in a great spot on the beachfront away from the hustle and bustle of Hermanus and will suit those looking for a quieter and more relaxed location and are looking for some beach time. The Guesthouse is light airy and beautifully decorated. Breakfast exceeded expectations, far more than... More
