First of all, this space is lovingly designed - I believe the owner herself personally did each room, and it shows. But beyond that, the two caretakers, Mannes and Petro, are what makes the experience so special for the guests. They are wonderful - and wonderfully attentive - hosts. They are also superheroes, considering they are somehow able to entertain... More

This is a Guest House with the most fantastic views over the bay. The Husband cooks, and provides food as good as any mitchelin starred restaurant. The food is then served and unless you would rather not, all the guests sit on one table, with the Hostess, and eat the meal. I found this great, as it gave us chance... More

I visited Schulphoek Guesthouse for one night, while exploring Hermanus and surrounds. I came with 3 friends, and we had an incredible experience. Our hosts Petro and Mannes were warm and welcoming, and ensured we were comfortable at all times. The rooms were exquisite, with each room having its own design and unique features. Although we didnt have the rooms... More

We only spent two nights here and wish we had booked for longer. We were in the Scallop room which has stunning views over the sea. The room was large, with a very comfortable bed. We had a big spa bath and a very large walk in shower, double basins. The whole suite was tastefully decorated. The hosts, Petro and... More

This was my third trip to Schulphoek and each trip offers a unique experience. Upon entry you are greeted by a truly relaxed African ambience. The courtyard leads to the main building with rooms on one side and a swimming pool on the other. The rooms are clean and spacious with everything one needs for a break. The communal living... More

We stayed here in November and came away feeling mostly disappointed with the value for money of Schuphoek. The positives - we had a very nice welcome and a pleasant supper on the first evening, so no complaints there. But the room (Oyster) was quite a disappointment. A major factor in this is the lack of natural light, for there... More

When we arrived at Schulphoek for the umpteenth time last Spring, I said to Petro: " I call the security gate The Pearly Gate because once we pass through it we are in heaven on earth!" Each time we have stayed at Schulphoek, it has been quite wonderful. Petro and Mannes are just the perfect hosts. The accommodation is 5... More

My wife and I traveled to South Africa with my parents (aged around 70 plus) and my kids (aged 7 and 9), and was advised to stay at this property by some friends. Initially I was reluctant as I wanted to spend more/all my time in Cape Town but I finally gave in. That decision paid off as by far... More

This is a wonderful guesthouse, we couldn't fault it. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we were looked after superbly. The rooms were lovely and so clean. We ate here on both evenings and the food and wine, which we chose from the wine cellar, was excellent. Amazing sunsets.

My husband and I stayed at Schulphoek Guesthouse in late November for 2 nights. The experience was wonderful we were greeted by Petro with the warmest and friendliest greeting, I ever experienced.
