When we arrived we where met by Chris and you just got this nice welcome feeling (an away from home type). The breakfast was excellent and we got superb service even when my mom was not feeling well they went out of their usual routine to assist her with her meal and that was very much appreciated. The location was... More

We were greeted so warmly by Chris and made to feel at home. The room was super with good linen and spotlessly clean. Lovely breakfast . Would definitely go back when we return to Hermanus. Will have to book early for the whale season

We stayed at this lovely B&B for three nights. The rooms are spacious with on suite full bathroom. The owners were very friendly and full of advice. The pool in the centre of the guest rooms was divine, small enough to heat up quickly and space to lounge around. Lovely basic cooked breakfast. Honesty bar availiable. Only concerns were that...

This is the second time my friends and I have stayed at this unique quaint lodge, that is clean and welcoming,providing a meeting place for old friends and the making of new ones. A big bonus is a kettle, a tray with coffee, tea sugar and milk in every bedroom. Chris and Janka, the hospitable caring owners, know how to... More

We stayed one night and occupied 2 rooms. Nice place, clean, well located But I would not recommend it for families. Having spent 3 weeks traveling around SA with our 4 kids and staying in 9 different B&B this was the only place we didn't feel 'welcome' with them! The owners were constantly around, checked and even told off one... More

We stayed here when temperatures were round 35 Celsius. Since there is no airco in the room, it is very warm at night and we has problems getting to sleep. Staff is friendly, breakfast OK. The rooms are built around a small swimming pool, were you can cool down.

We stayed only one night, but if we had time we would have stayed longer. It was charming, our room was perfect, and opened into the courtyard. Short stroll into the centre and we were recommended a great place for dinner. Chris and Janka made us feel very welcome. We felt very well looked after!! I highly recommend staying here... More
