This was truly a night to remember. Nothing is too much trouble, everything must be perfect. I felt like a King while I was staying here. Nothing could have been better. Bed is awesome, bathroom, lounge, outdoors, food, drinks, service, privacy, location, ideal, heaven on earth. They even washed and polished my car without asking.

This hotel is the most hospitable place we have ever stayed in. The hotel is located in a, from the street perspective, inconspicable location in a residential neighbourhood, however has a dominant view on the bay of Hermanus, right above a small rock/sand beach (weather is cold, but swimmable for die hards, no sharks) and right next to a wonderful...

An amazing location, great attention to detail, fabulous food & incredible service. We've stayed in nice places & this has to be the best I've ever been to. I'd book another trip to South Africa simply to stay here again.

Gorgeous boutique hotel, within walking distance (along a stunning clifftop path) of Hermanus. The service blew us away, and the food was lovely. The fact that all the food, laundry and minibar,was all included seemed amazing and just added to our enjoyment of the place. Will go back , hopefully next year.

Breathtaking! That is one word that would describe this place. Once we arrived and saw the ocean views, we couldn't look away! The rooms were great with huge bathrooms and a private patio. We were able to take some hikes along the trails that were alongside the ocean. The service and people were very attentive. Just a couple blocks away... More

Absolutely tremendous; I included a visit to Hermanus primarily because I wanted to go to Birkenhead House and even then I was very pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail of the service which was exemplary, the view (AMAZING), and the whole experience. I am very fussy and rarely satisfied; I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone, it is... More
