This lovely, charming guest house is located within easy walking distance of the town centre and even though situated on the road,was very quiet. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Harold, the Host made us feel very welcome and was extreemly helpful in tips on... More

We stayed at Avalon on Sea in early January and had a wonderful stay, we had a room downstairs with lovely views of the sea. The guesthouse is conveniently situated and walking distance from the town and the restaurants - it was so lovely to be able to walk to dinner (we had a great meal at The Fishermans Cottage)....

We stayed at Avalon by the Sea in mid September. Although it was prime whale watching season, we didn't see any :( The B & B is a short walk to town. We were in the room on the second floor. Nice bed and bath with a beautiful view of the cliff and the water. Even though you are on... More

Eventually, after 5 years we have been back in Hermanus. Back at the same places we used to visit a long time ago and it has been just as we remembered. A pleasure to be back at Avalon on Sea, to see the Whales from the room, and to enjoy. Hopefully we will be back again soon.

It was a great stay and we could see Whales passing by practically in front of the door. The Guest House is perfectly situated just a few minutes walk from the Centre of... More

A very nice place to stay (first of all in the bedroom on the first floor with private balcony) with a beautiful view all over the sea and the whales. Harald welcomed us very warm, gave us good leads and organized our whale watching trip. Our room on the first floor was very clean and appointed with everything you need.... More

For example he asked what we'd liked for breakfast if there was anything special..........we said our wishes and the next morning whe had our breakfast as we asked...........Very good... More

No complaints whatsoever. Sue is a great host and will make sure you feel welcome. She helped me and my wife make the most of our two nights in Hermanus by giving us restaurant tips, told us about a nearby farmer's market and helped us with finding whales (June is early in the whale season so being told where they've...
