Lovely old comfortable home located right on the bay. The owner and her daughter were very welcoming and got us settled and then disappeared. The perfect balance between hospitality without hovering. Because it was just us and our friends (we were at the end of the season) it felt as if we had rented a big old' comfortable home just... More

This was our second visit to Pelagus/Nautilus House. Greeted like old friends by Anneline and Mara, we upgraded to the honeymoon suite and boy oh boy what a room - huge french doors that looked out directly over the ocean (entertained by a number of dolphins on our last day). A lovely pool and jacuzzi is the centre piece between... More

Nice hotel situated a short walk from the main area of the town along Marine Drive. Unfortunately the wrong season for whale watching but a very spectacular coast line. We only stayed for one night on out tour of RSA but the hotel was excellent and the owners very helpful. Room was large and clean offering a sea view and... More

Very friendly B&B with a huge safe car park adjacent to the town centre. Nice big spotless room (I was upgraded at no charge!) and a decent breakfast. Lovely pool and right across the road is the ocean with Southern Right whales almost on the beach from September to November. If I ever return to Hermanus, I will definitely try... More

We stayed at Pelagus for the first two days of our first trip to South Africa, we had six adults in our party. I must say from the time of booking and right through our stay we were very well looked after by Annalie and her mother Mara, they were the perfect hosts and nothing was any trouble. The acommodation... More

We made a last minute booking to stay at Nautilius Cottage which is the building behind Pelagus House. The accommodation is luxurious and immaculate and very tasteful and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. (Crisp white linen etc). The pool was a lovely way to unwind too. The location was perfect for a brief yet bracing walk along the seafront but... More

The Pelagus House itself is of an excellent standard. Beautifully decorated and in an excellent location. We chose this accommodation based on its proximity to the ocean, and were advised we had the penthouse, a little disappointed that we overlooked the pool and not the ocean. The breakfast was described as scrumptious. My description would be adequate. Breakfast was between... More
