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

The rooms here have a lovely beach feel about them, and the hosts are very welcoming. Parking is readily available and its only a short walk to town if you want to leave the car behind. Breakfast is very filling with a lot of variety, including cooked choices. Everything is clean including the pool.

Easy to find (off main road from Cape Town) and good walking distance from centre of Hermanus. The rooms are on the basic side (no air con or safe) but it was nice to have a kettle in the room. The service was very personal & the fruit salad at breakfast was amazing. The pool is very small, but that's... More

We stayed at the Baleia guest house on November 3rd last year for two nights. We were so impressed that we stopped again on November 17 for one night on the way from Knysna to Franshoek. The rooms are large and are equipped with high quality furnishings with huge en-suite bathrooms which are kept spotlessly clean. Frank, the owner makes... More
