Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin und Personal. Gutes Frühstück und schöne Zimmer. Das Internet war leider etwas instabil in unserem Zimmer.

Wunderbares Gasthaus in toller Lage in Hermanus. Wir wurden ganz toll vom Gastgeber empfangen und uns wurde alles ausführlich gezeigt. Die Anlage ist hübsch gestaltet, es gab ausreichend Parkmöglichkeiten und alles war sehr modern. Die Zimmer waren sauber, ebenfalls modern und gut ausgestattet. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und die Zimmer sehr geräumig. Das Frühstück war lecker und nett gestaltet. Die Gegend ist sicher. Der Küstenwanderweg ist in 2 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Restaurants und der Stadtkern in 15 Minuten. Man kann hier nachts zur Unterkunft zurücklaufen. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Incredible stay, just a short coastal walk to Hermanus waterfront. Owners were amazing hosts, super helpful and fun! Nikki gave some excellent recommendations while Stefan served up amazing breakfasts. A brilliant tag team! Room was also lovely. Thank you for a memorable short visit!
