Outstanding welcome from the owners. Fabulous location for the Cliff walk which was absolutely stunning. Little touches that made our stay special. Breakfast was amazing and the porridge was delicious! Off road safe parking👍 Our room was beautiful overlooking the mountains with a large veranda. More like a 5 star suite. Gorgeous room scents! Cant recommend highly enough. We loved Hermanus & the Whale on Main❤️

Overall, from our welcome to our farewell, our hosts and their hardworking team made us feel right at home (away from home)! Everything was excellent during our three night stay - the guest house in general, our spacious room, the delicious and abundant breakfasts, the relaxing shared common spaces, the secure grounds, plus the appreciated local knowledgeable assistance we received. Our expectations were high and were then exceeded. Yes, we indeed recommend this wonderful guest house!
