“Sehr schöner erholsamer Aufenthalt”

Great location, super clean, excellent guest service from Kirsten. The beds were very comfortable, and the room had a coffee machine and kettle.

“As above it was suitable for our very brief stay”

The location was suitable for this very short visit, and there were no special complaints.

“We had such a wonderful time in Hermanus made special and memorable by the excellent accommodation”

“Highly recommend this guest house.”

I stayed at this gorgeous guest house and it was flawless, especially the African décor that runs through the whole place. The spot is spot-on, just a short cliff‑top walk to town and plenty of solid restaurants. Breakfast at the Old Station Café was on the house and delicious. Would definitely recommend.
