Hermanus hotellia

Plussat: breakfast: comparing it to other B&B we stayed in our southafrican trip, it could have been more varied; not much to choose from

Plussat: It was clean and beautiful.

Plussat: Such a warm welcome, great comfortable room, balcony with an amazing view across Hermanus and the bay, so many small touches, complimentary tea, cake and some drinks, clean smart modern setting, short walk to town. Definitely No 1.

Plussat: Excellent hotel in a great location. Very attentive staff. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: What an absolutely incredible hotel. We spent five days at this beautiful place to celebrate our honeymoon, and from the moment we arrived we felt so relaxed and at home there. The team are amazing, they literally bend over backwards to help you in any way they can, they are the most polite, caring and genuinely lovely people we've ever met. We dealt mostly with Natasha, Nicole, Sakhi and Sandisa who were all absolutely delightful and so friendly and helpful - they are a credit to this business and I hope the owners realise this. They even arranged for our room to be decorated for Christmas which was just wonderful and they arranged a delicious picnic for us to take to the beach on Christmas day. The breakfast was outstanding, eggs cooked any way to order as well as continental and cereal options - you couldn't want for anything. On Christmas day they arranged a special breakfast and even got us little gifts! The hotel itself is spotless and the balconies have the most incredible views - you're so close to the sea! The rooms are all beautifully individually decorated, and the beds are so comfy, we didn't want to leave! We truly left One Marine Drive with new friends, and we will definitely return one day - what an absolute gem of a place, I can't recommend more highly.

Plussat: great location, beautiful room and friendly and very helpful staff

Miinukset: 20 min walking to the center but that’s fine.

Plussat: Great View from our room. Staff were excellent and helpful. Overall a very nice guest house

Miinukset: No shower.

Plussat: - Warm welcome with champagne - Shown to our room as soon as we arrived which was much earlier than check-in time - a gift for our anniversary- the reason for our trip - afternoon tea! Yummy - night-cap each evening in the room - turn down service - robes - dinner and cabs arranged for us locally - adorable hosts where nothing was too much trouble I could go on...

Miinukset: Mirror in the bathroom a bit too high for anyone under 6ft!

Plussat: Really did like the buffet breakfast and the staff was excellent. Very friendly and will highly recommend to any couple who want to take a break.

Miinukset: The bar fridge is a bit to small and you should put in a microwave inside. But thanks for the ice bucket it kept my beer cold

Plussat: Staff friendliness and great relaxed atmosphere.

Plussat: Host was very friendly and went out of her way to make me comfortable. They serve the most delicious breakfast, in particular their fruit salad. What I liked is that I was fully orientated to the guesthouse and invited to sit in the lounge because my room was very small. I cannot complain about it, because I paid a very low price for it. I received a complimentary upgrade on my last night. The hostess was anazing

Miinukset: The decor in the small room

Miinukset: WiFi was intermittent for the 24hrs we stayed, otherwise the rest of our stay was fantastic!

Plussat: Yes ! All good but the huge bath in the bathroom is useless! Takes up too much room and with the water situation bathing is not on! Much better to have two sinks. Just a suggestion

Plussat: Breakfast ok

Miinukset: Getting back to the Abalone after 10pm with no staff and no bar facilities having to let yourself into the hotel.

Plussat: Great staff

Plussat: The guest lodge was located next to the cliff where you had a good view over the bay during breakfast. The stuff was very friendly to help you anytime. The breakfast was very tasty and the furniture classy. We had a nice stay and and can recommemd this accomodation.

Miinukset: The accomodation was spotted in an enclosure.

Plussat: Beautiful view and interior!

Plussat: The view, breakfast, service, bed , dinner, interior - everything was simply excellent. We spend 2 the most relaxing days in this place.

Plussat: Great and friendly staff, nice location.

Plussat: Beautiful views, clean rooms and wonderful breakfast.

Miinukset: Would have liked to know in advance that lunch and dinner had to be pre reserved (perhaps I missed this, but it could have been better communicated).

Plussat: Beautiful room; friendly stuff. Only really thin walls so we could all our neighboors listeling to music and having loud sex. That was the only bad part of our great stay haha

Miinukset: The thin walls

Plussat: Close to beach, view of the ocean, quiet, breakfast

Miinukset: No charm, badly decorated room, lobby not appealing, pool very small and wasn‘t inviting to take a swim, breakfast room looked uninviting

Plussat: Clean, comfortable, excellent breakfast!

Miinukset: Location...

Plussat: Great elegant rooms with exceptional sea view! Perfect accommodation in Hermanus!

Plussat: Fantastic rooms with exceptional sea view!

Plussat: Nice unlimited breakfast, clean and modern equipment and friendly personnel- GREAT VIEW!

Miinukset: Since I prefer low carb options it would have been nice to have granola on nut basis - but I never missed a thing during our stay (so complaining on an extraordinarily high level here :D)

Plussat: Super friendly owners and lovely clean room.

Miinukset: The weather, but we won’t hold that against the owners :)

Plussat: We had the garden cottage and it was beautiful. The owners were friendly and excellent hosts. Will definitely return.

Plussat: The garden cottage was very clean and prettily decorated. Leonie and Brian the owners were very kind and helpful

Miinukset: The sink in the bathroom isn’t big enough and there is only one small shelf to put products which is tricky for 2 people

Plussat: Great welcome - lovely size room and good breakfast for husband and son.

Miinukset: Gluten free options for breakfast, consistent shower temp!! Minor niggles!

Plussat: Very lovely B&B with great owners and lovely details

Plussat: Decor in room. Comfort. Friendliness of owner

Miinukset: Tv instructions

Plussat: Excellent service, the owner was very helpful. She took care that we can still get on a whale tour although basically everything seemed to be sold out. It's a bit out of town, but very close to the marvellous beach. We hiked into town on the beautiful cliff path, which starts only a few minutes from the manor, and retuned by taxi. So despite you want to stay in the middle of the town, location is great. Very good breakfast as well. Should we return to Hermanus (fingers crossed), we'll definitely go back to Lavender Manor.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Thank you so so much for such a wonderful stay at your beautiful Guest House, from arriving to checking out our whole experience was wonderful. The facilities, amenities, location, food, and hospitality was 10/10 – I really cannot fault one thing! Our trip to South Africa was made extremely special with the stay at Whale Rock, thank you for this. We cannot wait to share with family, friends, work colleagues and anyone else who will listen to us!! I cannot wait to return Jan 2021 with the family. See you soon! Anna Xx

Miinukset: The house seems to be quite old but everything is nice and tidy.

Plussat: The Staff was very friendly. We could check out a little later because my boyfriend doesn't feel good. Thanks for that. The Breakfast is very delicious. Its a good choice to stay in hermanus.

Miinukset: Its not the latest equipment but very clean. For the "good " Coffee you have to pay.

Plussat: Rooms, design/ decor & surrounding areas e.g. pools

Miinukset: Pool had a cleaner in constantly, Surrounding area can feel a little unsafe as you arrive, Staff did not really engage other than breakfast

Plussat: the breakfast, the staff and the place were ALL excellent!!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Friendly, welcoming staff, and great rooms.

Plussat: Everything. Magnificent reception area. Size & facilities if the room. Location and sea view. Car parking on site . Security discreet but effective and efficient. Overall ambiance with the personal touch....ALL staff friendly , respectful,courteous and efficient. Met several guests who returned annually ( specifically for many of the above reasons ) even though they had the opportunity and availability elsewhere....if we lived nearer we we would do the same.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Room and view was amazing. Felt safe and comfortable. Food was nice.

Plussat: We were lucky to be upgraded and had a lovely big room. Very comfortable. Welcoming and helpful staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location close to the sea (cliff walk) and to downtown, room very nice!

Plussat: Great location and style of rooms/hotel

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: the breakfast was fantastic and very filling. we were received with great courtesy on our arrival at reception and felt at home immediately

Plussat: Very feiendly hosts. Great breakfast. Comfortable room. Water and coffee facilities available anytime. Great view!

Plussat: Family run guest house with an extremely friendly host; safe walking to the restaurants; directly at the cliff walk. Remarkable the water refill for the bottles in the room and the bar.

Plussat: It was everything we could wish for. Staff and owners were very welcoming. Room was big views over the bay were stunning. Nothing was a problem. Breakfast was all you could possible want

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike. Apart from the whales disappeared but no one can control nature

Plussat: lovely gust house very friendly efficient and at a great location walking distance to town center. we had a nice room with a balcony and spacious bathroom. the breakfast was very nice a buffet on one hand and a list of options to choose from the kitchen. recommended for one or more nights

Plussat: Totally Brilliant !

Miinukset: Nothing it was all brilliant !

Plussat: Beautiful environment. Room is spacious and very comfortable to stay in. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom is spacious with a lovely bath and shower. Was nice to get plunger coffee in the room. Breakfast was delicious.

Miinukset: It was not worth it to pay more for a front room because one could not see much of the sea. Next time I will ask for a room on the first floor.

Plussat: Secure parking, great breakfast.

Miinukset: Owner asking us to leave the bar area at 21h40. Could be more polite instead of treating us like children. We were just 1 couple and well behaved and not causing a desturbance.

Plussat: I liked the location and the facilities

Miinukset: I reserved two rooms and they had only one ready and the hotel was full. I had to wait one hour after they added two additional beds to the available room. I asked the staff to book a table at the hotel restaurant and when we arrived they had not a reservation for us. We had to wait again until they had a table available. Very poor service.

Plussat: Location and views

Plussat: Wow location on cliffs overlooking whalewatchers bay ...

Plussat: Breakfast experience is truly exemplary.

Miinukset: Bar service needs some supervision

Plussat: Venue is absolutely fantastic, magnificent property, extremely helpful staff, great facilities, food is excellent

Miinukset: Nothing at all

Plussat: The position is excellent. The public rooms and the food is really good. The pool area is fine.

Miinukset: The top management was ineffectual.

Plussat: Excellent we shall return

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Amazing location - close to shops, restaurants and beach and spacious apartments with lovely braai area outside.

Miinukset: Only criticism is that for a 3 bedroom apartment (6 adults) we only got one key tag to get in an out of the security gate - porters were able to open for us on request but it wasn’t convenient to get in and out.

Plussat: We enjoyed everything about this property - location, staff, service, convenience and facilities when family members stayed over for my son’s wedding. We can have absolutely no complaints.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing...

Plussat: Everything was great. We should have stayed there longer instead of moving to other places which had a pool. The atmosphere there was the best of the places we stayed in Hermanus area.

Plussat: Hotelli sijaitsee kauppakeskuksessa mikä oli meidän mielestämme hyvä asia. Sijainti on muutenkin loistava, kaikki kävelymatkan päässä. Huoneisto oli upea! Siellä oli täysin varusteltu keittiö ja todella siistiä. Sopii pidempäänkin majoittumiseen. Hermanus on hieno kaupunki. Ehdoton suosikkimme Etelä-Afrikassa.

Plussat: Apartments are large, spacious, modern and comfortable. It made a great place to spend a few days in Hermanus. The property is centrally located and safe.

Miinukset: The hotel is above a shopping mall which is a little odd and we had a room overlooking the parking lot which was a little noisy and meant the view was not the best.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent and the location was excellent. The waiters were friendly and accommodating. The location is the best on the Whale coast side. I will definitely come again to Hermanus

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was right.
