Perfect tranquillity, facing the beauty and peaceful sounds of the Hermanus sea. We wanted a special location for our 20th wedding anniversary, and we found it in abundance. Gracious hosts, excellent staff, brilliant breakfasts, beautifully appointed spaces and a sea view from the bath. It was sad to have to leave the house to go sightseeing! You can't go wrong... More

Great experience in a beautiful setting. Attention to detail, well kept rooms and facilities. Rosemary was very helpful and an outstanding example of South African hospitality. You are right in the middle of wine country of Walker Bay which, in my opinion has the best climate for wine growing in South Africa. 10 minutes away from Beach house.

A wonderful welcome, first class service and well appointed, tastefully furnished rooms. The staff were all friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Delicious breakfast. Right on the waterfront with stunning views . I loved hearing the sound of the sea throughout the night and waking to hear the sound of birds. A home away from home.

We read some of the reviews before coming here and it said they were hospitable, and so we assumed the basic hospitable behaviors. Never assume. This wonderful couple have redefined what hospitality in a guesthouse means. Unbelievable care and attention to detail. They even booked our restaurants for the evening in case we had not planned anything. The decor of... More

On arrival we received an exceptionally warm welcome from Rosemary. She was extremely helpful in providing information about the local area and went out of her way to ensure our stay was perfect. The accommodation was well decorated, comfortable and clean. Views from bedroom and communal areas were beautiful. Breakfast was delicious.

A lovely welcoming guest house with great views over the sea. Rosemary was a very attentive and helpful hostess, and gave us good tips for a delightful meal and coastal walk in Hermanus. We only wished we had stayed more than one night!
