We liked this place. The lady at the reception was very nice. The hostel is very safe, with locked gates and secured parking behind a gate. Nice roof terrace to have you diner. Rooms are very cosy. We stayed at the top floor of the main building. There was a nice livingroom and a small kitchen to make a tea... More

My friend and I really loved this place. We came by basbus and the owner Jan picked us up. He showed us the village and learned us things about Hermanus and the nature around it. The lady at the desk was also very friendly and helped us to book a Whale trip. She even brought us to the harbor. It's... More

Location was fantastic and we even got to see some whales during... More

A great place walking distance from town and the ocean. Kitchen available and there is a lounge where you can relax with games and cable TV etc.

We have stayed here for 4 nights in November 2011. The owners are three nice ladies. We called them the "Golden girls" :). They remembered our names. That always feels good. Ok ok, the rooms are a little bit dated. But that's not important when you are paying like 100 to 150 rand a night. It's clean and the ladies... More

This is a backpackers hostel but with clean and comfortable rooms. We received a perfect breakfast. What makes this plase so special is the hospitality and kindness of the owners: Marilyn, Rina and Marianne. We recommend the township tour with Willy as a guide !
