Wonderful & spotless hotel where any guest is truly invited to relax. Gorgeous rooms with panoramic views to the ocean, well equipped from the whirlpool in the rooms, to the little biscuits and chocolats available, to the options to watch Netflix directly setup. The team running the hotel is beyond fantastic - special mention to Dean who has truly made our stay special with his impeccable service, positive attitude & attention to detail (we got our own private dinner on the balcony!). Highly recommended hotel.

Our host, Kosie, went out of his way to make our stay in Hermanus memorable. Even concerned about our safety when the storm wreaked havoc in other parts of the Western Cape. Kosie, along with the owner of the accommodation, advised us to stay an extra night, free of charge and to rather travel home when it was safe to do so.
Kosie and Owner, thank you so, so much for concerning yourself about your guests and put their safety ahead of monetary gain. Will definitely return to Hermanus, Voelklip for my next vacation.

Hermanus is a lovely coastal town with a great array of eating and drinking establishments. It has a nice feel about it and i wouldnt worry about walking around it on my own. The views are stunning and during the Whale Watching season it is truly breathtaking. There are some beautiful winerys around and lots to do. If you're coming over from the UK its great value for money.

We often visit Hermanus and love it there.
We often visit Hermanus and love it there. Great beaches, tidal pools, cliff path walk and views and excellent restaurants too.
Super wine farms nearby and other small towns to explore in the region. A great base from which to discover the Overberg region.

Friendliness of everyone was awesome.
Friendliness of everyone was awesome. Everywhere you went you felt safe and welcome. Very easy to get around. Loved the hiking trails. A must-have is comfortable shoes and clothes for all weather types, because you walk a lot and the weather changes very fast.

Beautiful Hermanus never disappoints as there really is...
Beautiful Hermanus never disappoints as there really is something for everyone. If you like the outdoors, there are mountain and sea activities available. For those who enjoy retail therapy, the town also offers a wide range of shopping experiences.
This was our first experience at a BnB and it was a great time! Evelyn who was our hostess was kind and got us settled in. The overall vibe was very Home-y and felt like I was a guest in someone's house. The entire place was very clean. The bed was probably the most comfortable I've ever stayed in. It was in a great location, we felt safe walking around the neighborhood which was mostly residential. Short walk or drive to restaurants and the Hermanus cliff walk. Definitely would stay again if coming to Hermanus.
Lovely, clean and comfortable rooms decorated just beautifully. The pool is great for a little afternoon siesta. Everything about the property was just terrific for our few days stay in Hermanus. Stefan is a master at putting together a fantastic breakfast, as is he a master at regaling great stories and advising on activities in the area - a perfect host with amazing energy who takes the safety and comfort of his guests very seriously. we loved staying at Penguino and would absolutely do it again!
The service is exceptional! nothing was too much trouble and the team went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. The front desk arranged dinner bookings for us. Breakfast is included the luxury of an a la carte menu, the coffee, pasties and cooked breakfast prepared and served professionally. The spa treatment (couples massage) is out of this world - again one of the best we’ve experienced. Overall this was the best place we’ve stayed in, in Hermanus.
Our stay at One Marine Drive Boutique Hotel was a true delight, leaving us with memories of unparalleled hospitality. The The staff is truly set it apart from the rest. They were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond, making our stay unforgettable. Breakfast surpassed our expectations. If you're seeking an unforgettable stay in Hermanus, this boutique hotel is undoubtedly the perfect choice. Highly recommended. We will be back again and again.
The hotel is located on walking distance from the city center. Room was good with a nice bathroom and breakfast was also good, I did like the pancakes. The host was helpful with giving advice. You can park your car on the property. Wi-Fi is only good for internet not streaming. You can make nice walks along the sea, I spotted a lot of whales. I regret I had only 1 day in Hermanus. You can easily spend more (also at this guest house!).
I was looking for a place with great views and the potential to spot whales right from your room and Hermanus Beachfront Lodge did not disappoint. We were able to see whales while sitting in bed (OK, in some distance, but still incredible!)! There is also a great walking path just a few metres from the hotel to explore the shoreline. Tito was a wonderful host who made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay.
Tito‘s Omelettes are the best ever eaten! Thanks Tito!
Great and thought through service.
very close by the sea - easy for a swim before breakfast. Towels available at the reception. we also liked the welcome drink at our lovely room with sea view, overlooking the bay over to Hermanus. the board walk along the beach starts riggt in front of the hotel. sunsets are also great to be watched from the balkony.
The hotel is in a beautiful position and the southern right suite is fantastic with perfect sea views! We only stayed one night and that was our biggest regret. Easily could of enjoyed another 2 nights. The room is huge. The fireplace a nice touch.The bathroom impressive. The view from the large window was perfect for whale watching. The breakfast was fantastic. Staff great. Everything was perfect!!
The room/apartment exceeded our expectations in terms of size, decor, views from the room, fireplace, kitchen facilities and the best part it being central to everything in Hermanus. We parked safely right next to our door in gated garage, but we never even used the car, we walked and explored the whole Hermanus from right out of our hotel room/apartment.
We loved everything about our stay. The area was so calm and peaceful. The hotel was beautiful, clean and warm. We really enjoyed the breakfast it was colorful and just a great selection. The staff overall was amazing. Welcoming and accommodating. Such a great experience we had in Hermanus. Thank you...
We absolutely loved this hotel. A real 5* feel. The staff were brilliant, the breakfast was delicious and the views from the hotel were fantastic. We didn't pay for a sea view, but it probably would have been worth doing so.
Very friendly staff
Great product - big rooms - very nice architecture
Fantastic sea view
Great bar / restaurant just opposite the hotel located in the coast cliffs
Start of the cliff path (a must) just opposite the hotel
Superb rustic lodging and grounds with a perfect location for Hermanus based excursions. Nice room with private access, good wifi and terrific breakfast. Super attentive staff and simply a delightful, secure place.
We liked the balcony looking towards the sea, the magnificent view. It is located perfectly by the trails and by downtown. Hermanus. Special efforts.have been done to build a nice guide in the room for the guests.
We had such a lovely stay! A little outside of Hermanus, but we enjoyed the peace and quiet. It has a nice view on the balcony! Host was so kind and helpful. Nice shower with hot water! Wifi was good!
It felt more like a boutique hotel. The rooms were spacious beds were soft and perfect. The location to the beach and the views are unparalleled. You are also walking distance distance from town.
Fantastic Stay! Dirk, the hotel owner, was extremely attentive and considerate. Out of our 10 days in South Africa, this stay was the highlight of our trip. We hope to visit again!
