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. 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.
What a truly amazing place in every respect. Just book it; you will not be disappointed. Everything, and I mean everything is perfect. From the complimentary bottle of wine at check in until our sorrowful goodbye every little detail is taken care of. Of course, the staff is wonderful and will do anything for you. We had a flight delay from the States and the travel shop found us an opening on a whale excursion, so we did not have to miss our wonderful experience with the whales. Thank you Marine Hermanus.
we had a ocean view room and would highly recommend to go for this, as waking up to the sunrise overlooking the water and seeing the sunset from the bed is really special. don’t think I have ever been to a hotel with such undisturbed views of the ocean. the rooms are large and nicely equipped with a free mini bar (non alco), and over all service was top! breakfast was nicely prepared made to order. it’s located 5-10 min outside of hermanus, so you need to drive to restaurants, but it’s worth the effort.
Fabulous clean and secure gated property. Wish we’d had longer - it’s the perfect location to explore Hermanus. There are five 2 bedroom townhomes around a paved courtyard and walled pool. The property is new and well appointed with open plan layout, modern furniture, crisp sheets, great towels and everything else you might need for a comfortable stay. Woolworths is on the next block for stocking up with fresh produce and restaurants, bars, places of interest are all in walking distance.
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.
Great location, right next to the cliff path, and a good distance to the more dodgy areas of Hermanus. Staff were amazing - very helpful in suggestions and accommodating to requests. Breakfast was great. Rooms are comfortable and love the bamboo theme. Facilities are really nice, including the common areas and pool area. Parking is comfortably available.
Kijl met us in Hermanus and we followed him to the apartments, where he collected the keys and made sure that everything is in order. Kijl thank you for you hospitality. Your kindness and the joy that you brought to our lives this weekend. You are a true gentleman and a Soldier of the Heart ❤️ I cannot fault anything.
Lovely boutique hotel right next to the Hermanus centre! The room has amazing sea views with a nice balcony and all the necessary amenities. Everything is clean, fresh and well thought! The lovely manager, Gilbert, made our stay even more enjoyable thanks to his help and friendliness !! The breakfast is great
Gorgeous hotel overlooking the bay. The staff were amazing, we had such a warm welcome from the hotel manager Kevin and throughout our stay he could not do enough to help us and make our stay so special.
The rooms were lovely and breakfast was amazing. Highly recommended for a stay in Hermanus.
The location of the property is ideal, with wonderful sea views (if you book a sea facing unit). The staff were exceptional, and always willing to help where they could. Breakfasts were also very good and tailored to your preferences. The decor of the hotel and our room is elegant and tasteful.
Best hotel in Hermanus! Located at the one end of the beachfront strip. Lovely old style hotel, top class service and just all round beautiful place to stay! Breakfast excellent, and the service from all the staff was very good. Highly recommend as we always stay here when visiting Hermanus.

Very nice reception from Marc, my host. The Vishuis - self catering - is a hidden gem in Hermanus, very cosy, roomy and nice in a quiet street. Everything is very close by, restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets, you name it. Very recommended!
Spacious, clean apartment right in the center of Hermanus. Super market, local shops and restaurants are in walking distance. The owners answered our calls quickly and helped us when needed. Location of this house is what we love most.
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!
