Super nice room, location and staff. A very good place to stay for having a family vacation. Hopefully the government and Eskom could deliver better public service in the supply of electricity and water to support the local hospitality industry in Hermanus.

The location is second to none, incredible ocean and mountain vistas almost wherever you look, but what really made this experience something special are the staff, they are attentive, engaging and friendly. What really struck me about the staff is how much they actually care about your experience, always asking “can I help you with x” or “we can do y if that’s better for you” etc without skipping a beat!

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.

    The owner did such a good job at this farm, amazing. His service was impeccable and fast. Why can't more places on earth be as tranquil as this? The Braai/breakfast baskets...the donkeys...the herb & fruit garden... the lily pond... feeding the chickens... what is not to love? We did taco night on Sunday at a nearby restaurant which was adorable, with live music. We then had the Braai basket; The meat is insane, and so is the wildlife and the stars. The bed is giant and comfy, the breakfast is fantastic. The pool is great, the botchi ball finishes it off. Insanely good stay. Just wonderful. PS: The donkeys love apples from the garden. Having them just right out of your backyard was fantastic.

    Everything was flawless. The room and the house were spotless and comfortable. The views are spectacular. The breakfast and the coffee were amazing and there are beautiful walks in the area. But what made it extra special was the team. They genuinely love what they do and love people - Gideon shared local knowledge of places to go and recommended great places to eat which we wouldn't have found on our own. Priscilla is beautiful person who made us feel extra special and pays attention to detail.

    The guesthouse is situated in an amazing location right in front of the ocean and is decorated beautifully! What we loved most about our stay was the lovely staff. The ladies made us feel so welcome and were always up for a chat. They were really helpful with their suggestions and tips and always had an answer to all of our questions. We were sad we only stayed one night and will definitely be back. Thanks again for everything!!

    Kleinmond is a fantastic holiday destination to rest and explore the beauty of nature. The combination of sea, lagoon, mountains and fynbos as well as many pathways along the coast with longer hiking trails make Kleinmond a true gem of nature. Lovely coffee shops, restaurants and small shops make this coastal town very special. There are many activities for families - kayaking, hiking, swimming etc. Superb views and very well connected to nature.

    Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village.

    Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village. It offers the chance to rekindle your oneness with nature and explore the beauty of the surrounding countryside and Reserves. Stanford offers a unique shopping experience, which seemingly encourages a more relaxed, ambient pastime. We were very privileged to be able to dine at Madre's, an iconic restaurant with food to match, a gastronomic experience in itself. There appears to be annual shows held in the town, those being the Flower Show and the Motor Shows, both of which appear to attract great interest from locals and holidaymakers alike. A beautiful and very special town, with its very own personality and charm.

    Easy to access any beach. We enjoyed Buitesteen Restaurant and Marietjies Pub in Baardskeerdersbos. It is a must for every visitor. We enjoyed walking from Franskraal to Uilenkraalmond. It feels very safe to be in De Kelders.

    Bettys Bay is a charming little coastal town. I think its perfect for tourists and locals if you are looking for a laid back breakaway. Its quite easy to get around and find different places of interest. We enjoyed visiting the Stony Point Penguin Colony. We spotted quite a number of birds. There are lovely trails for short hikes on the mountainside. The beach is wonderful with white soft sand. The water is quite cold though.

    It is a very peaceful village with a lovely beach. I was there off season which was perfect as coming in summer must be hectic. Met very helpful people from the pharmacy, the small supermarket and the laundry lady. Excellent restaurant - The Cork Eatery! Very nice owner and very good food. Enjoyed a lovely meal. Beach is beautiful but I may have gone to the wrong entrance as a bit of a trek to the sea but well worth it. Big plus - pet friendly area.
