Guest Reviews

“It was everything I expected and more, home away from home. Woken up to the birds in the greenbelt to hearing the sounds of the sea in the distance.

Beautiful place and I will be back when next in Hermanus if available!!”

— Todd

“Exceptionally elegant and comfortable large loft apartment, with a thatched roof and brass chandeliers giving a luxury game lodge feel. It's accessed by a beautiful spiral staircase. I loved the Nguni hides, pleasant lighting and natural subtle decor. Pristine white linen, enormous beds with romantic snowy mosquito nets, blissfully squishy cushions and cosy blankets made for a very comfortable experience. The kitchen area is well appointed, and the bathroom with waterfall shower is elegant yet compact.
On the first floor in a quiet neighbourhood, there wasn't a sound to be heard.
The host is very welcoming and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. We would have loved to stay longer & will certainly be back!”

— Jean

“Very good stay with Cliff.
We were hosted very well. Cliff gave us some great tips, and the location of the house is ideal, close to everything.

Hermanus is a beautiful city.
We would recommend this listing without hesitation!”
