The breakfast set out on the balcony was lovely. The service was good, however the quality of a couple of items did not match the setting. Orange juice was not freshly made, bacon reheated, eggs cooked as requested.

The location on the water and under the mountains is exceptional. Great ingredients cooked superbly were just what we needed after several 'fine dining' experiences! Fantastic staff who could not do enough for us.

Hermanus is a beautiful quiet city.
Hermanus is a beautiful quiet city. Close to many Shopping Malls and not even crowded.
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.
A truly wonderful guest house to stay in with natural light, bang on the rocky beach where one hears the sea all night. It offers a great balcony with a braai, comfortable chairs and table and a perfect sea view. Every gadget that can make you feel at home right down to a full spice rack. The apartment was beautifully clean and comfortable. One can do a little walk on the rocky beach. Sadly it is not within walking distance of Hermanus itself but next to the abalone factories with, at times, some acrid smells. Safe parking.
We stayed for the third time at Hermanus Beachfront Lodge. Outstanding location, just on the beach, can enjoy fantastic sea view and sunsets from the balcony in the room. It is a quite part of Hermanus, but lots of restaurants/shops are just 5-10 min drive away.
Rooms are specious and comfortable. Breakfast delicious. Staff is very professional and friendly. Our special thanks to Nomsa for all her efforts to make our stay memorable and so enjoyable. She is a real asset for the business.
Visiting any hotel during deep lockdown level 4 is not an ideal time as no-sit down was allowed at restaurants. However, the wonderful staff at V&L upgraded us to the spacious Sky Room with a separate lounge, big open balcony with the most incredible views over the sea and the main Hermanus village. The facility included a useful kitchenette, plus access to a pool. This was an exceptional stay and would recommend the Harbour House Hotel on the square anytime.
We had the most amazing stay at The Whale's Tale. This absolutely beautiful guest house exceeded all our expectations. Evelyn is a warm and very welcoming host. Our room was huge and very luxurious, with a sea view and beautiful balcony with sun loungers and seating area. Breakfast was delicious. Next time we visit Hermanus, we will definitely stay here for more than one night
The house was open and spacious. We only had one night here, but had we stayed longer we would have made use of the outdoor space. It felt very safe and was quiet. The mall was an easy drive just minutes away to get supplies and we could head back to Cape Town with just a few turns as this is on the far west side of Hermanus.
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.
The rooms were enormous and very comfortable, the dining room was beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff were so friendly and helpful especially Michaela and Gaynor. We enjoyed playing tennis on the court which has amazing views. It was such a relaxing and calm hotel to stay in. 10 minute drive into hermanus.
It was very nice place to stay very close to waterfront, where many restaurants nearby.
The staff were very kind and helpful, they recommended for us the whale watching trip including pickup and return from the hotel (free of charge)
The apartment very clean, comfortable and equipped with everything
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.
This place looks like a tiny Boutique Hotel, the rooms are lovely, there is a lot of attention to small details and you get this instant relaxing feeling as soon as you step in. The host Johan is attentive and friendly, and breakfast is excellent. Top accommodation in Hermanus!
it was our second stay in this hotel after 2023 and the hotel is still fantastic very near from grotto beach in hermanus
the staff and managers are also very friendly. rooms are big and very clan and the breakfast is also very good
we will be back
The hotel is exceptionally located in front of the sea at a walking distance from everywhere in town. The room is big with a great view of the ocean. Meals are served at a very nice restaurant in the same premisses with exceptional quality.
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!
A very good hotel close to centre of Hermanus. Have stayed several times before and will definitely stay again. Great staff that along with secure parking draws us back .
