The pretty Abalone Guest Lodge is a 4-star property at Sievers Point, right on the cliffs overlooking Hermanus Bay, an ideal spot for whale-watching.

Ainsley was top notch no matter what you needed or wanted to plan. No detail was too small for Ainsley to address personally. The cook was best in class, very accommodating and friendly. The staff maintained the Abalone perfectly.

Located against Hermanus Mountain, Selkirk House has spacious rooms with free Wi-Fi and panoramic views over Walker Bay.

This is an exceptional property and extremely well run by Celia, who is an incredibly warm host. The house is very tastefully decorated with several lounge areas and a roof top terrace. The staff provide a wonderful breakfast and the honor bar is very comprehensive. It is one of the best places we have stayed.

Located in Hermanus, this 4-star guest house offers modern rooms overlooking the garden, the mountains or the sea. Bamboo Guest House features an outdoor pool and free Wi-Fi.

I have never been to a place that is kept this well , from the pay per use bar to the user friendly lobby with comfortable chairs and a great place to relax with the other guests and here about their travels and tell them about yours. The breakfast is all you could want and more “excellent” would be the way to describe the whole experience

78on5th is a boutique guest house bordering Fernkloof Nature Reserve, 5 minutes’ walk from Grotto Beach. Rooms feature private balconies with views of the mountains or the Atlantic Ocean.

Jose and Ton are perfect hosts. The accomodation was gorgeous (room 3) - lots of square footage, beautiful big private balcony, and the shared spaces are sweeeeeet. We really felt at home. Nice music in the livingroom with a cozy fireplace, a grand piano that will leave you speechless and the pool lounging area is fantastic. Nice touches with plants, home decor, etc. We had a car so location was perfect. Quiet area, beaches a few blocks away, 5 minutes to downtown and an amazing mountain behind us. Saw the baboons make their trek from mountain to ocean stopping at the trees right off our balcony. 🙂 Highly recommend this stay. Peaceful, private and yet social, clean, beautifully decorated, and the hosts are awesome. They had great suggestions and seemed to know what interested us from our discussions. Great stay!

Harbor House Hotel in Hermanus enjoys the most prominent of positions in the heart of the old harbor area, flanked by the seaside and the bustling center of this holiday town.

It’s a premium convenient location! Get the Harbour (not the Square) it’s just more charming. The staff is friendly, helpful and overall superb and the massage saved me from back pains from driving for hours. All genuinely good.

    What a stunningly beautiful place! From the gorgeously designed, and comfortable, interior, to the beautiful garden and pool area outside, this place definitely has the wow factor! We were made to feel so welcome and were truly spoilt, particularly by the absolutely delicious breakfast. The location is perfect, just a short stroll into town and the seafront. Thank you so much to Leigh and Steven who made our visit to Hermanus so memorable.

    Tnt on Main was absolutely superb. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners really put so much intricate detail into the design of the apartment. The apartment was stylish yet comfortable, creating a nostalgic ambiance. The check-in process was smooth, and Lee-Anne was a lovely hostess. I will definitely be back again:)

    Impossible to fault this well designed and well appointed boutique hotel. The well managed hotel team matched the architecture with impeccable courtesy and service throughout our stay. The location enjoys stunning views of the coast and encourages walking to all the facilities of the town. Our third visit to Hermanus and definitely the best so far. Will return to this delightful place and would highly recommend to all.
