I think the guest house is perfectly situated half way between the shopping areas and beaches . It has direct access to the cliffpath for a walk or run with beautiful views of Hermanus. The hosts are very welcoming and you really feel at home in their spacious and modern house. The breakfast was delicious! We had a very good time.

Lovely stay
Stay was very brief but very nice. The B&B was of a very high standard, large rooms, very modern and nicely laid out. Breakfast was tastey and good size portions. Owners were very friendly and helpful.
