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.

Nette Gastgeber, gutes Frühstück und bequemes Bett. Das B&B liegt ca. auf der Hälfte des Cliff Walks zwischen Stränden und Zentrum von Hermanus. Für eine Nacht waren wir sehr zufrieden.
