We stayed in the penthouse suite, and it was absolutely amazing! 🏖️ The room was incredibly spacious, with panoramic windows offering breathtaking views of the ocean — we even spotted whales! 🐋 Complimentary wine and a fully stocked minibar, along with a coffee machine, snacks, and fresh fruits, added a luxurious touch. The suite also featured a steam room and jacuzzi, which were fantastic for relaxing. The warm welcome with coffee and juices set the tone for a great stay ☕🧃. Breakfast was excellent, with made-to-order omelets or eggs and a delicious buffet. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making our stay even more enjoyable. 🙌 The location was perfect — all the best restaurants are just a 5-minute walk away, and there’s an oceanfront trail ideal for walks and runs with stunning views 🌊🏃‍♂️. Highly recommend this hotel for an unforgettable stay in Hermanus! 🌟

This is a peaceful, bright, airy, fairly spaceous yet comfy & cosy place to stay. It is immaculatley clean & nicely decorated. I was immediately made to feel at home & I did. I asked for gluten free bread & it was provided (& it didn't look like shop bought bread, so I assume they had to search for it). They really take care with food intolerances/allergies which is such a lovely respite from the usual ignorance I encounter. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choice & lovely tea. The bar is well stocked with variuos beers, ciders, spirits & wines etc. The bed was super comfy, the bathroom big enough to party in, the shower cubicle could fit a baby elephant & low level ,dim LEDs came on when the bathroom door opened. They even provided european socket adapters without me asking, again, very thoughtful. It was still winter when I visited it must be great to be in the garden in warmer weather. This would be a great choice for large families or small groups of friends too.

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

Best stay in South Africa! Just amazing place with amazing hosts. Celia welcomed us so nicely, she took care of us all along the stay and advised us a lot. Thank you! 🙏🏼 The room is really comfortable, with the patio behind it is really peaceful. And the breakfast is amazing. We will come back for sure!

What an exceptional place to stay in Hermanus! The views from both the room and the main terrace are absolutely stunning, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome, and the check-in process was quick and effortless. The service is truly five-star—Jocelyn and Ansley go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels at home. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and their attention to detail is remarkable. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful extras, like the honesty bar both in the room and by the pool, as well as the availability of beach towels and foldable seats for outings. We also had the privilege of enjoying a fantastic Christmas dinner and lunch prepared by a talented local chef, which made our stay even more special. This property is an absolute gem and comes highly recommended. If you’re looking for a luxurious, welcoming, and unforgettable stay in Hermanus, this is the place to be!

We liked the location. Away from the noise of the city centre, but walking distance or short drive to the city centre, restaurants, shops and stores. But most of all we loved that we had a sea view.

It was a beautiful apartment in the Hotel. It was super spacious and clean. The location was also perfect, in the middle of town right by the ocean. The pool and breakfast was also great.

Our stay at Misty Waves Boutique Hotel was simply wonderful. The standout feature was undoubtedly the exceptionally friendly staff. From check-in to check-out, their warm hospitality made us feel at home. I would highly recommend this property (not the onsite restaurant) for guests who value a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service.
