We spent 2 nights in a beautifully decorated and spacious room with amazingly comfortable beds and gorgeous linen. The indigenous garden is a delight. The breakfast was scrumptious and we loved the fresh fruit salad served in pineapple. The stewed fruit in rooibos tea was very South African and superb. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the staff were very... More

We only spent one night but thought it was a delightful guest house. Our rooms were lovely it was just a pity that we had asked for two twin bedded rooms and one was a double and as there were no other rooms available one of our party had to sleep on the sofa, but this was not too much... More

Lovely guest house, very clean and very friendly. Do think the pool area needs an upgrade and the garden needs a good clean up. It is very calm atmosphere but an upgrade would make it that much better. The rooms were very adequate, but lighting outside could be improved, one has to be very careful late at night walking to...

Nice hotel with a charming classic cape dutch style main house (with a thatched roof and everything) and a lovely garden. It's a nice 15 min walk to town, which happens to be along a gorgeous cliff with stunning views, so we didn't mind the distance at all. The rooms are a little old/musty feeling, and there was a little... More

We stayed one night at House on Westcliff on a weekend trip to the fantastic Hemel en Aarde Valley wineries. The bedroom was spacious, clean, well decorated and quiet, facing out onto the garden with pool. From just outside the B&B there are magnificent views of the ocean and surrounding mountains. The centre of town, new harbour and cliff-side walk... More

The place is also very good, a woderfull garden with pool and relaxing areas, the lounge/breakfast room with an honesty bar (a... More

We stayed here one night after flying into Cape Town as the drive was only an hour or so. All the rooms face a beautiful garden area and just a very short walk away is the coastal path you can take for a very long walk. It provides stunning views so it is a great idea to stay here and... More

We spent three nights here as the guidebooks seemed to indicate that there was more than just whales here (too true!) Lovely bedroom with huge bed and plenty of hot water. Re-filled plastic bottle of water in the fridge might not be to everyone's taste but environmentally sound. We saw whales every day of our stay and had a truly... More

We only stayed one day and wished we had stayed longer. Both the B and B and Hermanus itself are delightful. Our hostess couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful, the room everything we hoped for and the breakfast simply couldn't have been bettered for choice and quality (oh - and the subdued background music both on arrival and at...

We spent 3 nights here, very impressive! Our room was spacious, clean and great en-suite. Very quiet spot, secure, and a lovely 30 minute stroll along the cliff path to town centre. The staff were extremely helpful and gave us alot of useful information about the area. Introducing us to the 'Portfolio' book of B&Bs in S Africa helped us... More
