A pleasant overnight stay with good selection of breakfast choices. Staff very friendly and helpful. Property enclosed with security gate was clean and well presented. Situated right on the outskirts of Hermanus ( 3 miles ) with a coastal footpath connecting to the town with beautiful ocean views along the way. Dutches Restaurant recommended by guest house was only a few minutes walk away on Grotto beach. The food was delicious.

Great place near Grotto beach

Whale Coast Ocean view guest house was perfect - felt like staying in a luxurious seaside home. Everyone was very helpful and welcoming. The location in Grotto Beach - quiet and very upmarket, but close enough to Hermanus and right on the coastal paths for great walks. Breakfast was fabulous- with great coffee! I would have definitely liked to have stayed longer.

I'm difficult to please let alone delight, and i rarely give 10/10. I'm happy to make an exception, because our stay was absolutely amazing. From check-in to check-out, with a delicious breakfast in-between, we were well looked after and extremely comfortable throughout our stay.

Lovely place to stay!

Absolutely lovely place to stay while in Hermanus. My partner and I agreed that it was one of the nicest places we have ended up in - we stayed in room 1 which has a great view, was very large, and was clean and comfortable. It is very close to a beautiful beach, a nature park and cliff walk. The staff were very friendly and we would be thrilled to stay again. My only note is that when there is load-shedding, the outside bell doesn't work so we got stuck outside for a little while with no way to access the building. We got in thanks to some other guests who saw us outside, but getting a bell that doesn't rely on grid electricity seems like it could be a good upgrade! Otherwise had such a lovely time, and thank you to the friendly man at the front desk for being perfectly polite and helpful!

Sehr schöne und einladende Unterkunft, mit einem angenehm persönlichen Flair. Checkin war super und wir wurden gleich gefragt wie wir gerne unser Frühstück am nächsten Tag hätten. Außerdem haben wir viele gute Tipps für Hermanus und auch für unsere weiter Fahrt bekommen. Wir kommen gerne wieder und können es wärmsten weiterempfehlen! ☀️

Conforto

Quarto muito confortável, cama ótima, banheiro grande e limpo. Café da manhã mediano, mas bom. Foram deixadas duas garrafinhas de água cortesia, mas comparando com demais hotéis e guest houses, eram demasiado pequenas. Um pouco distante do centro de Hermanus, mas não comprometeu porque estávamos de carro.
