Guest Reviews

• Riaan van Rensburg (9/5): Chill in Hermanus - Excellent location. We were able to take our dog - which was a real blessing. Under 5 min walk to the beach and lagoon. Lounges on both levels gives everyone enough space to chill. Kitchen has everything you need. Nothing to note
• Teresa (8/5): Lovely house for family get-together. - Excellent location. Perfect house for a family get together in a relaxed fashion. Comfortable room and bed upstairs. Braai was good! Was quite odd having a totally unstocked kitchen downstairs. Packed the fridge downstairs then had to move everything upstairs. Treacherous stairs if you are older. Water pressure in the upstairs shower not great. Satellite dish not functional stuck in a tree. Microwave door is cracked at the edge.
• Hans Peter (8/5): -
• Lesley (8/5): - Comfortable, spacious house in a good location The house had a large oven in the kitchen which we could not use as the hinges were broken- it wasn’t fixed during our stay. There were other small items that need replacing, eg pedal bin in downstairs kitchen , broken toilet brush. Not all the sliding doors have keys for the locks.
• Julie (8/5): Spacious large house in very good location close to the beach - Very spacious rooms. 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. 4 bedrooms on ground floor with Lounge and kitchenette, ideal for anyone with low mobility or needing disabled access. Lovely to have 2 balconies (first floor) and furniture to make the most of the sun or breeze. Good secure parking. Good communication and responsive host. A bit tired and dated
• Christine (10/5): Lovely big house in fabulous location! - Location! Nothing
• Loren (8/5): A lovely big home in a great area but a little too outdated to be 100% comfortable and good value. - Close to the beach. Very spacious and the upstairs area is light & airy. Enjoyed the patio areas & mountain view. Very helpful host. It needs some general maintenance (e.g. taps, oven, locks) and a freshening up of furnishing (upholstery cleaning) & decor (e.g. replace rugs with holes and cushions). The 'sea view' is very minimal so don't think it should be mentioned.
• Martin (9/5): - Lage und Größe für Familieit 4 Erw Und 3 Kinder. Etwas älter und abgewohnt aber OK
• Melck (9/5): - The house is very spacious and very close to the beach. Nothing
• magerman (8/5): -
• Siphelo (9/5): -
• Simi (10/5): Exceptional!!! - Everything was excellent!!
• Jayleen (9/5): - Loved the place, truly felt like a home away from home. Would definitely go back
• Martin (9/5): -
• Emma (9/5): Great for big groups and a winter stay! - Great big space for a large group to spread out. 2 lounges upstairs, 1 downstairs. Big kitchen and dining table for 10 (plus dining tables outside on both balconies). Kitchen very well equipped. Fireplace made it all very toasty! Very appreciative of the dishwasher. Well situated, beautiful views, plentiful parking. Some appliances need maintenance (coffee machine, toaster and kettle were faulty, stovetop heat management was wonky, wasn'table to use oven at all for strong smell of chemical cleaner) and would be nice to have more than one set of keys for such a large property.
• Elrie (9/5): - Enough seating and couches. Warmwater bags available. Had no dishtowels.
• Carole (9/5): Séjour très agréable entre amis - L’emplacement La taille de la maison Les équipements complets La facilité du check in Il fait un peu froid, surtout au rez de chaussée.
• Jason (9/5): Ups and downs but worth it. - I love the attention to detail of how all utilities was already in the main upstairs kitchen. Literally everything you need they already have. The access to wood downstairs was nice as well... even puzzles are card games upstairs. Everything upstairs met my expectations for the price I paid. The lack of utilities in the downstairs kitchen.. basic things like glasses. Upstairs toilet light was extremely dim and some room lights didn't work or have a bulb in it.
• Nicki (9/5): Superb - The home is very large, and lots of space to relax and entertain. the kitchen is very well equipped with all the usual plus a dishwasher, coffee machine. It was a quiet location, felt very safe and easy enough to take a walk to the beach. We couldn't get the tumbledrier to work or open the door to access the washing line. We did SMS as requested but no response. The braai grill was a bit makeshift
• Du (10/5): Exceptional - Everything you need for your stay is at your fingertips. Fantastic location and so close to t beach.
• Thornhill (8/5): Very good - Spacious living areas, covered braai stoep and well equipped kitchen. Perfect location close to beaches and lagoon. Lots of games to keep us and children busy on rainy days. Downstairs toilet started leaking on Sunday, but because Monday was a public holiday it was not fixed. Unfortunately this was not a pleasant experience for those staying down stairs.The host did allow us a late check out on Tuesday though.
• Troy (9/5): The ideal family home experience. - A massive house that is made for family time. Close to a beautiful beach, away from the busy part of town.
• Ben (9/5): Great experience, perfect location - Great location, great facilities Coffee machine was not operational
• Lourens (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christine (9/5): It was a great time with my friends at an amazing house. - Amazing facilities, rooms, space, and an even more amazing overall vibe and a nice view of the ocean. Had great places to sit around with my friends and have a couple drinks and just relax. Nice and close to the beach making it easy to go back and forth between the house and the beach and only a 5 minute drive to the main part of Hermanus. Great location and great house overall. The only real problem I had was the code for the lock box but due to my own mistakes. Other than that it was all great.
• Bonitaj (8/5): Gut genug - Location great The hygiene in some areas needs attending to. Toilets downstairs. ( Bought toilet cleaner) Dishclothes/kitchen towels... discoloured, just awful. Need replacements. Had to procure our own. The Furry/fluffy throws need replacements. Very worn out.

• Dorinda (7/5): Perfect family getaway! Comfortable, spacious and within walking distance to beach. - Large entertainment area upstairs with fully equipped kitchen and different sitting areas - perfect for the whole family. Downstairs kitchen not equipped - a bit of a hassle when wanting to feed toddler in the middle of the night or if we were sitting downstairs we ended up going back upstairs where we had access to everything. Hand soap bottles in all bathrooms were empty and no body soap (even though included in facilities). Carpeted areas and rugs in need of deep cleansing.
• Marelize (9/5): Perfect getaway for large families, wonderful location & well equipped. - Closeness to the beaches and beautiful views. Multiple living areas and spacious interior. Kitchen well equipped. One of the stove plates didn't work and the other ones got overly hot. We couldn't find any ice trays.
• Kadira (10/5): Exceptional -
