Exceptional Beachside Retreat
This guesthouse is undoubtedly one of the best beach B&Bs I’ve ever visited. The decor is charming, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Its location is spectacular, offering breathtaking views of the ocean. The hosts were incredibly sweet, making the stay even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding, and the view from the Oyster room was simply unbelievable. A perfect beachside retreat that I highly recommend!

Superb location and service
Hotel is in superb location with stunning views. We walked to local restaurants, the Fat Fish was superb. Excellent breakfast and staff who can’t do enough. Recommend it for your stay. Two very minor issues - sadly we didn’t have sea view and the wind blew the door open if not locked.

Excellent host and a wonderful location.
From a lovely welcome onwards our stay was relaxed, comfortable and exactly what we had hoped for. Our 2 rooms were both very well plamned and equipped, and the upstairs room was particularly spacious. Breakfast was tasty and gave us an opportunity to chat with both the hosts and a guest. We could walk from the door to the beach in 2 minutes, and enjoyed both the upstairs deck and the garden when relaxing at the b&b. Top marks for wonderful hosting. Thank you.

Beautiful ocean views & pristine hospitality
We were warmly welcomed, and shown to secure parking and a lovely room. Everything was completely clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated in coastal whites. It was a pleasure listening to the waves overnight. It is located right on the coast, and only about a 10-minute drive to Hermanus old harbour. Our hosts were extremely courteous and welcoming, and able to provide tips on parking in Hermanus, which we appreciated.

Let down by its cleanliness and the service
Very pretty guest house right on the beach in Sandbaai, approximately 7-10 minutes drive from the town center of Hermanus. The location is picture perfect! Our room was comfortable if a little on the small side - equipped with a fridge, coffee station, air conditioning and the usual amenities. The owner, Jena, was lovely and made us feel very welcome. This was sadly not our experience of the rest of the managerial and kitchen staff. Service at breakfast was dismissive and the “chef” bordered on being rude. Food was adequate although parts of the buffet offering had not been covered and had attracted flies. The standard of housekeeping was not good. I have a pet hate which is finding previous guests’ hair in the room. Unfortunately, there were several long hairs on the bath mats, on the hairdryer itself and on the shower tiles which I found most off-putting. In short, this was fine for a one night stay but it would require a huge improvement in its cleanliness and service standards for us to consider booking here again.

incredible views and exceptional service
An amazing place to stay. The views are incredible! It’s such a quaint place with incredible views of the sea. We had a relaxing stay. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and kindly made us dinner reservations in town the evening we arrived. Breakfast was exceptional and they even gave us recommendations for our drive to the next town and where to stop for lunch.

Brilliant place to stay, even with a four year old and a two year old. Initial thoughts on arrival included nervousness about how our children might damage the property in some way as it is so pristine and doesn't immediately feel child friendly. In reality the owners went out of their way to make our kids feel welcome, including Disney crockery. Belinda was really helpful re scenic routes to drive and restaurants to visit. Would recommend staying here to friends definitely.

Amazing place. Right from check-in the staff here go way beyond what was expected, taking the initiative in booking us a table at a local restaurant and a taxi there and back at peak Christmas time was such a lovely touch.
