Cliff Cottage Hermanus, hotel in Hermanus

Located just across the road from the famous Hermanus cliff paths, Cliff Cottage offers spacious, Cape Dutch-style en-suite double or twin bedrooms and family suites, with garden entrances, off-street...

What a lovely little gem! Great location, lovely room, exceptional garden and breakfast. The staff were great! We were the only people there.....literally! There is a cliff top walk very close to the guesthouse. You can follow it (left) to the lovely Ficks restaurant set into the cliffs! We opted to Uber back for safety (although, it was only a 5+ minute walk). We were fed like kings! lol

Hermanus Boutique Guest House, hotel in Hermanus

Offering deluxe accommodations and the possibility to experience whale-spotting, Hermanus Guest House is just yards from scenic cliff paths and rock pools.

The hotel is beautifully appointed. Very comfortable room. Lovely “wine hour” to connect with other guest (great way to find out about wineries to visit!!) Great location with parking. However, just far enough from town that we drove to dinner. Safe and an easy walk during the day.

Whale Coast Ocean Villa, hotel in Hermanus

Whale Coast Ocean Villa in Hermanus provides adults-only accommodations with a terrace and a shared lounge. The air-conditioned accommodations are a 4-minute walk from Grotto Beach.

The breakfast was good. A good selection of food. The accommodation was great, very neat and clean. I simply loved the shower. It was close to all the amenities. Our family was there for the whale tour and the accommodation was so close to the Southern Right Charters. Thumbs up for the location.

Nautilus Guest House, hotel in Hermanus

Just 984 feet from the oceanfront, the 4-star Nautilus Guest House is a thatched residence with a seasonal outdoor pool and stylish rooms. Its staff can arrange whale watching and shark-cage diving.

It was a really cozy place! The decor and furnishings were lovely. Breakfast was great! The staff were really helpful and accommodating. Lovely rooms, spacious bathroom. Our room even had an outdoor bbq area, which was fab! The property is very conveniently located, too, within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, etc. The photos on booking.com really don't do justice to the property. It actually looks so much better!

    The place is very cute! Wi-fi needs improvement as it is very slow (had to use my data all weekend) But overall, very nice & tidy! Super cute place. It is a little outside hermanus, rather in Vermont. I feel like that should be communicated better! But great host :)

Everything was super easy, house is just off the main road so super quiet, yet accessible to everything you need. Tons of recommendations and tips on Hermanus. Totally worth every penny and for sure I would strongly recommend.
