Auberge Burgundy Boutique Hotel & Spa, hotel in Hermanus

Boasting a splendid setting between mountains and sea, this charming Provençal style guest house is set in the historic town center of Hermanus, overlooking the picturesque Old Harbor.

The location was superb- right in the centre of Hermanus and surrounded by plenty of restaurants. Despite this,we didn't have any issues with noise during the evening (Hermanus isn't a late night/party place by any stretch). Our room was beautiful and well appointed (robes, tea/coffee/fridge/sitting area). The bed was comfy and the linens were good quality. As other reviews mentioned, the beds do seem slightly shorter than usual. Wifi was strong. We loved the pool area- it was surprisingly peaceful and calm given the central location. Towels provided. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the complimentary port/sherry in the lounge area. The honesty bar was well priced and had a decent selection. Breakfast is at the restaurant next door to the hotel (you need to choose a time to eat breakfast when you check in). The buffet selection was good quality (cheese/fruit etc). Hot options were tasty.

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.
