    welcoming cocktails
    low water pressure

    A delightful return to charm

    Upon arrival, we were greeted with refreshingly unique cocktails and warm smiles from all staff. The exquisite spa and whale watching made our stay feel indulgent and complete.

    The initial water issues marred our arrival. Although the management resolved it quickly, the water pressure was consistently low, which detracted from the experience.

    stunning sea view
    infinity pool
    low water pressure

    great views but water pressure needs improvement

    The location is perfect for whale watching! I was amazed by the breathtaking sea view from my Deluxe King Room. The pools were lovely, especially the infinity pool where I could unwind with a drink while watching the whales in the distance.

    The shower water pressure was disappointingly low.

    delicious food
    welcoming atmosphere
    low water pressure

    Stunning views and cozy vibes!

    We had the best time soaking up the sun by the infinity pool, watching whales from a distance with a drink in hand. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast options—they catered to our every craving! Just wish the water pressure in the shower was a bit better. Still, a lovely experience all around.

    low water
    room privacy

    infinity pool view, unique room decor, whale watching opportunities

    Water issues upon arrival really put a damper on things!!! The low water pressure continued to frustrate, and one pair of binoculars for four guests is simply insufficient!!! More attention to room placement could enhance privacy!!!

    water pressure
    staff training

    the view is nice, but honestly, the low water pressure and one solitary pair of binoculars for four people really ruined everything. i thought they might offer a complimentary gift after such inconveniences, but no such luck. i almost gave a good review, but i just couldn’t, the chaos was far too much to ignore.

    perfect location
    friendly staff
    unique decor
    lack of privacy
    food quality could improve

    the location is perfect for whale watching n the views r absolutly amazin. the staff were super friendly and made us feel special, it was like being at a friends house. we loved the comfy decor and how every room is uniquely decorated. the complimentary cocktails on arrival were such a nice touch, really started our trip off right. oh, and the spa services are really good, def worth a try!

    the privacy in the room was a bit lacking, had to close the shutters all the time. also, the food was good but they could do better.

    infinity pool
    unique decor
    exceptional meals
    low water pressure
    water issue

    i had an unforgettable honeymoon at this hotel, far surpassing my previous stay in hermanus. the views of breaching whales from the infinity pool were surreal, and the unique decor in each room created a cozy atmosphere. the chefs served exceptional meals, especially at dinner where we savored local wines perfectly.

    the water pressure was quite low.
