The breakfast set out on the balcony was lovely. The service was good, however the quality of a couple of items did not match the setting. Orange juice was not freshly made, bacon reheated, eggs cooked as requested.

Hermanus is a beautiful quiet city.
Hermanus is a beautiful quiet city. Close to many Shopping Malls and not even crowded.
Our host, Kosie, went out of his way to make our stay in Hermanus memorable. Even concerned about our safety when the storm wreaked havoc in other parts of the Western Cape. Kosie, along with the owner of the accommodation, advised us to stay an extra night, free of charge and to rather travel home when it was safe to do so.
Kosie and Owner, thank you so, so much for concerning yourself about your guests and put their safety ahead of monetary gain. Will definitely return to Hermanus, Voelklip for my next vacation.

Hermanus is a lovely coastal town with a great array of eating and drinking establishments. It has a nice feel about it and i wouldnt worry about walking around it on my own. The views are stunning and during the Whale Watching season it is truly breathtaking. There are some beautiful winerys around and lots to do. If you're coming over from the UK its great value for money.

We often visit Hermanus and love it there. Great beaches, tidal pools, cliff path walk and views and excellent restaurants too.
Super wine farms nearby and other small towns to explore in the region. A great base from which to discover the Overberg region.

Friendliness of everyone was awesome.
Friendliness of everyone was awesome. Everywhere you went you felt safe and welcome. Very easy to get around. Loved the hiking trails. A must-have is comfortable shoes and clothes for all weather types, because you walk a lot and the weather changes very fast.
A truly wonderful guest house to stay in with natural light, bang on the rocky beach where one hears the sea all night. It offers a great balcony with a braai, comfortable chairs and table and a perfect sea view. Every gadget that can make you feel at home right down to a full spice rack. The apartment was beautifully clean and comfortable. One can do a little walk on the rocky beach. Sadly it is not within walking distance of Hermanus itself but next to the abalone factories with, at times, some acrid smells. Safe parking.
Exceptional experience and happy place to be!
We had the chance to get to know the host Dirk during our 1 night stay. It was such a lovely and welcoming experience. Expect homestay but at best 5* level. You will have more than you can wish for (e g. cold refreshing towels and drinks on arrival, full turndown service, ...) and indeed an incredible breakfast. Area is also very nice and calming with cliffs way prettier than center of Hermanus.
I'd say somebody fulfilled their dream with this place and you can feel it.
Quiet, well maintained and run hotel. The rooms are very nice and it is worth to book the seaview rooms with super view onto the coast... We even saw whales in the bay jumping out of the water and play around... Exceptional staff, always very helpful, kind and here for the guests. The courtesy shuttle to Hermanus worked very well. The location just at the coastline is superb, even though a bit far out of Hermanus. But, with the shuttle no problem.
Tito‘s Omelettes are the best ever eaten! Thanks Tito!
Great and thought through service.
very close by the sea - easy for a swim before breakfast. Towels available at the reception. we also liked the welcome drink at our lovely room with sea view, overlooking the bay over to Hermanus. the board walk along the beach starts riggt in front of the hotel. sunsets are also great to be watched from the balkony.
We had the most amazing stay at The Whale's Tale. This absolutely beautiful guest house exceeded all our expectations. Evelyn is a warm and very welcoming host. Our room was huge and very luxurious, with a sea view and beautiful balcony with sun loungers and seating area. Breakfast was delicious. Next time we visit Hermanus, we will definitely stay here for more than one night
The excellent position next to the cliff top walk. Short Walking distance to centre of Hermanus.
The restfulness of the pool area as no children are allowed.
The comfortable beds, chairs & shower
The access to the kitchen items with crockery, cutlery, microwaves, etc
We found the list of the local restaurants, coffee shops, etc with your comments very useful.
The breakfast was wonderful--very fresh and well prepared. The location was exceptional. The hotel sits on a point overlooking the bay. We had come for whale watching, and could see the whales swimming from our room. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful in making dinner and activity reservation and airport transfers.
The overall experience was exceptional, starting with the amazing location overlooking the ocean, followed by an amazing service by the staff, They really assisted me in organizing my days in Hermanus - hour by hour. I will defiantly repeat this hotel if I had the chance to visit Hermanus again.
This place looks like a tiny Boutique Hotel, the rooms are lovely, there is a lot of attention to small details and you get this instant relaxing feeling as soon as you step in. The host Johan is attentive and friendly, and breakfast is excellent. Top accommodation in Hermanus!
Superb rustic lodging and grounds with a perfect location for Hermanus based excursions. Nice room with private access, good wifi and terrific breakfast. Super attentive staff and simply a delightful, secure place.
We absolutely love this hotel. This was our second time (we enjoyed it so much the first time we decided to book again). This is in our opinion the best hotel in Hermanus. You won't be disappointed.
Everything! Location is incredible and the hotel is lovely. I had seen it when visiting Hermanus previously and knew it’s where I had to stay next time I came. It definitely did not disappoint.
Apartment is centrally located making it ideal for exploring all Hermanus has to offer. Facilities and furnishings are to a high standard and Gina is very welcoming and helpful.
The Auberge Burgundy is such a beautiful hotel! It's perfectly situated in the centre of Hermanus. The little touches in the rooms were so lovely and staff even lovelier.
