This is what our guests have said about us on Airbnb, Google and Booking.com

  • “The location is absolutely perfect — right on the main street and within easy walking distance of all the restaurants and everything Hermanus has to offer.

    And the view? Just like the name says, it is absolutely spectacular! 😍 The accommodation is modern, beautifully presented and has all the amenities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.

    What really stood out, though, was the communication and hospitality. From before we arrived, throughout our stay, everything was on point. Hospitality at its absolute best and then some!

    Thank you for making our stay, and especially our 10-year wedding anniversary celebration, so incredibly special and memorable. ❤︎ We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special milestone.”

  • Large, spacious, clean, very wellequipped and above all a direct view of the sea, with the chance to observe whales and orcas from the balcony.

    Central location for restaurants and exploring all the sights in Hermanus. Sufficiently large parking space for SUVs. We would come back.

  • “Excellent location, lovely on evenings to look out for the whales, quiet, clean, comfortable, incredibly convenient for cliff walks, restaurants, and shops without being in noisy environment. Staff excellent.”

  • “Perfectly situated in Hermanus; everything in walking distance. Very good hosts with proactive communication about all sorts of topics that can be explored in Hermanus. Flat has all you need and more.”

    — Booking.Com, Michelle, 7 September 2026

  • “The apartment and the hosts are fantastic. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and lots of useful information about the area. It was also great that there were laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid for two loads each. The hosts were very keen to make us feel comfortable. We would come back.”

  • “I’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s over the years and this one is by far the best yet! Super friendly hosts that shared so many great recommendations, helped when we needed more info and checked on to ensure we were fine.

    The place is breathtaking! Best view in Hermanus and so central - you don’t need a car. Hosts went out of their way to make it special for my partner’s birthday. Would 1000% recommend to anyone!”

    — Airbnb. Johan, 14 June 2026

  • “The only reason I’m giving this location 5 stars is that I can’t give it 6 or 7 stars! Absolutely superb location, beautiful place, everything was just perfect. And we saw whales from the balcony! Thank you for lovely stay.”

    — Airbnb, Will, 10 October 2026

  • “Beautiful apartment.
    Incredible views. One morning watched dolphins from the terrace. Later watched whales from the shore nearby.
    Great communications. Very proactive with instructions and recommendations.
    Highly recommended.”

    — Airbnb, David, 8 October 2026

  • “We spent two days in Hermanus on our tour along the Garden Route.
    We can recommend the apartment without reservation!
    The lovingly furnished apartment offers a direct view of the sea and is within walking distance of the center – absolutely ideal. Even before we left, we were able to watch whales breaching from the terrace. The day before, we were able to watch numerous whales in the afternoon. It was sensational!
    Communication with the host was excellent at all times, and we were given lots of great tips. The concierge helped us with our arrival and parking.
    We had an impressive stay in Hermanus and would book the apartment again anytime!
    Thank you!Description goes here”
