Hermanus Hotels

Host was very friendly and went out of her way to make me comfortable. They serve the most delicious breakfast, in particular their fruit salad. What I liked is that I was fully orientated to the guesthouse and invited to sit in the lounge because my room was very small. I cannot complain about it, because I paid a very low price for it. I received a complimentary upgrade on my last night. The hostess was anazing

The decor in the small room

cliff walks. Food in restaurants in town

This was a very clean, smart, comforable hotel. Bathrooms very well stocked and up-to-the minute design. Breakfast superb in balcony room overlooking sea.

Very stylish

comfort

price

Luxurious accomodation with a distinctly upmarket atmosphere. Food excellent with helpful and pleasant staff.

The old english feel, the breakfast, the sea view

No DSTV

Not a lot. Rooms were small and very dated and the general repair of the hotel was poor. A refurbishment is urgently needed!

The Baleia is well-located, very comfortable and very well run. Rooms are a good size with excellent modern bathrooms. Breakfast is of an excellent standard. The owners are charming and always helpful

Owners made us very welcome and gave us lots of information. Rooms were beautiful, clean and a good breakfast. A really nice guesthouse in a very good position, close to centre of Hermanus.

Very helpful, clean, nice room. No internet available.

Family-run hotel with responsible and helpful service. Nice breakf. Assistance in solving minor travel issues. Clean, comprehensive and reasonably priced. Would stay again.

Car is essential, however everywhere in SA. Free internet would be a good compliment without much expenses. IMHO activities booked through the hotel are rather on top-price level.

Location, Cleanliness

Great value for money. Found on the web and was my first choice.

No complaints.

In their PR the lodge mentioned that you can stay at you balcony o see the whales but it was at least 300 m to the see. And at least 9 km från the city without any restaurants in the near. We got very disappointed and choose to leave the hotel in spite we hade to pay. We found a very nice hotel just oppesite the ocean.

False information I couldn´t have seen a whale from that distance. Not every hotel in Hermanus can see whales an dolphins.

We only stayed two nights at the Lavender Manor, but we could happily of stayed longer if our travel plans had allowed. Our lovely hosts immediately made us feel welcome and at home. The bedroom was roomy, clean and very comfortable with immaculate crisp white linen on the bed. This was our first visit to South Africa, but the welcome and hospitality which we received at the Lavender Manor was typical of all that is best about this beautiful country. We sincerely hope to return in the not too distant future.

Nothing

Perfect location for very reasonable price. Very luxery large rooms.it was a pleasure to be there and therefore we went back on our way home.

The owners were friendly and the room adequately furnished but as the weather was cold and wet it was not welcoming to walk into such a cold room. Breakfast was very good.

Unfortunately we found this hotel the worst and most overpriced during our 17 day stay in South Africa. It was also too far away to walk to the central area and we were told by the owner that there were no taxis.

good brekfast, friendly owner

Could do with a blind on the skylights - wake up at 6am otherwise

The rooms were very nice, and the staff was very friendly. I liked the courtyard with the pool, very relaxing to sit by.

The wireless internet did not reach to our room.

Excellent, owners were a bit too friendly, sitting with us, the only guests at breakfast but they were excellent. Hotel is great for whale watching but Novenber is getting late.

The room could have benefitted from a good dust but was OK

able to see Whales from our balcony frolicking in the sea

none

The position is excellent. The public rooms and the food is really good. The pool area is fine.

The top management was ineffectual.

I found everybody very helpful and the Seafood resturant excellent

Staff is extremely friendly!

The rooms are very old fashioned! For those interested in old fashioned furniture this hotel is highly advisable! For younger couples I would advise a different location.

The friendly and incredibly helpful staff. We were so impressed by Misty Waves.

Nato. He was a great host!!! He went above and beyond with everything. Would love to come back and stay at this establishment.

We found the owners very welcoming and friendly and appreciated the African themed decor of the public spaces. The view from our balcony of the sea and the mountains was spectacular and well worth paying a little extra for.

We thought the room and particularly the bathroom, looked rather tired and could do with up-dating.
