Fantastic facilities but really this is a luxury private break away for couples. Well we enjoyed it! Balcony, fantastic modern well decorated bathroom and bedroom.

Unfortunately we only stayed here for one night but certainly wished it had been longer. Our room was very spacious,comfortable & luxurious. The whole house was beautifully furnished & Ina looked after us extremely well, nothing was too much trouble. We certainly hope to stay for longer next time we visit Hermanus.
