This is a lovely guesthouse, a short walk into central Hermanus. Kirsten, our wonderful, friendly host, was there to greet us and was very informative on what to see and do in the area. There is a cliff path across the road from the guesthouse that takes you along the cliffs into Hermanus, and it is a stunning walk, especially in the morning as you walk to Cafe Anna where the included breakfast is served. I would highly recommend this accommodation for location and friendliness off the staff.
