Memorable wedding anniversary

We spent 3 nights at Absolute Ocean Boutique Guesthouse in Sandbaai. Very good first impression on arrival as we were greeted and welcomed by a very knowledgeable Kenny. Hotel and gardens are beautifully maintained and clean. Room and huge bathroom beautifully appointed. Great bed. Great sea view from balcony. Chef Stephen provided freshly cooked breakfast every morning, going so far as to accommodate our dietary requirements. Very friendly personality. Great location, near shops, bistros and restaurants in Hermanus. It being winter season, the quiet peacefulness was well worth the price. Will definitely be recommending them to all my friends and family. Thank you manager Leah for your assistance and friendliness.

Our stay @Absolute ocean was truly special from the moment we arrived. We were welcomed with such genuine warmth that it immediately felt like a home away from home. The peaceful, homely atmosphere made it easy to relax and unwind, and every little detail reflected the care and hospitality of Steven and Leah!
Thank you for making our stay so memorable. We left with grateful hearts and can't wait to return. Highly recommended to anyone looking for comfort, warmth, and exceptional hospitality!

A cozy room with a luxurious ocean view

I really liked Hermanus and this hotel right next to the ocean. A small but very comfortable room, an unforgettable holiday with the sound of the surf.

Breathtaking Views from a Luxury Room

The Absolute Ocean is an amazing property right on the beach in Sandbaai. The roaring ocean waves and the stony coast make for soothing sleep and breathtaking views. A coastal walking path goes right in front of the property to start the day with a nice walk. The breakfast is prepared by the on-site chef to perfection with delicious options. Our rooms were expertly decorated and the bed and bedding were luxury hotel quality. More than anything, the views from the room make this property worth every cent! Each room has a beautiful balcony and seating area to enjoy the most stunning ocean views morning, noon and night!! Leah and the team took care of all our needs and went over and above many times during our stay. The location is easy to find, secure parking available and only a few minutes from the harbour area where you'll find outstanding food and bev options. Wish I had a 6th star to give!!
