Book your stay here!

I loved everything about this place. Easy to access and situated at the best location. I can’t compliment and thank the staff enough from when you arrived. Leah (who is the new management from last year November ) was exceptional. She welcomed us with so much warmth and made us feel at home. Kenny was took care of us even after hours, made sure we had access to everything we needed in the evenings with so much smile and unwavering. The breakfast was out exceptional. We had quiet restricting dietary requirements but Leah and Chef Jaco went out of their way to accommodate us, to be honest we’ve never experienced such hospitality in most places it’s always “sorry we can’t” but they made for we are catered for, and for that they’ll always have special place in my heart❤️ felt like we made new family there. Steven, supported Chef in the mornings and ensured our room is kept exceptionally clean. Thank you to all the Absolute team. We are definitely coming back for the whale season!* The new management has really made the place stunning and a home away from home.

Great chill out location after busy SA tour

Great host and staff. Clean, tidy and comfortable.. Great breakfast. Honesty bar includes wine, beer water and soft drinks and chocolate/crisps. Easy parking.. Beautiful views. Spacious. Lovely garden area and plunge pool. Right on beachfront and coastal path. Located in quiet residential area a few miles away from main Hermanus centre but easy drive, easy parking or short Uber ride away.

Would have loved to stay longer.

Léah and her team welcomed us like friends, so we would have liked to stay longer. We enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast in our penthouse apartment with a sea view.

Awesome stay with great view

The room was huge, clean and very well equipped with everything you would need. The view of the balcony to the sea was beautiful - we also enjoyed the breakfast with the same view! The inner courtyard is beautifully laid out and the small pool is perfect for a brief cool down if you require it. The coast line is perfect for a morning walk or run.

Well-maintained and lovingly situated right on the rugged coastline

The location by the sea is unique and the local team is very accommodating. The garden behind the house is a lovely place to relax. Everything is lovingly furnished and everything has been thought of (bathrobes, beach towels, etc.). The accommodation is secured against burglary in multiple ways.

Very good experience.

We have had an excellent stay at this guesthouse. The location is simply fantastic, with a magnificent sea view that makes every moment even more enjoyable. The rooms are bright, comfortable and very well maintained. The team is particularly welcoming, attentive and always very responsive, which contributes to a warm and relaxed atmosphere. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. An address that we recommend without hesitation.
