The accommodation was truly a dream. Unfortunately, we were traveling during the severe storm in May, and our original accommodation cancelled our reservation due to power outages and weather conditions. Luckily, the Absolute Ocean Boutique Guesthouse took us in and, despite the power outage (which we knew about beforehand, so we were just happy to have a place to stay for the night), offered absolutely fantastic service. An employee stayed extra late in the evening to welcome us, and in the morning we had a private, very delicious breakfast prepared by the chef with a great view over the sea. All the staff were really very courteous and attentive to us, even though we were the only guests due to the bad weather. The beds were also exceptionally comfortable, and we fell asleep to the sound of the sea. Thank you for the great stay!

This guesthouse is lovely and safe. It is perfectly located with a stunning view. It is in a quiet part of Sandbaai. The rooms are lovely. The bed is comfy. The breakfast served is delicious. The staff were very helpful. The check-in and check-out was easy and hassle-free. I can 100% recommend.

Very well kept and managed entity. Was an absolute pleasure to stay there. The view over the sea is just awesome. Will definitely visit again.

Incredibly kind, helpful and understanding management and staff. Facilities were gorgeous and well maintained. I will be back!

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.

• Ocean Front Rocky Shore Suite

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.

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.
