The exterior photos do not do the interior justice at all. This is a luxurious B&B that is well-appointed and has stunning sea views. We stayed in April 2019 in an upstairs King Suite and really enjoyed the 180-degree sea views, especially in the mornings. The room has a wonderfully comfortable bed, well-equipped bathroom, fridge, DStv and most small things you will need in a B&B. Our hosts, Monica and Marna, were very friendly and looked after us exceptionally well. Delicious morning breakfasts on the balcony were a highlight, the ladies' home-made 'fruit salad' starter was a hit! (Very) slight downsides : the reflection of the sun off the sea can be a bit hectic in the afternoons, and summer would be hot as there is no aircon in the King Suite. The room is geared mostly for eating out or take-out food and is not ideal for self-catering. Privacy on the top floor is not perfect as the balcony is shared with other top-floor guests; although I gather this aspect might be addressed through some renovations soon. Other than that - a wonderful place to spend a few days and use as a base for exploring the many things the area has to offer.

•Summary: You will not be able to top the views, the food, the fireplace, the service and more! When we booked in, we were told that the owner and host upgraded us to a larger room, with even a better view over the sea. The whales were around every day. We were treated with a scrumptious breakfast every morning (you choose from various options on the menu the day before). The yogurt and fruit were very tasteful and fruit very fresh. Now we already miss the excellent breakfasts, with whales swimming close to us in the ocean – you will not even get this in the whale mecca of Hermanus! The guest house consists of various rooms, with parking behind building for 3 vehicles, but there is safe parking in front of the guest house. Monica even lit the fireplace for us every evening and we enjoyed our dinner in front of a warm fire place – you cannot ask for more. The rooms were tidy, linen clean, bed firm enough for a good night’s sleep.
