Positive: We had a wonderful stay at Kirsten’s guesthouse! She welcomed us so warmly and was always super friendly and helpful — we really appreciated the personal contact and the great communication via WhatsApp. The guesthouse and rooms are beautifully decorated with lots of attention to detail, and the location is perfect — just a short walk to the town center and the hiking trail. Highly recommended!
Summary: Lovely guesthouse at Hermanus
