The service, cleanliness and decor were first rate. We had booked a luxury sea view room and the view was gorgeous. Unfortunately the room was tiny with only room for the bed and one small chair - we did not feel that particular room (226) represented good value for money (£1491 for 3 nights). Reception said they had no other room available. Other rooms were much more spacious. The help received when one of our phones was lost while out in Hermanus, including a late checkout, was outstanding.

Lovely property deserving of every accolade from the moment of check in , when we were offered hot towels for our faces and honey lemon rooibus tea. Rooms were plush, the staff was very attentive without hovering. Both the complimentary breakfast and our fabulous dinner were 5 star.

Loved the property and the staff. Only issue we had was when it rained hard we could hear it constantly in the room on second floor - beyond what I would say is normal for a hotel. It sounded like there was a tin roof instead of a ceiling. The staff and food was incredible and same with overall rooms. Despite the rain issues would stay here again any day.

We came away for two nights to be close to the beach and within easy drive of the two wine valleys - Elgin and Hemel en-Arde. The welcome by hotel staff was superb and we thought highly of the Pavilion Restaurant. The sea view room was well appointed and we loved the high quality bed linen.

Despite a few issues Michel, General Manager, went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful time at the hotel. His team clearly enjoy being at the hotel and ensuring everyone is having a great time and helping out with any queries or reservations. Ensure you take a trip to Creation for the wine tasting which is memorable. We will return for Whale watching next year.

The location of this historic hotel is magnificent, on the cliff edge high above the sea. It has wonderful views of Walker Bay and is very accessible to the town centre. The staff and service are excellent. We loved our charming room. The interiors are beautiful, the main lounge has been redecorated and is stunning. We loved having breakfast outside in the front of the hotel with sea views. Excellent wifi, easy free parking. We would love to return and would recommend this hotel.

Fantastic location, good ambience, top breakfast, but not as good as same group hotel Plettenberg. Nice old buildings, but need more maintenance. “Tired” and old noisy windows kept me awake in nights , because of strong winds. Staff tried to fix, but no luck. Same reason wind made it gold in the room. Still very good and memorable stay.
