Clean quite lovely people
Close to restaurants lovely town
We had a very comfortable stay at Baleia, from location to breakfast it all contributed to an overall excellent choice.
The only downside for us traveling with expensive equipment was that the door lock to the room was very flimsy, but we had no issues.
Excellent location, extremely helpful host. Very good amenities. Very peaceful, excellent breakfast, Janka couldn’t do enough for us during our stay. Can definitely recommend and will certainly be back.
Very good location - a short walk from the town where there are multiple restaurants. Very helpful owners who gave good tips and a useful map. Very nice room set around an attractive courtyard with small pool (which we didn't use). Great breakfast.
Very very pleasant owners. We felt like a home and the mother Daughter
Treated us like a family. I would defiantly recoment this homely feeling guest house.
Our stay was for 2 nights. Our room was across the pool patio, through the reception and breakfast rooms. The room was very spacious, as was the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. It was all lovely and clean. The hosts were very friendly and full of information - Chris and Jonka and the team. Location couldn't have been better. On site parking was secure and we were able to walk to the nearby restaurants and bars in the Hermanus town centre. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful - cooked to order and homemade preserves and honey too which was available to purchase at a low cost. mmmmmmm Pool towels were supplied and there was a fully stocked onsite bar with an honesty box. Will definitely stay longer next time.

Definitely not a 4*
Very disappointed. More of a basic BnB. The place needs updating and modernisation. The mismatch curtains let the sunlight in before 6am, rooms need air conditioning as ceiling fan is not sufficient for temperatures in mid to high 20s. There was no mention on Hotels.com website that WiFi is available for limited hours nor that there are cats roaming around freely (saw one comfortably sleeping between clean pile of towels for pool use). Other guests might not have a problem with this but due to allergies it was not pleasant for us. Too pricey for what it is
Secure parking and good breakfast
Wonderful service from the owners, nice breakfast and quaint guest house. Good lication within walking distance to see the whales and restaurants. Only thing that could be improved is the taps in the shower were tricky to control water temp. Otherwise this place is reasonable and a delightful place to stay!
Top notch. Comfortable, modern and value for money
Great breakfast, owners are kind and welcoming, the rooms were first class and the price was very reasonable. I'd stay there every time I'm in Hermanus.
Really nice B&B with very friendly owners - excellent breakfast, perfect location with short walk to the centre of Hermanus and the coastal path - all in all great value
