Hermanus Hotels with Pools

My wife and I stayed at the Harbour House on the night of 31 August 2024. The night was quite cold, so we started a fire in the fireplace. After an hour or so, the room was filled with smoke and we had to evacuate the room. The staff member that came to our room to remove the burning embers, told us that there was a known issue with the fireplace in that room (but apparently not fixed). The smoke alarm did not work. A serious safety risk. The desk agent was able to place us in another room which she stated was not in the same class as the one we booked. The next morning, I spoke to Kevin Masson, the Host Manager. He also acknowledged that there was an issue with the fireplace in Unit #2, but he did not seem at all concerned about our safety. When asked about any compensation related to the smoke filled room, or being move to a tiny room in the other building, he stated that someone at the home office would contact us. No one has reached out to-date. I'm an international traveler, so perhaps I don't understand the local rules associated with fire safety, smoke detectors or how customer service works in South Africa, but this was an awful incident that other potential guests should be aware.

We stayed at the Marine for 3 nights in the 3rd week of September. When we arrived it appeared that our rooms had been cancelled by our booking agent, which was obviously concerning! The General Manager remained calm and suggested we went for a bite to eat to give her chance to sort things out. When we returned a couple of hours later, not only had the problem been sorted, we had also been upgraded to fantastic sea facing suites! During our stay we dined in the restaurant once and had room service twice. The room service meals arrived quickly despite the kitchen being busy, the food was great. The meal in the restaurant was first class as was the service. Breakfast was also delightful with fantastic views over the ocean. All staff were very helpful and always had smiles on their faces. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

What a find! From arrival to departure, we loved every minute. We were staying in the hineymoon suite. Large and comfortable, with AMAZING views. So comfortable. Breakfast great. Fresh fruit, delicious yoghurts and bakes. Wonderful cooked breakfast. Dining room overlooking the pool and oceon. Hosts VERY wrlcoming, and couldn't do enough for us. Simpky a wonderful experience.

Had a splendid 2 night stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The staff made us feel so welcome. They are exceptionally polite and well informed on the surrounding area. We were provided with a map full of helpful suggestions, and a thorough introduction to the lodge and all it's facilities upon check-in. The lodge is located right next to Hermanus New Harbour and a few steps from the cliff path, which is well worth the walk. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. It opens onto a beautiful, well maintained garden area but a few steps from the pool. Breakfast was fantastic (reccommend the Full English!), and a lovely selection of breads, cereals, fruits, cold meats, yogurts etc at the buffet. Truly, no complaints. Would absolutely stay again.

The Sixteen Guesthouse on Main was a lovely property, with 5 fully equipped suites, including a small living room, large bedroom and fully stocked bathroom with shower and tub. The property included large double doors to increase airflow, an exit to the pool with lounge chairs, and chairs directly outside each room. It was easy walking distance to downtown Hermanus either via Main Street (approximately a 10 min walk) or via the ocean road (approximately a 20 minute walk). Anel was a lovely host and provided great restaurant and tour recommendation. I would highly recommend this laid-back guesthouse to anyone traveling through Hermanus.

I liked Baleia. Friendly staff and check-in, even when we were a bit late. Rooms were big and had everything needed. Location and breakfast were good. The only downside is that they seem to have run out of hot water due to a big group staying there. Considering the price, not having hot water was not great, imo. Hopefully this won’t be an issue for other guests in the future.

Great location, nice little pool area and a good family cottage on the premises. Breakkie is nice, fresh but a bit ”standard”. Area is safe and main attraction can be reached on foot. The owner was (after welcoming us) absent, so cannot judge on any activities they would offer /support

The owners and Staff of Hermanus Lodge on the Green is super friendly and helpful, she upgraded us because she had a room open, the breakfast was really great. We just had some bad luck on our 1 night stay, because the wind was blowing like crazy, but would definitely suggest Hermanus Lodge on the Green for a cozy, warm atmosphere.
