69 guests' feedbackVery rare for me to give a 5 but this place was brilliant. Big and homely. Close to shops. Right near the beach and MTB trails just up the road. We will return. Thank you.
This was our second visit and will definitely come again.
We were very pleased with the stay and feel that the photos reflect the place correctly. The blinds need attention, but the owners are aware of it. The owner was also there immediately when the one toilet and light did not work and was very friendly and helpful. We would love to stay there again in the future. It would have been very nice if there were at least some tea bags, instant coffee and 250 ml of milk for people who arrive very late. I would also have appreciated at least one two-point plug and a hair dryer, and a sponge scrubber for dirty pans. Two suggestions I wouldn't mind paying for.
We felt at home and welcome right from the start and were immediately able to take advantage of every moment. The cottage is well equipped and sensibly furnished. The personal involvement and friendliness of the owner and manager was another plus. Will definitely use this gem again.
The cottage was clean, tidy, and offered an amazing view of the sea that we absolutely loved. The beauty of the ocean was a highlight of our stay, and we spent many hours admiring it from the comfort of the cottage. One aspect that stood out to us was the extra effort made to ease loadshedding. We were impressed to find rechargeable LED lights in the cottage, which proved to be a huge help during power outages. The lights provided us with enough illumination to move around the cottage comfortably, and we appreciated the thoughtfulness. We were also happy to find that the wifi still worked during loadshedding, which was a welcome surprise. It was important for us to stay connected during our stay, and the fact that the wifi remained operational was a huge plus. Overall, we highly recommend Beach Cottage 1 for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. We look forward to returning in the future.
Very nice stay every time, location is perfect.
Our time was so nice, we wanted to stay longer!
See stars.
We could just relax and hang out together with a picture-perfect view from the porch. It was perfect for our morning coffees and a sundowner. All facilities were clean and comfortable. We come again!
Beautiful view and comfortable accommodation.
It was a very nice visit. We come again.
Really a lovely little cottage along the seaside. If you have very small kids the stairs will be a problem for you. Location is also a bit far from the town and immediate shops if you need anything quick, so rather just take it all. But overall we had a lovely time and enjoyed listening to the waves and fresh ocean smells.
Great time in a peaceful atmosphere. Will be on again.
The owners were very friendly and a call away to assist you when you need something. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone.
The whales were active and seen every day.
This is a real cottage by the sea. At night you go to sleep with the noise of the sea in your ears. It's well equipped and has everything you need. Would be nice if there were a little more details in the cottage about nice places to eat and places of interest in the area.
Location is very good. Friendly area.
What a lovely place set in a perfect location. Quiet and serene. Perfect for a weekend getaway.
Location is perfect to experience the tranquility of nature with easy access to walking paths along the sea. Most beautiful sunset. Definitely worth it for a break. Owner is friendly and very helpful.
We enjoyed staying at Beach House for 3 nights. Although it was winter and cold, it was cosy inside, especially when the fire was lit upstairs. The house was spotless and the beds were really comfortable. The big favourite was of course the fact that we were so close to the beach and the pedestrian walkway. What an absolute treat to walk and smell and hear the ocean. We will definitely be back for another relaxing and comfortable holiday. Thank you O'Nel and Theunis. It was a pleasure meeting you.
Beach Cottage 1 is a lovely holiday home. We really enjoyed it and relaxed. The house is equipped with everything you need for self-catering. The view of the sea is beautiful and the sunsets very lovely. The owners even came to say hello. I definitely recommend it and would stay there again.
Had an amazing time and would love to go back soon.
We had a very nice stay. The upper level has a beautiful view of the sea and has a nice social area with braai facilities. The beds are very comfortable. The location is good and close to shopping centers and heaven and earth valley. Definitely worth it.
The house is large and comfortable and well equipped. Ideal holiday home for family or group of friends. Will definitely be our first choice if we stay in the Hermanus area again.
The location of the house is good and makes it easy to walk to the sea. Maybe just a little attention could be paid to the bedding. It was clean, but it was outdated. The sofas on the upper floor could do with a coat of paint. Nevertheless, we had a great time.
Very well located, close to beach and walking paths. Had a great time on the upper porch.
We had an awesome weekend.
We enjoyed our visit and were even allowed to leave later, for which we were very grateful. The place is still to be recommended, but could do with an upgrade/renovation, for example the stove and bathrooms need attention.
Located in a quiet and peaceful area, just a short walk from a cliffside walkway. Most beautiful view. Fully equipped. Rooms are spacious. We had a wonderful time and rest!
Thank you for the kind assistance from the agent.
Very popular resort, beachfront excellent, Rotary Way is a wonderful drive. Enjoyed our stay.
See stars.
Beautiful comfortable cottage fully equipped with stunning views. Will definitely be back.
What amazing service by the host to welcome us and ensure we were comfortable and happy in all respects!
The cottage is well situated and has everything you need. The service and communication from the host was excellent. I would definitely return.
The only downside was that there was no swimming beach nearby. It's perfect for a family with small children who play in rock pools.
Tranquility, scenery, calmness.
See stars.
The cottage is located in a great spot, with sea views from the upper floor and from one of the downstairs bedrooms, and in close proximity to the walking trail overlooking the sea. The cottage has everything one needs, and when we found that the kettle was tripping the electricity and we emailed the owners, we received a replacement kettle in about a half-hour, which was excellent service.
Anine was excellent. She was always available, we had a small issue which sorted ASAP! Well done, Anine.
Lovely cottage in a lovely location, but the DStv wasn't working for the duration of our stay. The cupboards in the kitchen probably need a good scrub as the handles were all sticky. We couldn't set the alarm at night as per the instructions given to us and had to sort it out ourselves by getting the security company in as the instructions given were incorrect. There is also a building site across the road which was very noisy during the day and we couldn't use the balcony during the day due to the builders staring at us.
Please update the security information because we didn’t know that we had to all stand still in the house in order to arm/active the alarm from inside the house.
Perfect! The location, the residence, the view, the decor, the comfort, the furniture and equipment the atmosphere and I could go on! Thank you very much for allowing us to stay in this gem of yours. 2020 was not easy in many ways, but after the holidays we went home with a feeling of absolute gratitude, tranquility, perspective and peace. We will definitely go again.
Beach Cottage 1 has a wonderful sea view and is equipped with everything you need for a nice break. The indoor braai and living area are ideal for a family outing.
Top storey is the place to be.
We had a great stay. The stoep is lovely and we braaied. We really enjoyed walking every afternoon. Thank you for a great getaway.
Loved the beautiful cottage with stunning views. It's so peaceful and quiet! Just what we needed and what great and friendly service. I will definitely be back!
The location of the house is perfect, you can see the sea and then there is enough living area, rooms and bathroom to really enjoy the time.
Amazing place, very peaceful. Will definitely go back again.
A nice little house with enough space for all, well equipped with a braai inside and a small braai outside. Beautiful view from the balcony.
The house is perfectly located, safe and relaxing, well equipped. We really enjoyed it and didn't miss anything at home, see you again soon!
Great weekend! We would love to stay in Beach Cottage 1 again. Value for money and very relaxing.
Very tidy with excellent facilities and a very nice view. The service was excellent.
Absolutely enjoyed the peaceful environment. The weather was amazing. The beach cottage was comfortable and met my expectations. The view was to die for. Highly recommended.
Perfect getaway even with rain (built-in braai) to see, hear and smell the sea! There are some stairs that made it a little difficult with a toddler, but even she enjoyed the walks along the sea and playing in the pools. The location is ideal - out of the hustle and bustle of Hermanus but also close enough to explore it. The dishwasher was a winner! The towels smelled amazing.
Beach Cottage 1 was beautiful, well-equipped and very close to the walking or jogging track. Big enough for a family of 4 to 6. We enjoyed the large patio. Fine detail such as chocolate on arrival was very special. We will visit Beach Cottage again.
It's a beautiful house with lovely rooms and a wonderful view!
We had a wonderful time. Especially enjoyed the upstairs family room with the sea view and built in braai area. Would not recommend to families with small children or elderly persons who have difficulty with balance and knee problems as the stairs to the upstairs family room are very steep. Highly recommended.
Die ligging is uitstekend, pragtig.
This was supposed to be just a stopover for two days to watch some whales in Hermanus before we went home, but then it became the most enjoyable part of our whole holiday and extended of course! We could see the whales right from the ground floor and even better from the balcony. View from the top floor is breathtaking. House is clean, comfortable and nicely furnished. My father cannot climb stairs and ground floor was very convenient for him. Will definitely go again - this time just for much longer.
A place with that real beach holiday feel, amazing view of open sea, cosy rooms and spacious balcony, pure tranquillity & relaxation. Very neat and tidy.
Sou graag gereeld hier wil wakker word.
The house has everything you need and the decor also creates a beach theme. A beautiful sea view. Only problem was the DStv that didn't want to play, but everything else was great. Thank you.
The place is somewhat cluttered. Lots of dust in general and unnecessary ornaments. Used toothpicks on floor in bedroom. Tablecloth had glass and marinade stains of previous stay(s). Crumbs all over the place. Ice and bread/garlic rolls left in freezer. Couch mattresses were very dirty, had to flip them around and cover with our own blankets. Small pieces of soap in all bathrooms of previous stay(s). All loose carpets had to be shaken out. Dust and hair in all corners of room and under bed. DStv was intermittent. This place was not cleaned properly before our stay. Won't be coming back.
Ons sal definitief die plek aanbeveel. Behalwe die fantastiese lokasie was alles "spotless" gewees. Ons beplan al ons volgende wegbreek naweek na die Beach Cottage toe.
We had a great time, the house has the perfect location. All I suggest is that maybe you just remind people to take extra toilet paper, especially if it's a group of people.
A very pleasant stay. Everything is chosen carefully and with good taste. The layout and location of the residence is unimproved. The visitor book goes back several years - not one negative comment was observed. If the years allow it we will come again.
We went there before the main holiday season began and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the place. Nice cottage for a weekend.
It was everything and more we needed. The sea view, the tranquility, the cleanliness and just the break from everyday stressful life. Only one experience that left me a bit concerned was the fact that our neighbors had to call the police because he suspected petrol had been stolen from his vehicle, but other than that I would return anytime and soon. The check-out time can only be extended a little, because we had a bit of fun the night before and had to get up early in the morning with tired bodies to pack and start the hour and a half drive back to Cape Town.
