121 guests' feedbackExcellent stay. The room was clean and the beds were super comfortable. The breakfast was awesome and very good. Our hostess was so friendly and helpful, and we really enjoyed our stayover.
Value for money, and fantastic service and hospitality. Plenty of secure parking too. We will definitely call again on our next visit. The breakfast is fantastically delicious.
I was received very hospitably and they were very accommodating when plans suddenly changed. The rooms are nice and spacious and in the Cape winter storm the bed was deliciously warm and cuddly. Breakfast was delicious!
Nice stay, thank you. Delicious.
Nestled in the heart of Hermanus, Chesham House is a gem that exceeded all expectations. From the warm hospitality to the breathtaking views of Walker Bay, every moment felt like a serene escape. The attention to detail in the beautifully appointed rooms, coupled with the delectable breakfast served with a smile, made my stay unforgettable. Highly recommend Chesham House for an idyllic getaway.
Not stayed there myself. Was booked for people on a business trip. They were very satisfied and had no complaints. Said the hostess went out of her way to help them and went the extra mile for them.

Very nice! And wonderful service (and kindness!) from the hostess.
Very nice stay - the breakfast was also very nice! Yum!
Fantastic, we arrived in Hermanus early and called our host to see if we could drop off our bags, and we were absolutely welcomed. The accommodation is fantastic and clean and situated in the best part of Hermanus.
The room was comfortable and spacious enough. Good security and safe parking. Only negative point is the busy street. Was hard to get along. Hostess friendly and helpful.
See stars.
Everything met and exceeded our expectations.
Despite the water shortage in Hermanus during the time we were there, Chesham House went out of their way to make it pleasant for us. It is nicely central and within walking distance to the sea, waterfront and beach.
The only place in Hermanus that accepted us as a group! The owner was extremely friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was fantastic. All round lovely accommodation! Thank you.
The hostess was very friendly and immediately made us feel at home. Breakfast was delicious even if it was heavy duty!
It was a very nice and peaceful environment. We were received with kindness and seen off. Would recommend the place anytime.
Was warmly welcomed on arrival. Hostess went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. Gave us bigger room than we booked. Would go back anytime. Breakfast was delicious.
The room is comfortable and well equipped. The place was clean and tidy. A nice breakfast is served.
We were warmly received, Hannelie is a lovely, friendly person and our breakfast was delicious! The place has a homely, peaceful feel and is clean with a beautiful mountain view. Location is ideal to reach town quickly. We will book here again soon!
Centrally situated, close to everything.
Short and quick. Have a nice time. Will definitely go there again.
The host is very friendly and pleasant, the service is excellent. The place is in a very good condition and clean. The breakfast is good. It is close to the beach and mountains. It is a very convenient place.
Hannalie was a lovely hostess and we were made to feel very at home. The room was comfortable and well kept. The location was also spot on.
Very welcoming host.
Description could be clearer. It's a room in a house. Although everything was neat and clean, friendly I suspect that a visiting holidaymaker would frown. Not a place of its own. I may also be guilty of not reading the description thoroughly.
Extremely friendly hostess and a very scrumptious breakfast. I enjoyed the pool as well.
I can't report any bugs. Will visit place again.
Delicious breakfast, rooms beautifully clean and tidy! Very friendly service, comfortable 2-day overnight stay in Hermanus!
Cute gift for everyone who stays at our Christmas breakfast! Thank you very much!
We couldn't have asked for a better home to vacation in. Hostesses were so friendly and helpful. Room was beautiful, clean and spacious. Lots of closets. Stayed and slept very well. Breakfast was a delicious treat every morning. We will definitely stay here again.
Pleasant stay. Delicious breakfast.
This is a home away from home! Hannelie is a great host and communication with this guesthouse is excellent! Breakfast was delicious and filling. The rooms are spacious and spotless. I felt very welcome and the other guests were also very friendly. Thank you Ian and Ivanka for your kindness at breakfast. I will definitely choose this guesthouse over and over.
Hannelie was an excellent hostess.
The breakfast was very tasty.
Hannelie was a good host, friendly and helpful.
Hannelie is an excellent hostess and she pretty much carried me on her hands. She is a woman of character and integrity. The accommodation is wonderful, the rooms make you feel like you've come home. The location is ideal and perfectly located near the market, the beach, the nature reserve and all the attractions.
Chesham House is very neat, clean and affordable and Hannelie is a fantastic hostess. The bonus is that it is very centrally located.
The reception was warm, the room well furnished and breakfast was perfect. I would definitely stay at Chesham House again.
Hannalie Nel was an excellent hostess and made us feel very much at home. We were very impressed with the service and really enjoyed our time there.
Very friendly and accommodating hostess. Found the nearby road a bit busy.
Needed to find a place to sleep for the night quickly, and Chesham met the needs.
Central, but a short walk to the cliffs overlooking the sea.
The room is spacious and clean. Safe parking for vehicles.
It was fantastic in and around the house. Environment is very polite.
Chesham House was not suitable for a girly getaway. There was no barbecue or any meeting area if the weather outside in Hermanus did not cooperate to walk around. We were told not to make noise and the aunt was not too friendly and the kitchen was closed.
I haven't had such a nice stay at a guest house in a long time, Hannelie goes out of her way to make the stay as pleasant as possible for guests and her friendliness makes you feel at home from the first minute! The entrance is very accessible and a stone's throw from a very nice walking trail along the sea in the nature reserve. The WiFi speed is very fast and the breakfast offered in the morning is delicious and perfect to start the day with. No, I personally don't think you can go wrong booking at Chesham house!
We were very warmly received by. Everything was in place and we really can't complain. The beds slept great, the breakfast was delicious and so was the service in general. We are going to visit again.
Convenient with everything you need. Good breakfast and nothing was too much to ask for our hostess.
Chesham House is conveniently placed between the Hermanus CBD and Voëlklip. The surrounding areas such as Onrus, Sandbaai and the Hemel-en-Arde-Vallei are easily accessible from here.
The hospitality was great, immediately felt welcome. Couldn't have asked for better. The laid-back atmosphere was downright genius. All amenities were close and everything was perfect.
The owner made us feel right at home and the breakfast was delicious.
It was our wedding anniversary that particular weekend. Enjoyed it a lot. The hostess received us well and was very friendly and helpful. Very neat place and peaceful atmosphere. Would recommend it.
Very quiet even though it is on the main street.
Was very pleasant, no pressure, was a very relaxed atmosphere and will definitely book in again.
Definitely recommend it to anyone. Friendly, neat, clean and helpful.
We had a great stay. Will stay there again.
We can recommend Chesham House as an affordable and comfortable place to stay. Rooms are set off the road. Adequate parking. Very nice breakfasts. Very central location and close to walks on the cliff path.
The accommodation was clean, pleasant and we were accommodated with the storage of our work equipment. It is well located in relation to the town center and shops.
Very good value for money. Clean and tidy. Excellent location and safe. Delicious breakfast! Friendly and helpful staff.
Ruime schone kamers waarvan het meubilair wel wat gedateerd is. Er is een gezamenlijke koelkast aanwezig. Ook is er goede WiFi in het appartement. Het ontbijt is goed en wordt verzorgd in het hoofdgebouw. Afgesloten parkeer plaats en op loopafstand van de zee.
Well appointed, clean and convenient.
The service was of high quality. Management went out of their way to make it a pleasant experience. Good luck with your business!
Here one visits family.
Room was spacious, however, the balcony with sea view did not have any chairs or table. Also, there was no fridge in the room but there was a shared one in the passage. Other than that the host was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was very nice.
We were very well received. The room and facilities were clean and tidy. Breakfast was well prepared and the servants were friendly and helpful.
Excellent accommodation for a quick visit in Hermanus.
My parents complained about a drain board that the cars drive over in the main road. It makes a terrible noise and they could not sleep. It's especially disturbing now in season when the road is so busy. Manager/owner may ask municipality to do something about it. I slept at the back of guest house. It was quiet and lovely.
I was very kindly received from the start. The owner and staff went out of their way to be helpful and hospitable. Everything was safe, clean and tidy and the breakfast and coffee were delicious every morning. I would just like to see some DStv channels on the beautiful, big, expensive TV to justify that TV. I don't really go out at night and struggled to get through the evening. Furthermore, I really do not have a single complaint, and will definitely use Chesham House again and recommend it to anyone here in Napier who wants to go to Hermanus.
Very friendly staff!
See stars.
It was good, no problems.
Chesam House is the perfect weekend getaway and I definitely stayed in their best suite as the others were one room only. I really enjoyed my time at Chesam House and their friendly service and clean rooms made the stay very pleasant. The business travelers could be catered for as there is no desk and the WiFi is considerably slow, but this is now for a business traveller, not necessarily a tourist, but otherwise very nice!
Very nice accommodation and breakfast was excellent. Would have liked a small fridge in the room.
The men from our company were there for one night, they say it is very neat and peaceful and the breakfast was delicious. Also very peaceful, they had a nice stay.
See stars.
A simple stay with spacious clean rooms, some of which have furniture that is dated. There is one shared fridge. There is also good WiFi in the apartment. The breakfast is good and is provided in the main building.
Onze kamer keek in de verte gelukkig uit op de oceaan, verder vrij donkere en kille kamer. Niet echt gezellig. Badkamer is erg sober en kil. Gastvrouw doet haar best en toont interesse. Ontbijt is ok. Je kan snel naar het wandelpad langs de kust, dat is fijn.
Restful.
Neat Reception, good Lage, pleasant rooms, particularly delicious breakfast!
Large rooms.
We were well welcomed, close to the town, breathtaking view, very nice breakfast.
Tannie Hanelee and the rest of the staff were very friendly, breakfast was delicious and if I visit Hermanus again, I will definitely use Chesham House.
The guest house is in the process of making improvements. Rooms are very clean and tidy with pure white linen and old world charm. Breakfast was delicious! The garden still needs attention but this does not make the stay any less wonderful. The small bay about 200 meters from the house produced a whale show like few.
The whole staff made me feel at home. They were friendly and treated me as part of their family. The breakfast was delicious - my typical Sunday treat.
This B&B offers clean and affordable accommodation in a central location. Our hosts, Hannelie and Dayne, were very friendly and hospitable, and willing to help with any information. Breakfasts are more than sufficient. Really enjoyed our stay.
Neat accommodation within walking distance of beautiful walking path. Our hostess was very friendly and the breakfast was delicious.
Warm welcome, excellent care and a beautiful room. Couldn't be better than that.
A well situated establishment with appropriate accommodation and a wonderful breakfast!
Clean and tidy, felt at home immediately.
The owner and manager are very friendly and we felt very welcome. The location is perfect, it is right across from the sea.
Nothing is to much to ask. It has everything you need for a night of peaceful and comfortable relaxation - followed by a delicious breakfast!
Everything you need, not fancy, but very good and friendly service. Good value for fair price.
We were kindly received by the owner's daughter. Our room was spacious, clean and tidy. The guest house is about 3 km from the business center where all the places to eat are. Parking is safe behind locked security gate. The Fernkloof nature reserve is located opposite the house and we saw two pairs of whales and after a delicious breakfast went for a nice walk in the reserve.
Friendly reception, neat spacious room with a little sea view. Excellent breakfast. Hospitality and helpful.
We only stayed the night, it is a convenient overnight spot, but I won't necessarily recommend it for an entire weekend or holiday. The rooms were comfy and neat, delicious breakfast and the service was fantastic!
Very quiet and clean. Friendly hostess.
Close to all amenities on the main road, with secure off street parking. Breakfast is served in the main house and is more than adequate, and hosted by Hannelie, who is a most charming and helpful host.
Friendly people. Breakfast was delicious.
The people there are so incredibly hospitable and always help where they can. I had a great stay and will definitely go again.
Stairs for the elderly can create a problem. Furniture not up to standard. Garden behind view from room expect better. Part of fridge with four compartments uncomfortable. Breakfast could be presented more attractively. However, this should be considered constructive criticism. I am of the opinion that if attention is paid to this it could indeed be a pleasant place to spend the night.
We can confidently recommend that travelers spend the night here. The owners are friendly and welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The accommodation is top notch and we had a wonderful night's rest.
Very pleasant hostess!
They went out of their way to make the stay as pleasant as possible.
I will recommend the accommodation.
Homely, comfortable accommodation. Substantial breakfast.
Very good. Will stay there again.
See the stars.
Very friendly and neat, will use it again in the future.
Very neat and clean and friendly service with a delicious breakfast.
I toured the Garden Route on my own, Chesham House was my third stop. Chesham House is a private residence converted, it is filled with old world charm. Everything is neat and clean, but I had to share a bathroom, which can be inappropriate for extremely private travelers. Luckily I was the only booking so didn't experience any discomfort. The location is excellent as it is a few hundred meters from the beach for whale watching and only about 1 km from the town itself. The people are very friendly and welcoming. I felt completely safe and in no way threatened. Will definitely consider them again for my next visits.
It was very nice, would have liked a bathroom as part of the room.
Spacious room, nice breakfast and the location is ideal!
It was a peaceful, comfortable getaway. Friendly reception and delicious breakfast. The room was neat and the bed slept great. Not too far from the town center and sea. Just a pity I had to share the balcony with the room next door.
Friendly reception. Good value for money.
I'm not sure if they actually have a 4-star rating, but if they do, I'd say factors like the following could detract from such a rating: single ply toilet paper, no shampoo or conditioner or toiletries in the bathroom, no fresh milk or cartons of milk, very average interior decoration. On the positive side, warm friendliness and a lot of cleanliness and delicious breakfast.
Everything perfect and was not disappointed. Will use again in the future.
Duane went out of her way to help us, thank you very much for that!
The room very neat, bed comfy, breakfast great. The hosts took exceptional care to treat me as a special guest, much appreciated!
Great hospitality, quality grounds upkeep, very accessible to all Hermanus amenities.
