35 guests' feedbackIt was lovely, clean & spacious. Can't complain at all!
Beautiful, very intimate place, was allowed to book in a bit earlier. The lady was very helpful and friendly.
Fantastic accommodation.
A beautiful place we enjoyed every moment.
Very neatly and comfortably furnished with a lovely patio. Lovely garden. Extremely comfortable beds.
Host / Owner was friendly. Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Perfect location.
Unfortunately the 2nd bathroom had no hot water at all. Owner's tel. no. doesn't work WiFi also not correct password.
Interesting venue, had to phone owner to open up as reception was locked when we arrived despite giving ETA. Shower needs upkeep as entire bathroom gets flooded. Else, very sufficient stay and centrally located.
There is a chimney further down where you can see smoke coming out. We had to keep windows closed at all times. Secondly, it was pouring rain when we arrived and the receptionist was very friendly and accommodating however, there is not even a little roof over the reception area's door, and she and we got soaked. We were in Unit 1 and this is probably just us, but the paintings and sculptures at the entrance and up the stairs made us feel very uneasy.
Great place lovley hosts will come back anytime and highly recommend!
Absolutely felt like heaven.
Hornbill House is close to everything, yet tucked away for the tranquility. Will definitely use this accommodation option again and recommend it to future travellers.
We had a comfortable and cosy stay at Hornbill House. The only issue we had was the bathroom. The shower should be contained to its own space as after a shower everything is wet and unpleasant. There was a lot of noise from the opposite nursery with cars and vans up and down but I guess that is out of Hornbill's hands.
Very nice stay and would recommend it.
Beautiful rooms, nice and quiet, with everything you need.
It feels like you are sleeping in a tree house in luxurious luxury in a lush green tropical forest. Incredible experience in the most beautiful piece of heaven on earth.
I had a lovely stay here and will do it again. What a stunning venue. The parking can be a bit better - more secure.
We will stay there again, but will be happy if attention is paid to the quality of the bed that is very hard.
Clean and tidy unit. Definitely worth it. Will definitely stay there again.
Will visit Hornbill house again anytime. The peaceful atmosphere was blissful and it is very centrally located.
The owner treated us to a bottle of red wine as a gift.
Fantastic getaway for family!
Pleasant, comfortable accommodation. Artistic decor. We would like to make use of this accommodation again.
Marelize went out of her way to receive us and make us feel welcome, place was clean and tidy and with the unexpected cold we were grateful for the warm undersheets. Don't expect a bottle of red wine on sale as a gift and it's really a nice and intimate place, walking distance from what matters. Environment was safe, peaceful and very quiet. Good sleep choice for sure.
We stayed for almost a week, were very clean and tidy and were warmly welcomed, the atmosphere and tranquility was heavenly, had a great stay friendly service that goes the extra mile. Thank you very much.
Rooms are very neat and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Hornbill to anyone!
Friendly reception and nice stay. Very spacious and tidy unit, ideal for longer stays and visits.
Great appreciation for phone call. Very well received. Very clean and spacious.
Would recommend the self-catering apartment.
Thank you, Marelise, for your hospitality. The accommodation was neat, clean and comfortable. Nice self-catering accommodation if you want to visit everything in and around Hermanus. Would definitely stay in Hornbill House again!
Excellent accommodation, peaceful surroundings, good value for money.
The area and place is very nice and tidy. Just wanted to know in advance that the place is bitterly cold. We were told 2 days before our arrival that we should use the gas in the heater sparingly, because it was out of stock. If the owners plan better, something like this will not happen in the future. There were also only 2 glasses to use and all the cutting knives were incredibly blunt. Tea, coffee and sugar were provided, but no milk.
We were pleasantly surprised by the lovely surroundings and really enjoyed the artwork. We could have stayed there much longer if we had time because of the proximity to Hermanus and Onrus, as well as Kleinmond.
See the stars below.
My parents thoroughly enjoyed their stay, and couldn't stop talking about how clean and comfortable it was. We will approach you again in the future for accommodation.
