66 guests' feedbackThe breakfast is excellent.
It was excellent and the owners make you feel at home.
Lovely venue and area. A definite if travelling in the area. Breakfast fit for a king.
Busy installing a solar system to be able to get around the load-shedding issues.
We had a wonderful stay here and would definitely recommend Penguino Guesthouse.
Value for money, would definitely stay there again.
Nikki is a hostess one thousand (1000%).
Beautiful facilities. Excellent breakfast prepared by owner and chef. Owners also provided information about the various activities in the area which was very useful. Would prefer that the smokers area was further away from the shared public areas.
Delicious breakfast and friendly people. Thank you very much, we will do it again soon.
Very extensive and well presented breakfast.
We were carried on by Stefan and Nikki. Slept well in quiet surroundings. Delicious breakfast and bottomless coffee. Thank you very much, we will see you again soon.
The host and hostess were very friendly and helpful. They made us feel very much at home. The breakfast was very good. This is a very nice place to spend a holiday.
A highlight of our holiday - 11 out of 10! Nikki and Stefan are the most amazing hosts. The breakfast was to die for. The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. We will see you again for sure!
Once again a wonderful experience to be able to go home at Penguino Guest House. From the rooms to the meals to friendly staff and excellent host and hostess. Can only give out compliments. Will definitely stay there every time we visit Hermanus.
We could only spend the night, but were carried on our hands. Would have liked to use the pool, but the time was lacking. The bed sleeps wonderfully and the shower facilities are luxurious. Breakfast is a wonderful experience and we would love to stay there again.
Nice room. Very clean and tidy, tastefully decorated. All I can complain about is the room might get a bit warm it needs a better standing fan, it's only R400 at Checkers and there was no hand towel for me and my husband. Breakfast was the best I have ever had at a hotel or any other guest house. I was rested and had a great swim, very friendly owners and we will book there again.
From our arrival to departure, everything was of excellent quality. Breakfast and pool were off the books.
The rooms are very neat, clean and modern, we stayed in the new part. The breakfast offers a large variety, from traditional, fruit plate, cheese and cold meats to a salmon and cream cheese omelette, all of which is included in the price. Stefan is a man of many talents, he is not only a qualified chef, but also makes his own wine. He has a lot of knowledge of the area as he grew up there. They also arranged a sea-kayak excursion for us. It was really a very pleasant stay at Penguino and we will definitely stay there again.
Lovely guest house is centrally located. Everything is well done and of course the chef, Niki's husband. 's food and hospitality are top notch. Can highly recommend the place.
Nikki and Stefan very friendly host/wife. Makes you feel at home immediately. Stefan makes breakfast special.
Something one misses these days is a guest book to complete. Suggest that you put a small bench in the bathroom - help with chores such as shoe tying Your toilet flaps will be used less. How about a small biscuit with early morning coffee? Robbie and Lorna Robinson
It was very great, will do it again.
Thank you for your hospitality Nikki, we really enjoyed the stay and will definitely stay there again!
Incredible hospitality, clean and tidy accommodation.
It was very nice to meet a quality person like Nikki as a hostess. The zest for life with which she operates her guest house makes it for sure the best guest house I have ever stayed at. By that I mean it was very clean and tidy and good bedding and everything you could need is in rooms. We got delicious breakfast every morning. Will definitely stay there again.
Accommodation was outstanding, rooms very well equipped, rooms and bathrooms are very modern with daily cleaning service. Each room has a small fridge and fresh water and milk are provided every day, rooms are also equipped with coffee and tea facilities. Breakfast is of excellent quality. It's a three-course meal. We only ate breakfast most days and every day there is a different main meal. It was out of the books every day! Lovely pool with fresh mint water served poolside. Host and hostess are fantastic people, very friendly and hospitable and felt more like we were visiting friends. I will never stay anywhere else in Hermanus again. A bonus is of course that the house is directly opposite the sea with a promenade along the sea on one side to the waterfront and on the other to the harbour. Most of the time we walked everywhere we wanted to be. They get 7 stars from me!
Had a very nice private room and we could come and go as we pleased. Nicely close to the walking paths as well as Hermanus' waterfront. Thank you Stefan for the outstanding breakfasts and Nikki for the hospitality.
We were kindly received by Stefan and Nikki. They told us where to eat, what to see and told us about the promenade by the sea which was just breathtaking. The room was perfect, clean and tidy and everything we needed. Stefan's homemade wine is delicious and he made us the most delicious breakfast ─ really top notch. We will definitely stay there again and it was the best value for money. Thank you very much for the kindness. We had a great time with you.
Penguino Guesthouse was an amazing guesthouse that accommodated us and our family of 7. We were greeted by Stephan, the owner, with great warmth and hospitality that exceeded our expectations. Stephan made us amazing award winning breakfasts that we enjoyed tremendously. The house was a great refuge from the unexpected cold and rainy weather that we encountered by having a very nice bbq room which we lit a fire in and cooked our delicious dinners with our kids. The whole experience was out of this world offering us a very warm and cozy time with our kids with its wonderful spaces and service by the owner and his staff.
Stefan and Nikki are the perfect hosts. Our accommodation was excellent. Stefan is an outstanding chef and both he and Nikki will give you the best advise on where to go, what to see and what to eat. We will definitely be returning to stay. 5 stars from me.
Had a great time, thank you Nikki and Gade.
We slept at Penguino Guest House for the first night of our short honeymoon in Hermanus. Nikki put red roses and chocolates in our room, and that evening made us a reservation at a lovely restaurant. We didn't have to worry about anything, and had a great time relaxing. Thank you for your effort and hospitality!
The room was large and comfortable with a separate entrance. Ample parking available. The owners are wonderful, friendly people, always available and happy to help and give advice about the area. The breakfast was the highlight and not to be missed! There was a payment point available which was very convenient.
Friendly and personal attention from owners.
We were received very kindly and received the same service throughout. The owner is also the chef and served us a very delicious breakfast. 12 out of 10. The owners naturally treated us as if we were family or close friends. Handsome man.
Thank you for your hospitality. Would definitely recommend your guesthouse. Good location, neat and friendly people.
Stafan and Nikki are the best hosts ever.
Stefan and Nikki are excellent and made our stay very enjoyable with their hospitality and the breakfast was delicious. The guest rooms are well equipped and spacious. It is very clean and has a very nice atmosphere for young and old. Stefan and Nikki are very helpful and have a thorough knowledge of the area and recommended many spots to visit. Thank you both.
The guest house offers all the facilities tourists look for. If you are brave enough, you can also cool off in the pool, which is private. The breakfast was something we looked forward to each morning. The added bonus was that the hosts was the cook. And there's a surprise on the menu every time!
Well located, friendly service. Will definitely go back.
Excellent location, walking distance from restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Hospitality by Nikki and Stefan was brilliant and last of all, the breakfast! There was a "special" each morning, such as blueberry pancakes or waffle and ice cream, among others.
We were met by Niki. She made us feel welcome from the start, the room was of high standard. She recommended some great eating places. The breakfast offered excellent, wide variety. Again recommendations were given for the rest of our trip. It was a good choice. Thank you, five stars are not enough. I will give you 10/10. We will definitely visit again.
Top notch accommodation and breakfast. Don't miss the opportunity. The location of the guest house is also very good for exploring Hermanus and surroundings.
We couldn't ask for better. The host and hostess were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was unsurpassed and the rooms tasteful and tidy. Add to that the beautiful surroundings of Hermanus and I don't want to live anywhere else. Thank you very much!
The guest house is clean, tidy and rooms are modern. The breakfast is delicious and an awful lot to choose from. Stefan and Nikki are the ideal host and wife. They were able to give a lot of information about the area, restaurants etc. We had a wonderful rest! Would definitely recommend Penguino's!
We had a good stay and I will definitely recommend it. Nikki and Stefan were exceptionally hospitable and friendly and they go to a lot of extra trouble with breakfast. The room was spacious and comfortable, I would just have liked it to be a bit darker.
Beautiful, neat, cosy lodge. Walking distance from the town centre. Nikki and Stafan are great at hospitality and they are friendly, they do everything to make your stay pleasant, nothing is too much trouble for them. Stefan prepared a delicious breakfast.
Clean, tidy with a delicious breakfast. Friendly host and hostess. Trust the rate will remain affordable for our single ladies in the future.
Stefan and Nikki are wonderful hosts and we would definitely like to visit again. The location is good, the rooms are very elegant and clean. You have to stay at Penguino if you are visiting Hermanus.
It was a lovely weekend away!
My wife and I really enjoyed our time. Very neat, cozy place. Nikki and Stephan are so hospitable and make you feel very much at home.
Accommodation very clean, tidy and spacious. Breakfast was nicely served with a wide variety.
Thank you very much Stefan and Nikki for a comfortable stay with excellent customer service. We had a great time.
Lovely accommodation in spacious, clean rooms with friendly hosts and temptingly tasty breakfasts. What more can one ask for?
Many thanks for the friendly reception and the nice chats with the owners! Will definitely visit again.
Stay was very nice as well as the breakfast. Nikki and Stephan are very pleasant people
The owners are very welcoming, the place is nice and quiet, safe. Breakfast was magnificent, they catered Halal. It was an amazing experience. I love the room. I would recommend Penguino to anyone. Lovely place. You feel right at home.
We were very surprised with the guest house and we were very well received. The place is excellently managed and the breakfast was top notch.
I was very satisfied with the stay. Sorry I didn't book for longer. Friendly and hospitable owners.
Friendly and pleasant host/hostess. Nice breakfast. Close to hiking trail and town center. Recommended!
Comfortable accommodation, excellent breakfast and good friendliness.
See the stars below.
Host Stefan and Nikki Otto are very hospitable and friendly. Would certainly recommend. Breakfasts delicious! Accommodation also good.
Had a wonderful stay this past weekend at the Guesthouse. Will definitely not mind to go again. Warm and friendly people, and peaceful town.
We went for our first wedding anniversary and it was an amazing experience. The hospitality was beyond expectation and the breakfast was something incredibly delicious! We will definitely be returning soon as it was such an amazing break!
