The Thatch House Hermanus

It’s very best

We were in Hermanus for three days at the beginning of March and had an incredibly lovely stay at The Thatch House. We really liked not only the unique location on the lagoon and the peace and quiet that comes with it, but above all the warm welcome and caring service from all team members. It was more like visiting friends than staying in a hotel. Many thanks to Lynn and Rory and all the others for their efforts. The small number of rooms and the attention and care of the individual team members made the visit to The Thatch House an unforgettable experience. The variety of drinks and the quality of the food were great. We will definitely visit The Thatch House again when we are back in the Hermanus area.

In a very beautiful and tranquil location lies Thatch House offering very spacious and beautifully decorated suites. We had reserved to suites Fern and Lagoon, and let our kids have the largest and fantastically luxurious Lagoon Suite. The Fern Suite was still very large and nice and while it didn't have the sea view of the Lagoon, it had a nice outdoor area with views of the impressive mountains. The hotel is made to feel more like a private house where you are a guest, and we especially appreciated that we never had to sign any bills when having dinner or ordering something from a bar. They also have a nice "honesty bar" which we never had time to try. Food was really good although not spectacular. I don't think we were more than 15 guests, 3-4 families, which helped making this feel much more homely than a regular hotel. The staff is very friendly and professional, and you get the feeling that they have fun together, which is always a sign of great places to stay. The place is a bit isolated so either having a rental car - like we did - or using taxis is a must if you want to try some other nearby places to eat or visit nearby vineyards. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here, especially for those longing for peace and quiet in a beautiful surrounding.
