Penguino Guesthouse

老闆很熱情，房間很乾凈，早餐很好，免費停車

The lodge has a great location, close to the Cliff Path and not far from the center. Stefan was one of the most attentive hosts we met in South Africa. The rooms are stylish and functionally furnished. The breakfast is sensational.

Penguino has a great location, nice comfortable room, delicious breakfast and very welcoming atmosphere.

Greeted by our friendly host and her 2 lovely dogs and shown to our spotless clean room with the most wonderful comfortable bed for a great nights sleep. Our host for breakfast in the morning (assuming hubby)! was also very friendly and very helpful with giving tips on where to go in the area, even sorted the route out on our phone which saved us a lot of work! Breakfast was lovely, offering daily specials and fruit, cheese and ham platters, great toast and home made jams. The coffee served was wonderful! The room was great, powerful shower, fridge, tea and coffee. There is a small swimming pool in a lovely relaxing area outside. The cliff walk can be accessed opposite the guest house and it is a lovely walk into town from here. Flicks restaurant is close by, situated below the path amongst the rocks and nice for lunch or just for a drink (shuts early around 6 out of season because the sun goes in and it starts to get rather chilly down there). The whole area was peaceful and relaxing when we were here in November. Our first time in Africa and we had read so many bad things about walking around at night but we walked to town for an evening meal and back at 10pm when it was dark and did not see a car or anyone for that matter, well lit on the roads and felt very safe. The restaurants in town looked nice, we were recommended Burgundy but fancied pizza so went to Embers which was great and serving some lovely wines here too. Some lovely shops and cafes in town, gorgeous views, whale watching in the season without getting on a boat, just from the cliff tops. Only regret…..should have stayed an extra day, you really need to stay 2 nights here minimum, such a gorgeous area, we will be back!!!

We now have now stayed twice, and have already booked our third. From the moment we arrived we were made welcome. Breakfasts are fantastic. Whilst the location does not have sea frontage it is 50m from the path leading straight to the cliff walk. Hermanus is one of our favourite destinations and Penguino Guesthouse is a major part of that.

Last three nights of this tour we stayed here. Really nice accomodation. Lovely room, great bed with heating, excellent bathroom, breakfast every morning little but different but always super quality! Location close to many tourist attractions and very safe feeling on that area. Unfortunately weather was too cold to enjoy the pool, our room was only few steps off it. This was our first overnight visit to Hermanus, but definitely we know the place to stay whenever we will return.
