Bewertung übersetzen Just outstanding. We were a bit reluctant in arrival being given the basement apartment next to the seaside entrance door (101). But neither the street in front nor the entrance door turned out to be a nuisance (it was indeed quite comfortable). After it turned out that this was indeed the room I booked, we started to be happy and enjoyed our stay very much. Even the fact of not having the expected washing machine (some sports clothes were in dire need), had no negative impact, as washing was offered and issued properly. Trevor, Banash (?) and his colleagues couldn’t have been more helpful, attentive & gentle. The place was clean, modernly furnished and equipped with everything needed for an even longer stay. Even bottled water and milk were in rhe fridge. Oh, yes, a tea towel would be fine next time. The town is just around the corner. Frances café, 1 min walk, just great for breakfast. We would be happy to return to Esplanade Hermanus and their friendly staff.

We absolutely loved our stay and we were treated so well. I would like to give an especial mention of the wonderfully helpful response that Melissa, manager, gave us when I asked if we could move to a larger room. I am partially disabled and use a cane and my husband's arm, and there wasn't enough room to get around. She immediately organized a beautifully spacious suite, with lovely furniture, at the same rate. I was so contented to just stay at the hotel, watching the sea, spotting whales, and resting up. We are home now and feel greatly restored.

The hotel is beautifully designed. Elegant yet comfortable/cozy. The staff was attentive, friendly and so helpful. The location is perfect. I enjoyed being a bit further out of town and the immediate access to the cliff trail. Breakfast in the terrace was the perfection. My massage was also a delightful experience.

The view from the breakfast room is unbeatable. The hosts, Gideon and Gill, attend to every need and are passionately dedicated to ensuring their guests have the very best time. Gideon provided me with so many tips about interesting things to do locally and further afield in the Western Cape. The breakfast was divine and food orders very flexible with a large choice of options. The lodge’s employed staff were amazing. Cliff Lodge a great place to relax, unwind, find inner peace and appreciate the vastness of the sea.

A marvellous experience. A shame we only stayed for a night. They offered us an upgrade and it was perfect. The room was one of the nicest villas we have ever stayed. We used the fireplace, we had dinner there (the products they offer you for preparing your own dinner were local and delicious) and breakfast. They have animals all over the place that you can visit and feed. The venue is great, definitely a place to stay more than one night.

Our stay at Misty Waves Boutique Hotel was simply wonderful. The standout feature was undoubtedly the exceptionally friendly staff. From check-in to check-out, their warm hospitality made us feel at home. I would highly recommend this property (not the onsite restaurant) for guests who value a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service.

Lovely views from a scenic coastal path.

Lovely views from a scenic coastal path. Part of the costal path towards the town is in need of repair and therefore closed but doesn’t distract from the great views. During the season whale watching can be great to see. Bars and restaurants are of a good standard, for us the steaks at Chard’s are excellent and well worth trying

Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village.

Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village. It offers the chance to rekindle your oneness with nature and explore the beauty of the surrounding countryside and Reserves. Stanford offers a unique shopping experience, which seemingly encourages a more relaxed, ambient pastime. We were very privileged to be able to dine at Madre's, an iconic restaurant with food to match, a gastronomic experience in itself. There appears to be annual shows held in the town, those being the Flower Show and the Motor Shows, both of which appear to attract great interest from locals and holidaymakers alike. A beautiful and very special town, with its very own personality and charm.

Bettys Bay is a charming little coastal town.

Bettys Bay is a charming little coastal town. I think its perfect for tourists and locals if you are looking for a laid back breakaway. Its quite easy to get around and find different places of interest. We enjoyed visiting the Stony Point Penguin Colony. We spotted quite a number of birds. There are lovely trails for short hikes on the mountainside. The beach is wonderful with white soft sand. The water is quite cold though.

A mini Spar or OK with a bakery and some quick meals would be ideal and very convenient. The residential area is fairly large yet quiet and the perfect spot for whale watching. The cliff path is scenic and well built.

It is a very peaceful village with a lovely beach. I was there off season which was perfect as coming in summer must be hectic. Met very helpful people from the pharmacy, the small supermarket and the laundry lady. Excellent restaurant - The Cork Eatery! Very nice owner and very good food. Enjoyed a lovely meal. Beach is beautiful but I may have gone to the wrong entrance as a bit of a trek to the sea but well worth it. Big plus - pet friendly area.

As noted the area was quiet loved that we could walk and every one on that drove past us waved, etc. The accommodation was great. I love the bath. I am not sure if something can be done with us hearing each other as we are very close to each other. Walls does separate I think are too thin, it is like you hear when someone is in the bathroom or room. In the lounge area it is not so.
