The bathroom was clean but small, with a separate toilet rather than an open-plan layout. The bathroom floor was also quite slippery.

Relaxing ocean view stay
Pros:

Beautiful, tastefully decorated sea facing apartment. Our stay was more than comfortable and relaxing. Staff are attentive and so friendly. Breakfast was delicious and well catered (vegan options). The amenities cater for all needs and travel to and from Hermanus central was seamless and quick via the onsite complimentary shuttle service. We would definitely return.

Cons:

Pros:

La posizione fronte mare è molto bella, ma non essendo nel centro di Hermanus bisogna tenerne conto. I servizi e i comfort dell'hotel sono indiscubitibili così come la grandezza delle stanza e la qualità dell'arredo. Ottima la colazione cucinata espressa dallo staff. Comodo (e sicuro) il parcheggio interno.

Cons:

Nulla da segnalare in particolare.
