We booked 2 nights and only stayed one. Room was very small and needed renovating. We had ants in our bed and lots of mosquitos all night. Host was not helpful the next morning. Old tv absolutely nothing special about this place. Furniture and bathroom need replacing. Angelique very pleasant but our experience was really bad, not worth the price... More

We were really enthusiastic about this guesthouse but it was a bit of a let down. Location is 3 km of hermanus, nothing to do in the vicinity. Host was not very friendly when help was requested. room was ok, but nothing special. Room also rather small. For this money there are better guesthouses out there. Would not choose it... More

Honestly - a let down. My partner had hunted this guest house down - and planned a very beautiful weekend break - but this guest house was a complete let down. This guest house has four stars (apparently) however I am considering writing to the tourism industry to request a down grade. We were placed in a VERY musty, dusty... More

We booked one night in early April 2012 at the Sandbaai Country House, while the outside of the building looks great, the rooms are a little tired, with the smallest tv I have ever seen in the bedroom. Breakfast on the other hand was delicous, and the owners/managers made every effort to make you feel at home. My biggest issue... More

On route from Cape Town to a safari , we decided to stay overnight in Hermanus and we made a booking online for the Sandbaai. When we arrived. 1) We were disappointed. This b&B isnt really in Hermanus as advertised, but the outskirts, about 10/15 minutes drive away. 2) The room really wasn’t up to 4* standard. Funny smell, old... More

Fantastic views of the sea and great walks, this B&B is in a great position. Lovely spacious room and bed with soft linen - great night's sleep. Only things to let it down were that the shower didn't work properly and views from bedroom were not brilliant - but were great from the communal lounge, breakfast was good but could... More
