staying there twice in three years I can still feel the good atmosphere and the very far away location ! good food , good staff , good taxi service (not all day and not very quickly ). the nearest place is Hermannus which is good but very small . good place for business conferences and depression trip .

We stayed over the Easter weekend. Excellent Spa but again does need a make-over. Breakfast was excellent. We did not have any meals at the hotel as Hermanus Town is less than 20 km away with lots of restaurants .
