This hotel is a little oasis outside of Hermanus. The garden is beautiful full of art and flowers. We really enjoyed eating at the restaurant for the two evenings we were there. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Bed was super comfortable and the room spacious. Great view of the sea too.
Our room was beautiful with a spectacular view. The staff could not be more helpful. The shuttle bus was a bonus that we didn’t expect. The food was delicious. The only minor downside was the colour (grey) and size of the pool - although it was always spotlessly clean it appeared a bit murky. However, it wasn’t - it was just that it was painted grey.
La camera era enorme, con una fantastica terrazza sull’oceano. Tutto molto pulito, ordinato, con Sherry, acqua e caffè a disposizione. Unica nota negativa la rumorosità del condizionatore, che quando si attaccava di notte dava fastidio..
La colazione alla carta prevedeva sia cose salate che dolci di ottima qualità e preparate al momento. Porzioni abbondanti e ben presentate.
Siamo stati veramente bene!
We loved how peaceful it was. It always smelled like the ocean. The rooms were clean and beautiful. The views from the second floor were stunning. Great helpful staff. No complaints at all!
My sea view room was awesome, huge window so lie in bed and look out! lovely herb garden in centre, friendly staff. Its about 4km from centre of Hermanus but easy drive.
Only 5 mins drive from central Hermanus - room was very large and had a splendid sea-facing view. The bed was very comfy and the staff were very friendly. We dined at the hotel - the menu was simple yet tasty. This hotel is best enjoyed when you are driving yourself as taxis are quite expensive.
My wife and I had a one night stay as we toured the wineries in the Hermanus area.
The hotel was not in Hermanus but a little way out at Sandbaai with spectacular ocean views from the restaurant. At breakfast we saw whales in the bay. Breakfast was excellent and quality of the food outstanding. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Unfortunately our room had no ocean view. We looked on to a brick wall. For the price of the room this was very disappointing.

Hotel avec une vue sur la mer superbe
Accueil chaleureux
Personnel au petit soin
L'hôtel est bien situé sur le front de mer
Chambres correctes
La piscine n'est pas contre pas nettoyée et de tres petite taille .
The view from Crayfish Cottage is stunning, a short walk onto the rocks. Breakfast is something not to be missed and the service is excellent. Its quiet so you can enjoy the bird calls and the sound of the sea yet only a few minutes drive from Hermanus beachfront. We would definitely stay here again.
A beautiful modern hotel with its own garden for fruits and vegetables plus an adorable little tortoise garden where they have rescued baby tortoises. The views are amazing from the lounge and eating area.
Our stay at Schulphoek Seafront Guesthouse & Restaurant was one of the best places we visited in South Africa, a truly 5 star experience with personal service, privacy, dedicated chefs and even onsite organic gardens for fresh greens with each meal. We selected food type and the menu was specifically designed for our personal preferences. From a very luxurious room to the wonderful views of the seashore this is a first class guesthouse. The owner is a sommelier with a great wine cellar to complement each meal with an excellent pairing. Not to be missed when in Hermanus for whale watching or wine tasting.
