Top Grootbos Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Esplanade Hermanus

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a 1BR 1BA recently remodeled room with kitchen, stove, oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher, and washer/dryer. Sea view room with balcony was great place to enjoy morning coffee while watching the bay. Did see whales. Secure parking garage with CCTV, motion activated lights, and security doors. Short walk to shops, restaurants, and activities of town. Was very quiet when we stayed in June, likely due to off season. Would go back."

Whale Coast All Suite Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Just amazing ! Clean as new. Perfect location and helpful staff throughout the stay. Couldn’t fault the place at all except lack of TV but that didn’t bother us as we had so much to see. Quiet and peaceful at night and air con in main room. Parking plentiful. A must stay if you are in Hermanus"

Mosselberg on Grotto Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this property. Our room was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The location is fantastic. Just steps away from a beautiful beach and you can easily hook up to the cliff path for a wonderful walk into town (about an hour). A real highlight of our stay. Unfortunately I was sick during our visit so couldn't do as much in the area as I hoped but staff was very helpful and accommodating "

AfriCamps at Stanford Hills Estate- Glamping

8/10 Good

"The tent is amazing, very clean with everything you need. The Wi-Fi is really poor. Bit disappointed that there is no welcome food hamper, particularly as the shop closes at 5pm and the on site restaurant didn’t open. The hot tub was full of murky water and there wasn’t enough wood for the fire and the hot tub. Felt it was a little expensive. "

Sea Star Cliff

10/10 Excellent

"I didn’t get the chance to stay at Sea Star Cliff, but I wish I had. The place looked incredible from everything I researched. The views over De Kelders are unreal, the rooms look spacious and thoughtfully designed, and the whole vibe feels peaceful and luxurious without trying too hard. The communication with the team was helpful and professional, which only made me more excited. Definitely planning to make it back and experience it properly next time."
