Just fantastic. Hermanus is a beautiful little place anyhow but with a stay at “On the Cliff” the trip was topped off perfectly. I’ve never had such an extensive breakfast in all of my travels which really kick started my day. Thank you.

We found it a wonderful experience staying at On The Cliff Guesthouse The location and accommodation quality speak for themselves. There is an immediate wow factor which remains with you throughout your time there and in our memories for long afterwards.

Nothing was too much trouble for Brigitte and her team A real highlight of our time in SA Thank you so much

Delightfully comfortable and ideally situated on top of the Cliff with a short 5 minute drive into town this Guest House was perfect for a weeks stay in Hermanus. The breakfast was excellent and the host was welcoming and helpful. There is plenty of secure parking, an honesty bar and lovely pool to relax by. One nice little touch was complementary afternoon tea with delicious home made cakes. The room was amazing and I would hight recommend this delightful property

We were recommended this lovely guest house by people who had stayed a few months before we were looking for somewhere to stay. Charmaine gave us great advise when we were looking to book. Stunning location on a quiet road overlooking the ocean. Most comfortable bed ever, caused us being late for breakfast as we slept better than ever. Lucky was wonderful ensuring we had everything we needed. Breakfast will set you up for the full day, wonderful home made delicious food. Easy walks along the cliff paths opposite the house especially when you encounter the Dassies. Have recommended to others we met on our tour of South Africa. Sue & Eric
