This hotel is possibly one of the nicest I have stayed at in my life. Natasha was faultlessly welcoming and generous with information, support and suggestions. The information booklet she offers on arrival for places to go is the most helpful I've ever come across. The breakfast was luxurious and fresh, the space to eat overlooking the water, and the details in the room from linen and toiletries to the tea and coffee set up was so thoughtful. I only wish I could have stayed longer but even one night was also worth it in that gorgeous room, with the perfect view over the water... with all the little extras thought of, and nothing you don't need. Nothing was difficult to arrange - Natasha even helped me with towels (and the courage!) to manage the quick, refreshing (icy) dip in the pool I was craving after checking out while I waited for my pick up to the next destination.

Nothing.

Excellent location, walking distance to everything. Comfortable room with a great view! The entire place is spotless. Great shower and hot water ( bad water pressure and lukewarm water are my worst but you will not be disappointed here!). I loved the convenience of the coffee machine and little fridge in the room. Even though I didn't make use of it, they offer a selection of snacks in your room as well as offering some things downstairs. Great if you find yourself there after the shops have closed etc.

I thought the room had a smart TV, pretty sure the listing (and the property's website) said TV with Netflix, so I was a little disappointed with no streaming services but the WiFi is excellent so my phone did the trick. There are a few satellite channels to watch as well so not a total deal-breaker.

The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was decent. The location is excellent across the street from the ocean and a short walk from the centre of town.

The size of the room was too small (we had reserved only one room but ended up with 2 anyway, neither of them a good size for a large bed). Our room was right next to the reception area, so the noise started at 7 am, which woke us up earlier than we wanted. The suction fan in the bathroom is extremely loud. The safe box is placed on the floor of the small wardrobe, which makes it hard to access. There is no conditioner. The property offered body wash and shampoo combination.

La Fontaine Guest House is situated perfectly at the ocean in Hermanus, only a 5min walk away from the city centre. The surrounding is very safe, the view great. Rooms are very clean, staff is very friendly and helpful. Parking Lot is spacious and easily accesible.

Room sizes vary, we had one very large and one rather small room. This is ok, even the small room was big enough, but depending on your expectations, this needs to be considered when booking. As for many hotels and B&Bs in South Africa, if you prefer sweet breakfasts, options are limited.

I believe, I got a good deal through Genius as I could stay for R1040 a night. The hotel is in the city center, where all the sights are, with the breakfast area overlooking the ocean incl. whales and dolphins. The host is very welcoming and helpful and went out of her way to check me in late. She also offered to manage any reservations and bookings for activities during my stay. The breakfast is luxurious. The room wasn’t big but just as the rest of the hotel clean, cute and had everything one might need.

I celebraMy room has its colonial charm! I love the French doors that open up to the garden. I was able to have a nice quiet time and do what I enjoy most, which is reading. My room was spacious, and the living room was a plus. Natasha was very accommodating and responsive. She provided me with the utensils that I needed to enjoy my night. I hope that the staff will maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the hotel, especially the sofas and curtains. I intend to recommend this place to my international friends who visit me often. Also, I love breakfast and have been to many hotels, but this one has a great variety. I also appreciate the option to order additional items like omelettes. It's just a 5 to 10 minute walk to the waterfront, and there are several restaurants within walking distance. The sitting area across the road offers an amazing view. I also love the heated swimming pool! I had a great time! Thank you, La Fountaine and staff!

The breakfast was excellent and all the staff very friendly. The bed was very good with a firm mattress which would suit most people . We were given a topper to soften the mattress a bit as i have some arthritis. It was only ten minutes walk to Gearings point and the restaurants nearby. We were given very good advice about boat trips and restaurants by the management. The cliff top walking is fabulous and just across the road from La Fontaine.

The car park at the back of La Fontaine was being used by workmen to saw wood to renovate the house next door so we had little quiet time in the small garden at the back which we could access straight from our room Fortunately I believe this work is now complete.

This is hospitality at its very best. We travel all over the world, and one of our absolute favorites is La Fontaine. The breakfast is just perfect, the croissants are French to its best and you will get your eggs anyway you like them. On top of that, the interior is the stuff of dreams, contemporary yet exquisite and no detail is left behind. Staff is super friendly and will tend to all your needs. 10/10 is not even enough for this place.

Nothing not to like

A truly fantastic guest house. An amazing well appointed room. A beautiful view. A great breakfast. The proximity to restaurants and the main tourist areas in Hermanus is an added bonus. It’s modern yet very homey, safari but a little clique.

Honestly a brilliant place but breakfast was served right outside the room we were in. No major issue here except if you’re a light sleeper like me, you can’t also be a late sleeper. The door is beautiful but not soundproof.
