Stayed here 4 years ago on our last visit to Hermanus and were delighted to return. A warm welcome from Rolf and a large comfortable room. The garden and pool area is an absolute picture, the hospitality is great and the breakfast is lovely. Hoping to be in Hermanus again next year and Hortensia Lodge will certainly be our number one choice.

Great place - easy short walk to town centre.

Rolf the owner is an absolute gem.
He is very knowledgeable of not just Hermanus, but the area as well. Best tour guide you'll ever need.
Lovely place, fantastic Breakfast, helpful in every sense of the word.
If you ever need a stay in Hermanus, he is your guy to book.
Thank you for your hospitality 😍🌺🌸🌻
Love: the Rebels 🤗

Holiday

Rolf was the perfect host at this excellent Guest House.  Not only did we have an great room to stay in and an excellent breakfast but it was easy to integrate with other guests and get on with everyone we met. Rolf also provided great information about the locality, places to visit and ideas for things we wanted to do.

Wonderful stay at an excellent Guest House

This was our first visit to Hortentia Lodge but it certainly will not be our last. Our room was delightful, light and airy, well equipped comfortable, what more can I say. The garden and pool are beautiful and peaceful. The owner Rolf is a delight. He is very helpful and efficient and good company. I loved him. We will be back definitely.

Beautiful property

If you are in this part of the world Hermanus is a must and Hortensia Lodge a great place to make your visit from. Run by Rolf it is a friendly run B@B with nicely kept clean rooms and a living area for guests to use. Breakfast whilst continental is excellent and a fridge is available in the communal areas for guests use. A supermarket is five minutes away and the restaurant and centre of Hermanus ten minutes walk. Rolf gives you a Map and a full explanation of the walks and sights in the area which is very useful. I did a ten mile walk along the coastline on the coastal path which is safe which is stunning. The pool could be a bit better and the wi-fi signal is s little in and out otherwise an excellent stay. Good value too at about 45-50 pounds, 900 rand per night. 

Coastlines to die for 

We needed an overnight stay on our way to Montagu. Being in Hermanus eight yeard ago we decided to visit the town again. As a TripAdvisor member I went on the website and when I saw the reviews namely excellent 19 and Very good 10 out of 29 reviews we immediately booked through Booking.com. I should have read the reviews on the other websites because we were dissapointed with this Guesthouse. Here is my opinion of the Good and the bad aspects. Upon arrival we saw that the parking space was on the outside which could accommodate only  3 small vehicles with no gate or security and that bothered us.  Rolf was very friendly on arrival ensuring us that our vehicle would be safe. He showed us our room and gave us a map informing us of all the sightseeing in the area. He ask if we would pay cash as he doesn't have any card facilities. I noticed that the room smelled if it was not used for quite some time but as it was after four in the afternoon already we wanted to see if we can spot the whales and left. Upon returning after seven we wanted to store our milk and water in the fridge but there wasn't a fridge.  Rolf didn't tell us about the communial fridge I read it on the internet before writing this review. We came back early wanting to watch the rugby but sadly there were only 4 Sabc channels on the old outdated TV. No microwave to warm our food. The coffee cups are so small they look like espresso cups.  The towels in the bathroom was a combination of old and new. The front door curtains could not close properly. A plus point is that the bed were comfortable with good pillows. There was a small 1 bar heater in the room and because it was a cold windy  night I had to use it to warm up the room instead of the warm water bag in the closet that Rolf suggested that afternoon. Surely being in an upmarket part of Hermanus the owner can make some serious upgrades to his Guesthouse so that it can match the reviews. As an TripAdvisor member I believe in giving an honest opinion to the public and we won't be staying here again.
