The host, Anita, was very friendly and kind. I had a little difficulty in getting to the place because I carelessly missed the map she sent. However, she kindly came to pick me up in the town, and very helpful to arrange the reservation for whale watching boat. The house is located in a calm residential neighborhood, and the room was spacious, neat and clean. The breakfast was perfect and tasty. The cat, Milky, can be a best friend if you are a cat lover. If I’ll visit Hermanus again, I’m sure to stay here.

Spectacular. There is no other word. We travel a lot, but once in a while, an accommodation manages to exceed all expectations. This one did. The lovely furnished room, the bed with view of the ocean, and even of whales. The very, very decadent breakfast. The little personal touches like a small toiletry bag. The staff, the bar.. It feels like home away from home, but a thousand times more luxurious. A true treat!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Glow and we must say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The design of the hotel was stunning, with beautiful decor and a modern feel that added to the overall atmosphere. We were thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail and the level of comfort offered in each room. Whether it was lounging in the stylish lounge areas or indulging in a delicious breakfast, we never once felt like anything was lacking. Overall, we highly recommend Glow for anyone looking for a luxurious stay with top-notch service. A huge thank you to the staff for making our stay so memorable!

The hosts and the staff are super nice. They are very helpful and have many tips on what to do, where to go etc. The apartment is unbelievably beautiful and created with so many details. The view over Hermanus, the bay and the ocean is amazing. You find everything you need. We loved the prepared fire place (as it was still quite cold) and I was a huge fan of the heating blanket in the bed. The breakfast is delicious and a perfect start for the day.

    I looked at the previous reviews and everyone rated the breakfast highly, which made me curious... Upon tasting the breakfast, I agree with the other reviews lol, the breakfast was amazing. Steven is a great host, and the room was comfy with modern finishes. The guesthouse was walking distance from all places one would wish to visit and I could see how the pool area would be desirable in summer.

    We really enjoyed our stay in this guesthouse. It is located in a quiet place but very close to the town centre and with a shortcut access to the famous cliff path. Stefan and Nikki are very welcoming hosts and helped us a lot with valuable recommendations on how to spend time. The room has new equipment and is very comfortable. We were there in hot time, but there was always fresh wind from the ocean in the night. Also, very delicious breakfast with generous portions. Definitely recommend this place!

    Exceptionally friendly hosts Natascha and Devon. Great breakfast with multiple fresh fruits, egg choices, fresh yoghurts and cereals. All blessed by a great ocean view. Welcome mini bar in room, airco properly working for hot days, little things taken care of and deliciously smelling fynbos soap & lotion. Gated parking at the guesthouse, a few minutes walking from the center.

    Such a warm and gentle hostess. Very quiet and thus perfect for relaxation. A beautiful pool area and friendly atmosphere. The house is located away from the hectic city centre which can still be reached in walking distance in a short time and wonderful walk along the coast.
