The property is conveniently located not far from the sea. The owner is very welcoming and friendly. My room was very clean and nicely decorated with a lot of amenities as well as a microwave and a fridge. I could park my rental car on the premises. Great stay!

We spent just one night at Milky Way apartment, but it left a lasting impression. From the moment we arrived, our host greeted us with warmth and kindness, making us feel completely at home. The apartment was stunning tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and incredibly inviting. An amazing breakfast! Generous, delicious, and beautifully served it was the perfect start to our day. Though our stay was short, it was packed with charm and hospitality. Milky Way truly shines, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Glow Suites and I must say, it was an absolutely fabulous experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly and helpful hosts, Philip and Ron, who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We were thrilled to learn that we had been upgraded to a splendid room, which was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we slept very soundly. The room also had all the amenities we needed, including a flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge and a well-appointed bathroom, a beautiful balcony, and delicious chocolates for a goodnight sleep. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast. The hosts served up a range of tasty treats, including fresh fruit, yoghurt, pastries and a selection of hot dishes. Overall, I cannot recommend Glow Suites highly enough. The hosts were amazing, the room was fantastic and the breakfast was simply delicious. I will definitely be returning here on my next visit to the area. Thank you, Philip and Ron, for a truly wonderful stay!

For one night, this corner of paradise on the coast was our haven. 🌊 The breathtaking view upon waking was just a taste of the magic awaiting us. A warm welcome from Linda and her family, and thanks to her advice, an unforgettable moment: spotting the whales! 🐋 A short stay, but beyond all expectations. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The guesthouse was amazing and Stephen was very welcoming and accommodating as we had arrived late night from our drive into Hermanus. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it more. Hosts were also very kind as we had to leave early morning and offered a takeaway breakfast as well as ready coffee to start the morning.

    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.
