The hospitality from the owners - Johan & Elizma was super. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. 3 of our group were also celebrating birthdays & Elizma provided a lovely cake. The breakfast spread was just amazing. Location was amazing. I wish we could have spent some more time here. Definitely staying here when we return.

My stay at Valentines Hermanus was honestly the best experience I’ve had in a long time. A massive thank you to Greg and Helen —your warmth, hospitality, and attention to every little detail made this stay truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome. The space was immaculately clean, with fresh towels provided every single day. It’s the little touches that really stood out—beautiful flowers in every corner, and the most delicious homemade rusks that made our mornings extra special. The care and effort put into maintaining the space is unmatched. You can tell Greg and Helen genuinely care about creating a home away from home, and it shows in every aspect of the stay. I honestly couldn’t recommend Valentines Hermanus more. If you’re thinking of booking—do it. You’ll love every second of it, just like we did. Thank you again, Greg and Helen!

Aurelia is a so nice, she prepared everything we need in the room. She reminded us and helped send the cellphone back to us that we left in the room. All the staff are friendly and helpful, they made us feel like home. Also the breakfast is delicious. Wi-Fi is strong, and we’ve been informed schedule of load shedding for preparation, which helped a lot. The accommodation is cozy and modern, much more better than photos. The location is good and quite. You can drive to the cliff beach and town center in 10 minutes.

Exceptional stay with stunning views. The best place we stayed at during our entire trip - beautiful room & design, newly renovated. The online photos don’t do it justice. Evelyn is an incredible host who is joyful and accommodating. She makes a delicious breakfast and goes above & beyond to ensure guests are happy. Located closely to the cliff walk, you can walk to the popular part of town (Gearings Point) easily via the path (less than 3km walk and a beautiful walk at that!).

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.
