I will definitely be back. The room came as a pleasant surprise. It is very spacious, with a basic kitchenette and a comfortable sitting area for watching TV. It is sparkling clean, with quality white cotton bed linen and a mosquito net. The location is perfect within easy walking distance to the 24 hour Engen shop and a few good restaurants and breakfast spots across the road. John is a wonderful host who responded to messages timeously, and understands hospitality. When I explained that I had a bakkie load of photography equipment with me, and no energy to schlepp it upstairs to my room, he generously offered the use of his personal garage. Thank you, John! Hospitality like this makes such a difference. ##### Marian Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Nov 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Upgrade auf Suite, superschöner Garten- ruhige Lage ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Lianne Apr 23, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Affordable and comfortable family get-away This was the perfect way for our family to spend a long weekend in a home-away-from-home apartment. The rainy weather kept us indoors for most of the time, but the good wifi and indoor-braai meant that we could still enjoy the time. We had to ask for some extra towels and toiletries, but other than that, we were very happy and will definitely recommend Hornbill to family and friends. ##### Lianne Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Joshua, Cape Town, ZA Mar 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Large functional rooms, good location, safe environment. ##### Joshua Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Francis Feb 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Confortable and quiet We only stayed one night, as planned. Hornbill House is a little away from Hermanus town center but it's easy to park the car, safe, close to shopping. It has everything to cook as well as being a confortable accommodation. We would really recommend it. ##### Francis Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariano Jan 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Muy buenoo ##### Mariano Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### TRACEY Dec 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cosy place, great location with self catering We came back to SA after a big tour in the summer because we wanted to spend more time around Hermanus, to that end were on a bit of a budget this time. Hornbill House was really well priced, in a brilliant location for getting around and gave us the freedom of some self catering. The room was really cosy, the bathroom a bit rustic, but roomy and perfectly adequate. We had a problem with the water a few days after we arrived, it wasn´t the fault of the owner, the local reservoir had been allowed to dry out (!!!) anyway all efforts were made to look after us and all the staff went above and beyond to make the rest of our stay wonderful. I would certainly go back if I was taking the same sort of trip. ##### TRACEY Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 13, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Calme, propre, grand et fonctionnel, sécurisé.

We were in the garden apartment with secure gated parking. Greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine from Hornbill winery - outside braai area with dining table, cosy living room, kitchen provided everything you need (including tea/coffee & milk which was much appreciated after a long drive) - fantastic shower & bedroom. Close to shops and a 5 min drive to the sea front where we were fortunate to witness the whales.

Oct 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort The reception emailed in advance of our arrival requesting an approximate time of arrival as the reception is not manned 24/7\. We were given directions and when we arrived and formalities over, we were shown to the room and facilities. The kitchen is well provisioned for self catering and the room is quite large. Neat and clean. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Yema, London Sep 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Spacious, well equipped and private accommodation Hornbill House is in an exceptional location at the foot of the Hemel en Arde wine valley and also very close to the excellent whale watching locations in Hermanus. The facilities of the accommodation are well thought out and really provide everything you need for a wonderful self catering stay. Or, if you prefer you can take advantage of the nearby cafes and restaurants. The only small downside of our stay is that, due to unfotunate circumstances, we were never properly introduced to the host/owners, which would have been nice. However, we encountered few issues that we needed help with and, when we did, they were dealt with quite promptly. Overall, our time in the one bedroom apartment was a very pleasant stay at a reasonable price for what is on offer. Thoroughly recommended. ##### Yema Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire, Wiltshire Aug 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Whale watching stopover Lovely quirky non commercial place to stay. If you're bored of big hotels, check this great little place out. Lots of local art and crafts, courtyard parking and felt very safe. A nice change to be self catering after Cape Town. Whales and Hermanus are amazing. Check out local markets too. We loved it and the owners wine nice too. ##### Claire Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sherrington Court suite 1](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Sherrington-Court-Suite-1.h25833184.Hotel-Information) > > [Harpers House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Harpers-House.h14702249.Hotel-Information) > > [The Yard - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Yard-Hostel.h42135097.Hotel-Information) > > [Afton Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Afton-Safari-Lodge.h113633206.Hotel-Information) > > [Vetho Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Vetho-Villa.h18079509.Hotel-Information) > > [Whale Away Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Hermanus-Hotels-Whale-Away-Guest-House.h21121581.Hotel-Information) > > [Unit 613 Cape Royale Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-613-Cape-Royale.h42354206.Hotel-Information) > > [Town Lodge Bellville](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Town-Lodge-Bellville.h485201.Hotel-Information) > > [Guadeloupe Self Catering](https://www.expedia.ca/Knysna-Hotels-Guadeloupe-Self-Catering.h27059314.Hotel-Information) > > [Camps Bay Beach Apartment](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Camps-Bay-Beach-Apartment.h24926742.Hotel-Information) > > [2 Cottons Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-2-Cottons-Cottage.h31844970.Hotel-Information) > > [Coopmanhuijs Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Coopmanhuijs-Boutique-Hotel.h3750887.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandown Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Sandown-Lodge.h44551166.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocaso by Totalstay](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Ocaso-By-Totalstay.h21521657.Hotel-Information) > > [Elements Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Elements-Lodge.h3648412.Hotel-Information) > > [Penguins View Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-PENGUINS-VIEW-GUESTHOUSE.h48804983.Hotel-Information) > > [Prince Edward Mansions suite 3](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Prince-Edward-Mansions-Suite-3.h26668455.Hotel-Information) > > [Horizon Bay 1201](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Horizon-Bay-1201.h29659268.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilderness Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Wilderness-Hotels-Wilderness-Beach-Hotel.h178123.Hotel-Information) > > [Azure 213 On Big Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Azure-213-On-Big-Bay.h28783146.Hotel-Information) > > [Aurora Guest Units](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Aurora-Guest-Units.h37859074.Hotel-Information) > > [Umoya Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Umoya-Boutique-Hotel.h96057334.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Winchester-Mansions-Hotel.h119452.Hotel-Information) > > [Oudekraal Lodge - Comfortable and Spacious 3-bedroom Holiday](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Oudekraal-Lodge-Comfortable-And-Spacious-3-Bedroom-Holiday.h100418462.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Cape-Grace-Hotel.h541970.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswold House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Cotswold-House.h1486450.Hotel-Information) > > [Queen Victoria Hotel & Manor House by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Queen-Victoria-Hotel.h4271934.Hotel-Information) > > [The Den Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Den-Apartments-By-Cape-Summer-Villas.h38084092.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grosvenor Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Grosvenor-Guest-House.h13371813.Hotel-Information)
