The location, the welcome, the room, the SUPERB breakfast, the local knowledge and advice, the electric bikes we hired. And in particular the way hosts Stefan and Nikki interacted with us and the other guests, somehow bringing us all together which enhanced the stay even more.We made some great contacts with people who had stayed at Penguino previously .... which speaks volumes in itself. Hermanus is a lovely, chilled-out place and when we go back we will be staying here again. ##### siobhan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing host, awesome breakfast ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia Nov 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay & excellent breakfast! ##### Julia Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lily Apr 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Couldn’t recommend Penguins guesthouse enough to those visiting Hermanus! ##### Lily Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Priya Apr 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities beautiful property in a great location wish a truly delicious breakfast! ##### Priya Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike Oct 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Enjoyed our stay.

Stefan and Nikki were very welcoming and Stefan had lots of great local suggestions. The breakfast was fantastic. The guest house is just steps away from the Hermanus cliff path and great whale-watching. This is the place to stay in Hermanus! ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren Nov 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Stay with Wonderful Hosts Would highly recommend the Penguino. The hosts, Stefan and his wife Nikki are wonderful and really go out of their way to make your stay easy and comfortable. They can help you with any local tours or places to eat out. The breakfast was outstanding and the room amazing. Would definitely book again! ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Giulia Sep 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended Ultra-welcoming and accommodating hosts, lovely room, nice neighborhood.
