Stephan and Nikki are perfect hosts. The guest house is clean and very comfortable. It is right on the cliff path and close enough to walk into town. The breakfast is also amazing,cooked by Stephan. Couldn't have stayed anywhere better. ##### helen Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren Sep 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect place to stay in Hermanus We had a wonderful experience at Penguino Guest House. 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.

The room size is good and comfortable. Warm electric blanket. Nikki helped us with our Whale trip but unfortunately it got canceled at last minute due to bad weather. Will stay here again without hesitation ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephen Dec 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely lovely property in easy safe walking distance of Hermanus centre. Safe secure parking within locked boundary. The owner was really friendly and helpful, with lots of advice of things to do and places to eat and drink. Comfortable clean accommodation and with a nice little swimming pool, although we were too busy to use it! Absolutely first class breakfast. Would definitely recommend and use again. ##### stephen Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### siobhan Feb 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We'll be back!! This is in the top 3 of the best value for money accommodation we've ever stayed in! Why? 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Oude Werf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Oude-Werf-Hotel.h2720474.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Sea Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Sea-Point.h533915.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunsquare Cape Town City Bowl](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-SunSquare-Cape-Town-City-Bowl.h19918386.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Century Plaza Los Angeles at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Fairmont-Century-Plaza.h12670.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront-Breakwater-Lodge.h663635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Twelve-Apostles-Hotel-And-Spa.h548889.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Cape-Town-Foreshore.h4623642.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [One&Only Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-OneOnly-Cape-Town.h2442736.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mount-Nelson.h19437.Hotel-Information) > > [The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Onyx-Apartment-Hotel.h28825118.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun The Cullinan](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Southern-Sun-The-Cullinan.h118030.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wynyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Wynyard-Hotels.d182018.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-Hotels-Fairmont-Le-Chateau-Frontenac.h12522.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Tulum - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Tulum-Newly-Renovated.h870784.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Athens](https://www.expedia.ca/Athens-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d178231-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/del/winnipeg-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Sydney (SYD) to Brisbane (BNE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/syd/bne/sydney-to-brisbane) > > [Flights from Prague (PRG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/prg/yyz/prague-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/tpa/detroit-to-tampa) ### Cars ### Packages > [Rogers Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Rogers-Place-Downtown-Edmonton.d553248622945105180.Vacation-Attraction)
