"Perfect location to visit Hemel-en Aarde valley"

14 September 2020

"Good communication and an upgrade after additional booking was made to help with family requirements.Very big unit with all facilities to enjoy a great stay away from home. Some wooden floors very noisy. Stove and dishwasher need a proper cleaning. The art pieces and decorations are very special and enhances the special artistic atmosphere to the unit. Good linen and comfortable beds. Enjoyed the inside braai ."

"Good value"

"this is a clean, spacious, comfortable , friendly and self accommodating place to stay while in Hermanus.they do laundry for 80 rand.they are right at the entrance to the turn off for the wineries just before you get to Hermanus ,so are particularly convenient for going up that road for wine tastings and lunches. I found the lunch and wine tasting at Creations winery to be exceptional for quality value and friendliness. The lunch and tasting at La Vierge was almost is good and had an exceptional view. One place to eat a five minute walk from hornbill is called Eat. It gets great reviews but I found it very disappointing. The only downside is you are always from walks along the shore at Hermanus.<br /><div><br /></div><div>Note if you stay here they have the three-pronged round plugs so the UK and European converters do not work,</div>"

"Beautiful establishment which includes an art gallery, ceramic studio and winery. The unit was very spacious, comfortable and modern with everything you could possibly want in a self-catering unit as well as a complimentary bottle of their Hornbill wine. Our hosts could not have been more accommodating, we felt right at home from the minute we got there. Will definitely be back soon and I would recommend this establishment to anyone travelling to Hermanus."
