We spent just one night at Milky Way apartment, but it left a lasting impression. From the moment we arrived, our host greeted us with warmth and kindness, making us feel completely at home. The apartment was stunning tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and incredibly inviting. An amazing breakfast! Generous, delicious, and beautifully served it was the perfect start to our day. Though our stay was short, it was packed with charm and hospitality. Milky Way truly shines, and we wouldn’t hesitate to 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!

For one night, this corner of paradise on the coast was our haven. 🌊 The breathtaking view upon waking was just a taste of the magic awaiting us. A warm welcome from Linda and her family, and thanks to her advice, an unforgettable moment: spotting the whales! 🐋 A short stay, but beyond all expectations. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

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.
