Heerlike verblyf, klipgooi van die see af. Gasvryheid en kos is fantasties.

Ons kon net oornag, maar is op die hande gedra. Sou graag die swembad wou benut, maar die tyd het ontbreek. Die bed slaap heerlik en die stortgeriewe is luuks. Ontbyt is 'n wonderlike ervaring en ons sou graag weer daar wou tuisgaan.

Lekker.

Mooi kamer. Baie skoon en netjies, smaakvol versier. Al wat ek oor kan kla is die kamer word dalk bietjie warm dit benodig 'n beter staan waaier, dis maar R400 by Checkers en daar was nie 'n handhanddoek vir my en my man nie. Ontbyt was die beste wat ek nog ooit gehad het by 'n hotel of enige ander gastehuis. Ek was uitgerus en baie lekker geswem, baie vriendelike eienaars en ons sal weer daar bespreek.

Nice room. Very clean and tidy, tastefully decorated. All I can complain about is the room might get a bit warm it needs a better standing fan, it's only R400 at Checkers and there was no hand towel for me and my husband. Breakfast was the best I have ever had at a hotel or any other guest house. I was rested and had a great swim, very friendly owners and we will book there again.

Stefan en Niki is 'n uitsonderlike gasheer en -vrou. Die ontbyt bied 'n wye verskeidenheid en iets om na uit te sien.

Die kamers is baie netjies, skoon en modern, ons het in die nuwe deel gebly. Die ontbyt bied 'n groot verskeidenheid, van tradisioneel, vrugtebord, kaas en koue vleise tot 'n salm en roomkaas omelet, wat alles by die prys ingesluit is. Stefan is 'n man van vele talente, hy is nie net 'n gekwalifiseerde chef nie, maar maak ook sy eie wyn. Hy het baie kennis van die omgewing aangesien hy daar grootgeword het. Hulle het ook vir ons 'n see-kayak uitstappie gereël. Dit was regtig 'n baie aangename verblyf by Penguino en ons sal beslis weer daar bly.

Stefan and Niki are an exceptional host and wife. The breakfast offers a wide variety and something to look forward to.

The rooms are very neat, clean and modern, we stayed in the new part. The breakfast offers a large variety, from traditional, fruit plate, cheese and cold meats to a salmon and cream cheese omelette, all of which is included in the price. Stefan is a man of many talents, he is not only a qualified chef, but also makes his own wine. He has a lot of knowledge of the area as he grew up there. They also arranged a sea-kayak excursion for us. It was really a very pleasant stay at Penguino and we will definitely stay there again.

Was baie lekker gewees. Geselsies oor heerlike ontbyt het gevoel of ons die chef al jare ken. Nicky het ons hartelik ontvang.

Iets wat mens mis deesdae is 'n gasteboek om te voltooi. Stel voor dat jul 'n klein bankie in badkamer sit - help met takies soos o.a. skoenvasmaak. Jul toiletklappe sal minder gebruik word. Wat van 'n klein beskuitjie met vroegoggend koffie? Robbie en Lorna Robinson

Was very nice. Conversations over delicious breakfast felt like we had known the chef for years. Nicky received us warmly.

Something one misses these days is a guest book to complete. Suggest that you put a small bench in the bathroom - help with chores such as shoe tying Your toilet flaps will be used less. How about a small biscuit with early morning coffee? Robbie and Lorna Robinson

Ons kuier by Penguino gastehuis was ‘n ongelooflike ervaring.

Dit was baie lekker om ‘n kwaliteit mens soos Nikki as gasvrou te ontmoet. Die lewenslus waarmee sy haar gastehuis bedryf maak dit vir seker die beste gastehuis waar ek al ooit tuis gegaan het. Daarmee bedoel ek dit was baie skoon en netjies en goeie beddegoed en als wat mens kan nodig kry is in kamers. Ons het elke oggend heerlike ontbyt gekry. Sal vir seker weer daar tuisgaan.

Die beste diens wat ek al ooit by 'n gastehuis gekry het.

Verblyf was uitstaande, kamers baie goed toegerus, kamers en badkamers is baie modern met daaglikse skoonmaakdiens. Elke kamer het 'n yskassie en elke dag word vars water en melk voorsien, kamers is ook toegerus met koffie- en tee-fasiliteite. Ontbyt is van uitstaande gehalte. Dit is 'n driegangmaal. Ons het die meeste dae slegs ontbyt geëet en elke dag is daar 'n ander hoofmaal. Dit was elke dag uit die boeke! Lieflike swembad met vars mentwater wat langs die swembad bedien word. Gasheer en gasvrou is fantastiese mense, baie vriendelik en gasvry en het meer gevoel of ons vriende besoek. Ek sal nooit weer op enige ander plek in Hermanus bly nie. 'n Bonus is ook natuurlik dat die huis reg oorkant die see is met 'n wandelpad langs die see af aan die een kant tot by die waterfront en aan die ander kant tot by die hawe. Ons het meeste van die tyd oral gestap waar ons wou wees. Hulle kry 7 sterre by my!

The best service I have ever received from a guest house.

Accommodation was outstanding, rooms very well equipped, rooms and bathrooms are very modern with daily cleaning service. Each room has a small fridge and fresh water and milk are provided every day, rooms are also equipped with coffee and tea facilities. Breakfast is of excellent quality. It's a three-course meal. We only ate breakfast most days and every day there is a different main meal. It was out of the books every day! Lovely pool with fresh mint water served poolside. Host and hostess are fantastic people, very friendly and hospitable and felt more like we were visiting friends. I will never stay anywhere else in Hermanus again. A bonus is of course that the house is directly opposite the sea with a promenade along the sea on one side to the waterfront and on the other to the harbour. Most of the time we walked everywhere we wanted to be. They get 7 stars from me!

Wonderful, cozy and welcoming stay.

Penguino Guesthouse was an amazing guesthouse that accommodated us and our family of 7. We were greeted by Stephan, the owner, with great warmth and hospitality that exceeded our expectations. Stephan made us amazing award winning breakfasts that we enjoyed tremendously. The house was a great refuge from the unexpected cold and rainy weather that we encountered by having a very nice bbq room which we lit a fire in and cooked our delicious dinners with our kids. The whole experience was out of this world offering us a very warm and cozy time with our kids with its wonderful spaces and service by the owner and his staff.

Vriendelike diens en 'n "personal touch".

Ons het by Penguino Gastehuis geslaap vir die eerste aand van ons kort wittebrood in Hermanus. Nikki het rooi rose en sjokolade in ons kamer gesit, en die aand vir ons 'n bespreking by 'n heerlike restaurant gemaak. Ons hoef ons oor niks te bekommer nie, en het heerlik ontspan. Dankie vir julle moeite en gasvryheid!

Fantastiese plek om tuis te gaan!

Stefan en Nikki is uitstekend en het ons verblyf baie aangenaam gemaak met hulle gasvryheid en die ontbyt was uit die boonste rakke. Die gastekamers is baie goed ingerig en ruim. Dis baie skoon en netjies en het 'n baie lekker atmosfeer vir oud en jonk. Stefan en Nikki is baie behulpsaam en dra ook goeie kennis van die omgewing en het baie plekkies aanbeveel om te besoek. Dankie julle twee.

Die vriendelike gasheer en vrou het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak!

Die gastehuis bied al die fasiliteite waarna die toeris soek. As jy dapper genoeg is, kan jy ook afkoel in die swembad, wat privaat is. Die ontbyt is iets waarna ons elke oggend uitgesien het. Die bonus daarby, is, die gasheer, wat ook self die kok is. En daar's elke keer 'n verrassing op die spyskaart!

The friendly host and hostess went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible!

The guest house offers all the facilities tourists look for. If you are brave enough, you can also cool off in the pool, which is private. The breakfast was something we looked forward to each morning. The added bonus was that the hosts was the cook. And there's a surprise on the menu every time!

Uitstekende diens en uitstaande ontbyt.

Die gastehuis het 'n puik ligging en is binne loopafstand van restaurante, supermarkte ens. Die gasvryheid van Nikki en Stefan is uitstaande en laastens maar nie die minste nie die uitstekende ontbyt. Daar is elke oggend 'n 'special' soos bloubessie pannekoek of waffle en room of roomys onder andere.

We were met by Niki. She made us feel welcome from the start, the room was of high standard. She recommended some great eating places. The breakfast offered excellent, wide variety. Again recommendations were given for the rest of our trip. It was a good choice. Thank you, five stars are not enough. I will give you 10/10. We will definitely visit again.

Die gastehuis is skoon, netjies en kamers mooi modern. Die ontbyt is heerlik en vreeslik baie om van te kies. Stefan en Nikki is die ideale gasheer en -vrou. Hulle kon baie inligting gee oor die omgewing, restaurante ens. Ons het heerlik gerus! Sal Penguino's definitief aanbeveel!

Ons het vir ons eerste huweliksherdenking gegaan en dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring gewees. Die gasvryheid was bo verwagting en die ontbyt was iets ongelooflik lekker! Ons sal definitief weer gou terugkeer aangesien dit so 'n ongelooflike wegbreek was!
