Nice.
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 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.

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

Our visit at Penguino guest house was an incredible experience.
It was very nice to meet a quality person like Nikki as a hostess. The zest for life with which she operates her guest house makes it for sure the best guest house I have ever stayed at. By that I mean it was very clean and tidy and good bedding and everything you could need is in rooms. We got delicious breakfast every morning. Will definitely stay there again.

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!
