“Lovely cozy home-like welcome”
Lovely spacious place with antique funishings, very cozy bedrooms and little green patio with big table and brai, all is neat and clean, only to relax and enjoy the place and Hermanus! Nice hosts Erine and Fannie! It was a real pleasure to meet these people and chat with them. Only a pity - a too short stay.Would defintely return on next trip.Highly recommended!

“Owner very friendly”
The bed in the main bedroom needs to be upgraded. It’s very hard and the base and the mattress doesn’t fit properly.

We stayed for one night at Braeview Guest House and had a wonderful experience. The guest house is very well maintained, cozy, and located in a quiet area, making it perfect for a relaxing stay in Hermanus. What really stood out were the extremely kind and welcoming hosts. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcome. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive, and you can truly feel that they care about their guests. The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Everything was in great condition, and we slept very well. Overall, the atmosphere was warm and pleasant, and we felt at home right away. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Braeview Guest House! 😊

Location was perfect. Short walk to cliff path and short drive to town. Cottage is private, well equipped, clean and offers everything a person might need. Hosts are friendly.

I never made it to the guest house because it was closed, I called the number on your page and it's not working. I had to find other alternatives and ended up booking at How Hoek hotel with my partner. Why accept a booking when you know it's closed and not available? I want my refund, this service is not acceptable.
