“Beautiful guest house in Hermanus with amazing view”
We stayed two nights at Ridge House and enjoyed every moment. It has a beautiful location on top of the ridge, yet it’s still walking distance to the town center. The room was very nice, clean, and had everything you need. It featured a beautiful terrace with a nice view over the bay, and the wood-fired hot tub was a great bonus. Linda and Martin were great hosts and even made us a breakfast basket the day before, as we were playing golf early in the morning. The perfect place to stay in Hermanus!
