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!

Probably the best boutique guest house in SA

Room was so very beautiful and Linda and Martyn are exceptionally excellent hosts. All the staff were brilliant and friendly. Best stay we had in SA. If you are going to Hermanus this definitely is the best.

A wonderful place to stay!

Beautiful and modern room, such a special place to stay! Lovely views over Hermanus, but close enough to drive into the centre in 5 mins. The hosts are fantastic, so helpful, friendly and thoughtful. Breakfast was amazing, so much care went into our stay and we had a great time!
