“A pleasant stay, we really enjoyed, the pool was clean, the rooms were superb and the host was super”
Breakfast was very nice, though a bit over priced. Location was on a very busy main road, would have preferred somewhere quieter, but convenient location, very central. Rooms were up to an excellent standard, the owner / decorator has thought of everything, was really impressed!

“Exceptional hospitality from Anel made this comfortable, well-located stay outstanding value for money.”
We had a really enjoyable stay at Sixteen Guesthouse on Main. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with a lovely outlook onto the pool area. Everything was well equipped and thoughtfully set up, which made it easy to relax and feel at home. The location is excellent – close to restaurants, shops, and the seafront, all within easy walking distance. Anel was extremely helpful and truly went above and beyond to assist us, making the whole experience seamless from start to finish. Overall, it offered great value for money and we would definitely stay here again.

“Just the location you need for easy access to the town and beaches….thank you once again.”
The location is sooo convenient for the town. Anel and her husband along with her team are the perfect hosts. Superbly clean with all the small touches you could think of. Great 12 night stay….this is a must for travellers to Hermanus.

The rooms are spacious and the aircon was a life saver from the heat. The refill of the filter coffee and rusks was a treat. The swimming pool was stunning.

Our host kindly accommodated our request for a more simple continental breakfast (instead of the SA full breakfast) and charged a fair price for it. Our room and bed were very comfortable, and the shower was one of the better ones we had during our three weeks in SA. The secure parking behind a big gate was also just perfect.
