    Me and my dad we stayed 2 nights there. We had a lovely time, the lady was very nice and helpful. The garden looks amazing and everything was done with love. The rooms were good as well, big, clean and with a balcony. The breakfast is fair for the price and we felt welcome and appreciated there. She gave us lots of information, what we can to in Hermanus, she even walked with us to show us where to go :) I really recommend it there

    Very Accomodating to all kinds of people and they've inside parking with security cameras to protect you and your vehicles. Besides that, the rooms are beautiful with an outside over looking space to the sea when you just want to enjoy the sea breeze.

    Lovely experience. The owner is such an amazing woman, loving, caring and patient. She gives a lovely tour of her place. Definitely going there for the yummy breakfast this week.

    This hostel is such a welcoming place. The owners and the staff are super lovely, helpful and very aware of the environment. We especially liked the beautiful house. It's old but gold! You can see, that someone put a lot of thought in every detail. All the plants and seating areas create a great atmosphere. And it's clean. If your looking for a warm and lovely place to stay, go there! Best regards Paul, Alex, Valentin and Martha :)

    This was horrible, she wanted to make us pay extra for the 10 year old kids because she thought they where 12 years old and even canceled our breakfast we payed for and didn't give our money back

    Amazing experience at Zoete Inval. Didn’t know what to expect coming from Canada and hearing how there might be safety concerns visiting South Africa but I can say the stay in Hermanus at this property exceeded all our expectations. The staff is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. The rooms were comfortable and clean and there were very affordable breakfast options. The location is great! I was able to take a hike up the mountain and swim in the sea in the span of 45 minutes! There are plenty of activities to do including shark cage diving, whale watching, wine tours, golf, beaches, etc. We stayed for a week and the time flew by. Highly recommended.

    Wow Terrible Servuce from the Lady in the Front, I can't even say that She welcomed us all she did was receive us. We got there rather late and since she was supposed to mention on the phone when we called and when we got there that there will be a fee because it's late, she did not do that. We only heard about this Late Fee when we were supposed to check out which was the next day. THEN she refused to give us all our money back for the breakfast we didn't have there and then she JUST took the R100 that she claims was for a late fee that she never mentioned to us about - the night before or on the phone with we called. Terrible terrible service from this lady honestly and she threatened to throw us out if we made any noise because "this is a quiet place and we don't want any noise else we will kick you out" according to her. WOW. Terrible Experience For real!!

    The double room was a kind flashback of the past. Everything was clean. We also liked the kindness of our host. We did not try the breakfast but it looked good. The kitchen could have been more equipped (sponge and glaces, for instance)

    Clean and welcoming hostel type hotel, with a selection of room options. Decor and style in a 40 year old time warp, but all in good working order. Secure parking. 15 min walk from town centre. Included breakfast was a pleasant surprise and good experience. .

    This place brings back old memories. When I was still in school. ( In the 90's). My old best friend's grandmother used to live there. My friend and I used to sleep over and spent some time with Marilyn and Jan. If you get to know them, you would see they are lovely people who took my friend and myself on outings. I actually miss those days. We had fun.

    Beautiful place. Kitckens are self service and stocked with cutlery, crockery and cofee too. Slept like a rock. Staff a little paranoid over payment, guess lockdown still taking its toll on the tourism community.

    This is a hidden gem! My crew and I stopped in for the first night of our Cape to Cairo road trip. We loved it so much we stayed for a second night. I wish we had a place like this in the USA.

    It's was..... interesting. My first thought was that it is a guest house but it's more a backpackers really. It was a nice stay not something I'm really use to. The staff was friendly and the rooms are really clean. If you want TV in your room and air-conditioning unfortunately it's not available. It was a bit strange that they had a permanent resident that you have to share a bathroom with, that is why I took the other room with a private bathroom. But then again it's not a hotel so I understand. It was a nice stay but I prefer my air-conditioning and a bit more privacy. But a nice stay. The location is next to a busy road so it was a bit noisy. It was ok

    Some what of both a backpackers place and cheap hotel in Hermanus where we booked a double room. The room itself was spacious, but when you enter it smelled a bit like an elderly home, probably because everything in the room was around 40 years old. The breakfast was very good, the staff lovely.

😠 Came in for a breakfast and to do some work and was turned away because "we're a restaurant not an office". Went next door to Gnocchi which is an AWESOME restaurant which i highly recommend.
