This hotel was perfectly situated in Hermanus, at the town centre and on the waterfront. Fabulous new accommodation with well appointed room. Can lie in bed or stretch out on the couch to watch TV. Close to restaurants and easy to access the short walk through the trees along the waterfront.

On first thought it may seem an expensive place to stay, but once you walk through the front door you realise why. Excellent service, excellent rooms, even more excellent breakfast - especially the scones. My colleague tells me we are flying back from Kuwait in October not to see the Whales, Sharks, taste the wine or enjoy the views -... More

I stayed in room 20 on the second floor for a romantic night away with my fiancee during one of our worst storms! We had the most wonderful time. The room was light and spacious, but still warm and toasty. My worst hang up with hotels in general, is the feeling that someone had slept in the bed prior to... More

Stayed just one night - in room 25 - and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We have been to Hermanus several times before but this our first stay at Harbour House. Chose one of the less expensive rooms (at the back/second floor) as this was just an overnight stay but room was spacious, clean and the small balcony gave a pleasant... More

It was a very romantic stay for my wife and me. It was cozy and warm. The breakfast was very delicious, however my wife's egg's had a film on it that wasn't to nice. Other than that everything was very good.

I spent with my wife a lovely week end at the Harbour Hotel. We had selected the Romantic package. The room was perfect for our stay. Huge open bathroom, small lounge area with DSTV, a wonderful 180 degrees view on the ocean. On the low side, we advice the owner to redesign the layout of the toilet to offer more... More

The hotel is situated directly opposite the ocean with the potential of viewing whales directly from your bedroom. The place is well appointed, however I have stayed in 5 star hotels that are somewhat more beautifully appointed. I highly recommend the hotel for it's locality, within walking distance of a good selection of restaurants and excellent coffee shops.

I really hate it when I book a 5 star place expecting 5 star all the way and then the reality turns out to be a good 3 star or at a push 4star. This is exactly how Harbour House was for us. It certainly gets 5 stars for the location, view and the rooms BUT as far as service... More

The highpoint of our stay at the Harbour House Hotel was the breakfast we had outside at the long table underneath the old pine tree. It was breathtaking! the view over the bay pristine, the sea bright and the food great. It will stay with me forever.
