The rooms were spacious and the house has lovely finishes. The owners live onsite and are very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely go back. Breakfast is sadly the same options every day, however they provide you with a breakfast voucher should you wish to eat elsewhere. The rooms could also use more DSTV channels with only 3 being available.... More

We returned again to an exceptional place. we have travelled the world and it is not often we opt to go back to where we have been before. However the accommodation is first class and the hosts are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble and we couldn't have wished for a better stay. The view is superb and the level... More

Our room was superb - very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Charmaine and Hilton make sure that all guests are treated as friends rather than customers, attending to every request promptly and precisely. The breakfasts are filling, and need to be ordered the previous evening. The honesty bar is a very useful concept. The guest house is around 1 km from... More

We had overseas visitors with us and stayed for two nights at On the Cliff guest house to watch the wales. Our party was nine adults plus my two grandsons, aged five and three. We were all very impressed by the B&B which was of a very high standard. My five year old grandson was not as happy as the... More

We were very pleased when shown to our room. Room # 8 is a spacious 2 room suite. The large sitting room is a cozy place to watch tv or read. A cabinet offers everything for making coffee or tea. The bedroom has a king size comfy bed. Updated bathroom and tons of storage space. A large balcony faces the... More

I spent 2 very comfortable nights at this perfectly situated guest house. The hosts could not have been more helpful or welcoming. My room was extremely spacious and very clean, and I found the bed very comfortable. My room was on the lower level so it had a patio rather than a balcony. While it was much more than adequate...

Stunning luxury accommodation overlooking the sea. We saw dolphins swimming towards the harbour both days of our stay. The huge balcony protected us from the wind. A delicious welcoming fire was lit for us in the lounge. The underfloor heating was great. We had a stormy day in Hermanus but On the Cliff Guest House made it a worthwhile stay.... More

We stayed one night only. What a pity!! we stayed in many beautiful guesthouses in our trip in South Africa but this is our top. Rooms are big, immaculately clean, private parking, and an incredible view of the bay. We saw 2 whales from the balcony. Breakfast was delicious and the hosts, very warm welcoming. Internet was fast and free.... More
