Pelagus House

We had stayed in Hermanus before but not at Pelagus, which was less central than our last stay BUT it worked better for us, with only 5 or 10 minute stroll to the centre of Hermanus (and away from the noise of the tourists and traffic). 25 - 30 mins stroll the other way took you to the new harbour and whale watching. The (sea) view from the room was amazing. The room and bed very comfortable, breakfast excellent and the gated parking felt very secure. Didn't quite understand the lack of flexibility of check in, however, that said, it didn't affect us as our flight arrived at CPT at 10am and after dealing with our car rental 1pm suited fine. Would return in a heartbeat (and probably will!)

Due to bad planning we unfortunately arrived on the wrong date but how lucky were we to find Nadia when we arrived .With a little juggling she was able to accommodate us and bring our booking forward .Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and all so friendly .Everything we needed to make our trip great was there .The location was also very good and felt very safe . We will definitely return .

After travelling for 2 weeks in South Africa, we really think this place was the best value guest house we had the pleasure to stay in, in South Africa for the following reasons: Fantastic Price. Fantastic Room and Breakfast. Great easy parking. Short walk to town, all the local attractions and restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff.
