We loved our time at Penguino guesthouse. It has such a warm welcoming atmosphere and Stefan & Nikki went over and above to help us out with tips on what to do/lent us their own boogie board & towels to use at the beach. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious - the best breakfast we had throughout our trip. The guesthouse is in a great location - very close to the centre of Hermanus and the start of the cliff walk. If you come to Hermanus we couldn’t recommend Penguino enough! We definitely will be back :)

Aurelia is a so nice, she prepared everything we need in the room. She reminded us and helped send the cellphone back to us that we left in the room. All the staff are friendly and helpful, they made us feel like home. Also the breakfast is delicious. Wi-Fi is strong, and we’ve been informed schedule of load shedding for preparation, which helped a lot. The accommodation is cozy and modern, much more better than photos. The location is good and quite. You can drive to the cliff beach and town center in 10 minutes.

The bed! So comfy with lively linens! The hosts were just out of this world. She made a egg white and spinach omelette for my husband (who has huge dietary hassles), and made him feel as if it was simple as frying an egg! They gave us all the touristy tips and routes which helped us see all we had hoped we would. It was like bidding family goodbye when we sadly had to leave fairyland and head back to reality!

I looked at the previous reviews and everyone rated the breakfast highly, which made me curious... Upon tasting the breakfast, I agree with the other reviews lol, the breakfast was amazing. Steven is a great host, and the room was comfy with modern finishes. The guesthouse was walking distance from all places one would wish to visit and I could see how the pool area would be desirable in summer.

We really enjoyed our stay in this guesthouse. It is located in a quiet place but very close to the town centre and with a shortcut access to the famous cliff path. Stefan and Nikki are very welcoming hosts and helped us a lot with valuable recommendations on how to spend time. The room has new equipment and is very comfortable. We were there in hot time, but there was always fresh wind from the ocean in the night. Also, very delicious breakfast with generous portions. Definitely recommend this place!

Welcome mini bar in room, airco properly working for hot days, little things taken care of and deliciously smelling fynbos soap & lotion. Gated parking at the guesthouse, a few minutes walking from the center.
