Stayed only one night and wished we stayed for longer. Great location to explore Hermanus foreshore by foot. Team is great. Rooms are large, clean and make you feel like you are in the French countryside.

Pure Sea was worth the drive from Cape Town. The property is beautiful and the staff is so friendly. I stayed here because I wanted to relax and watch the whales and that's exactly what I did. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer. I highly recommend staying here.

The room had beautiful views of the sea. It is within walking distance of nice restaurants. The place is both modern and welcoming. The staff is amazing and the hosts made us feel like family. Breakfast was delicious and we were able to eat it outside while the waves crashed against the rocks nearby.

The hosts were so kind! Once we arrived, we got welcome drinks by the pool, which was such a nice gesture. We loved staying here – the whole villa is so beautiful with lots of African art, a wonderful pool area and everything designed with attention to detail. The bed, the bathroom, and the breakfast table were beautifully decorated with fresh flowers. We would have loved to stay longer.

Nicola and her husband were absolutely fantastic, and both the kids wished we were staying an extra day as they loved the cottage. Close to the harbour and the restaurant with Marine Dynamics were outstanding. My son was not well so with my daughter we went on the shark cage experience, staff assured us he would be looked after and they did. Happy man when we came back. Stay in the Guest House, speak to Nicola first top get a good rate on the shark experience as well as being very hospitable. Thank you.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this French Provençal-styled boutique hotel. We had two rooms, both of which were extremely comfortable. The beds and bed linen were superb and the staff very pleasant and professional. There was coffee and tea in the room as well as a snack, plus a minibar and luxury toiletries. The breakfast was delicious. We can highly recommend.
