Top African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary - Gansbaai Hotel Reviews

Harbour House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best room I've ever lived in around this location. It was spacious, clean, with a nice view. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Don't forget to try their signature gin cocktails. It was phenomenon. The bartender was friendly and we had a great chat with him to know more about the country."

Sea Star Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"If you are lucky you can watch whales directly from your room"

One Marine Drive Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing and extremely friendly. They helped us out for our needs as we celebrated a couple nights in Hermanus. The room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was included with our stay and had a lot of options for us. Parking was included as we had our rental for this stop as part of the Garden Route. The hotel is about a 10 min walk from City Center and along the cliff Road Trail that goes around the bay. Again I can’t stress how great the staff was and for a boutique hotel, they matched the energy and attention of a bed and breakfast. Would come back."
