The room, bedding, and towels smelled of mildew and triggered an asthma attack. There is no view out of the rooms except for a lone musty window opening onto a view of a mouldy wall. The breakfast was good, however, and the morning cook is the sole saviour from this being a 1 star review. Hti

Our stay at The Penguino was absolutely wonderful. Our hosts were warm, engaging, and full of good humour — they made us feel instantly welcome and shared lots of great local tips. The accommodations were spotless and beautifully maintained, and the breakfast was nothing short of exceptional — easily the best we had during our vacation. We couldn’t recommend The Penguino more highly!

The breakfast was just what we needed. Stephan was a friendly and enjoyable host at Breakfast. Our hostess (sorry I have forgotten her name) was wonderful. My partner had being having a digestion issue prior to our arrival, and our hostess generously provided some over the counter medication which was very helpful. The property location is close to the center with many dining options. The scenery in the area is stunning. Highly recommend staying at The Penguino.

Incredible stay, just a short coastal walk to Hermanus waterfront. Owners were amazing hosts, super helpful and fun! Nikki gave some excellent recommendations while Stefan served up amazing breakfasts. A brilliant tag team! Room was also lovely. Thank you for a memorable short visit!

5.0 / 10.0

This is in the top 3 of the best value for money accommodation we've ever stayed in! Why? The location, the welcome, the room, the SUPERB breakfast, the local knowledge and advice, the electric bikes we hired. And in particular the way hosts Stefan and Nikki interacted with us and the other guests, somehow bringing us all together which enhanced the stay even more.We made some great contacts with people who had stayed at Penguino previously .... which speaks volumes in itself. Hermanus is a lovely, chilled-out place and when we go back we will be staying here again.

One night stop over in between Plettenberg & Cape Town. Enabled us to have a half day tour around the area which was well worth while. Everything was as described & more than adequate. Breakfast was superb!

Absolutely lovely property in easy safe walking distance of Hermanus centre. Safe secure parking within locked boundary. The owner was really friendly and helpful, with lots of advice of things to do and places to eat and drink. Comfortable clean accommodation and with a nice little swimming pool, although we were too busy to use it! Absolutely first class breakfast. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Excellent property with very professional service and comforting security. Superior rooms with great features including tea/coffee-making, good Wi-Fi, USB sockets by the bed. Breakfast excellent. Host Stefan very knowledgeable and helped us plan our onward travel. Situated a very short distance from the sea if you fancy whale watching and close enough to the town to reach a great selection of restaurants. We would highly recommend the Penguino.
