Perfectly situated with beautiful views of the ocean and cliffs. You can start your cliff walk just across the road or sit on a bench and watch the whales. The town centre is within walking distance. The breakfast is fantastic with everything you could gwant. The staff are friendly and your host will make you feel at home.

Beautiful guesthouse with spectacular views! The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The owner Charmaine and her staff were exceptional. The breakfast was great and the self-serve bar with the fantastic views was awesome. A big thank you to Lucky for all your help. If you're in Hermanus this is the place to stay!!

We stayed for two nights as a family of 4 at On the Cliff. We were made to feel very welcome by Charmaine and all our needs were taken care of by Lucky. The rooms had great views over the cliffs to the sea and were spacious and well appointed. Charmaine was super informed about restaurants and things to do in Hermanus. We had pre-drinks and afters both nights in the on site honesty bar: it was great fun. Can't fault the breakfasts: lots of choice. Really enjoyed our stay.

The views from this property gaze into the distance across the sea and it is in an ideal location for exploring Hermanus and the areas north, west and east of the town. The standard of service is very high and an excellent breakfast awaits each morning. Issues regarding load shedding and overnight electricity for medical equipment was handled very quickly and efficiently. A very relaxing property to stay at with full secure parking provided.
