147 Abalone Inn

Great place with all the necessary amenities and gadgets to make your stay easy and comfortable. Yvonne and her daughter was so friendly. I would like to return in the near future and stay longer! Every tech and gadget was available in the main house, rooms and kitchen from high tech coffee machines to modern bathrooms and kitchens.

Great accommodation in Hermanus. The rooms are very modern and clean. The bed is so comfortable. The location is great, right next to the Cliff Path Trail. The accommodation is great value for money. Only downside was the apartment and bathroom have bad soundproofing. Yvonne was very nice, we got wine and treats. Unfortunately we stayed there only for one day, we would have liked to stay longer. We would definitely come back again.

We had a very warm welcome from the host, very friendly hospitable and went out of the way to provide anything we needed. A bottle of wine and chocolates were provided although I think my wife got a first dibs on both the wine and chocolate! We had some issues with the Wi-Fi, The signal wasn’t great and the Internet connection was poor to the point of being non-existent which impacted my ability to work. Multiple attempts were made to rectify this and I was assured this was a one off for other than a regular occurrence. So if you are booking here and you need Internet, you might want to take this into account. We didn’t appreciate how close the ever accommodation is to our accommodation, as the family checking in next to us were quite noisy and the late evening. Although the accommodation owner can’t be held to account for that. Also note that there are no curtains in the rooms but blinds, if you are light sensitive whilst you’re sleeping, you may want to put eye shades on as the morning sun does creep into the bedrooms. From my price point of view, at 2000 South African rand, we felt this was expensive compared to Cape Town and the rest of South Africa, although this may well be the going rate for the area. Please do read the descriptions of all the rooms as the kitchenette is also a sleeping area And not somewhere you can easily lounge in. Otherwise, could not fault the service and the owner went above and beyond to attempt to resolve some of the Wi-Fi issues.
