La Fontaine Guest House Hermanus

This hotel is possibly one of the nicest I have stayed at in my life. Natasha was faultlessly welcoming and generous with information, support and suggestions. The information booklet she offers on arrival for places to go is the most helpful I've ever come across. The breakfast was luxurious and fresh, the space to eat overlooking the water, and the details in the room from linen and toiletries to the tea and coffee set up was so thoughtful. I only wish I could have stayed longer but even one night was also worth it in that gorgeous room, with the perfect view over the water... with all the little extras thought of, and nothing you don't need. Nothing was difficult to arrange - Natasha even helped me with towels (and the courage!) to manage the quick, refreshing (icy) dip in the pool I was craving after checking out while I waited for my pick up to the next destination.

The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was decent. The location is excellent across the street from the ocean and a short walk from the centre of town.

I believe, I got a good deal through Genius as I could stay for R1040 a night. The hotel is in the city center, where all the sights are, with the breakfast area overlooking the ocean incl. whales and dolphins. The host is very welcoming and helpful and went out of her way to check me in late. She also offered to manage any reservations and bookings for activities during my stay. The breakfast is luxurious. The room wasn’t big but just as the rest of the hotel clean, cute and had everything one might need.

I celebraMy room has its colonial charm! I love the French doors that open up to the garden. I was able to have a nice quiet time and do what I enjoy most, which is reading. My room was spacious, and the living room was a plus. Natasha was very accommodating and responsive. She provided me with the utensils that I needed to enjoy my night. I hope that the staff will maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the hotel, especially the sofas and curtains. I intend to recommend this place to my international friends who visit me often. Also, I love breakfast and have been to many hotels, but this one has a great variety. I also appreciate the option to order additional items like omelettes. It's just a 5 to 10 minute walk to the waterfront, and there are several restaurants within walking distance. The sitting area across the road offers an amazing view. I also love the heated swimming pool! I had a great time! Thank you, La Fountaine and staff!

This is hospitality at its very best. We travel all over the world, and one of our absolute favorites is La Fontaine. The breakfast is just perfect, the croissants are French to its best and you will get your eggs anyway you like them. On top of that, the interior is the stuff of dreams, contemporary yet exquisite and no detail is left behind. Staff is super friendly and will tend to all your needs. 10/10 is not even enough for this place.
