Our room was beautiful with a spectacular view. The staff could not be more helpful. The shuttle bus was a bonus that we didn’t expect. The food was delicious. The only minor downside was the colour (grey) and size of the pool - although it was always spotlessly clean it appeared a bit murky. However, it wasn’t - it was just that it was painted grey.

The water in the pool did not look very appealing. A kind of dirty?
I nice place to be for a few days with beautiful, bookable view to the ocean.

Beautiful interiors, a truly lovely (and lavish) breakfast, comfort + style, plus warm, friendly staff = FIVE! 'Schulphoek House' certainly earned a top score in my opinion for all the aforementioned and more. There is a small plunge pool, plus a spa and sauna, the gardens are both pretty and functional, you are steps from a coastal walking path, and there is a shuttle that will get you into - and back from - town as needed. [Thank you to Albert for the punctual, safe driving!] Add on that Hermanus is one of the premier whale watching spots on Earth, that you are a short drive from insanely beautiful beaches, plus a 15-minute drive from a world-class wine region ('Hemel en Aarde') and you're winning everywhere *The only query I had with this place is: location. It's somewhat oddly located on a quiet, small suburban street approx. one hour's walk (or 15 minute drive) into central Hermanus. That said, there are some restaurants and other services at this western end of town. All said, highly recommended!

The staff at Schulphoek welcomed us with open arms and big smiles. For the four of us (Heleen & Frank, Petra and Ronald) it was our very first visit to the Hermanus region. Our travel agent suggested staying at the Schulphoek and we glad she did. Wonderful, spacious rooms, great views, huge breakfasts and shuttle service to/from Hermanus. Big thank you to all staff members for making this 2 night staying very memorable. Hope to be back !

Le camere vista mare offrono splendida vista sull’ oceano. Posizione tranquilla ottima soluzione per sosta direzione Hermanus ( a pochi minuti). Ottima la colazione, migliorabile però il rapporto qualità prezzo. Troppo caro considerato la visita in bassa stagione

The property is located in a quiet and safe area of Hermanus. In a few minutes you arrive at the port, where you can take part in whale watching excursions. Not far away there is also the cliff, where it is possible to take peaceful walks. The hotel is in a stunning location, overlooking the sea. From the breakfast room you can admire the entire ocean. The staff was very kind and hospitable. The rooms are huge, colonial in style and all overlook a stunning garden, full of local flowers. Breakfast is served at the table and is of an excellent standard. Definitely recommended

Firstly they gave me a room without balcony as advertised The manager refused tk change my booking to solo traveller and not 2 as my daughter could not accompany me They do not allow ironing in the room and the housekeeper burned my white dress when she ironed it and now I have endless issues to get it resolved. The staff was talking about the burning of dress whilst I could hear them moaning

We had a bad experience with Schulphoek. Our booking was cancelled on the morning we were supposed to arrive. Their excuse was not believable. Also: unresponsive to requests and emails. I eventually had to phone them, at which point they were unhelpful.
