La Fontaine Guest House Hermanus

Super spacious room with lovely views. Guest house is a short walk into town. Natasha was excellent host.

I planned a road trip around the overberg region and it started in Hermanus ( I am from California) . I looked at all the many options available and settled on La Fontaine based on the location and the photos of the property. I arrived early on check in day , but was met by very kind and friendly Natasha who sat down with me and took time to get to know me and find out about my visit. That made a very good first impression to me. I loved the older , traditional interior of the established beach house look. My room was huge with lots of space ( I think I booked the honeymoon suite) as it tool up nearly the entire front of the house. Having stayed in many many hotels and guest houses around the world ; some being extremely high end, there is definitely a sense that the guest house is due for a refit when it comes to the rooms. The bathroom particularly looks outdated , although I will state categorically that despite being old, it is very clean and well maintained. I loved the honesty bar in the room, and the tea kettle and coffee machine for those cups of tea during the day ( and the milk in the fridge is a nice touch too for ones tea). The pools both looked very inviting , but it was a bit too cold on the day to swim. Loved that the guest house has off street secure parking. The grounds are well tended to and looks fantastic . It's close to town to walk to the restaurants and shops and across the road is the cliff side walking path. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the breakfast offerings were great with a nice selection to suit everyones palate . If I come back to Hermanus , I would definitely stay here agin.

Comfortable room, great breakfast choice, secure parking, beautiful views, small pool. So handy for walking to shops and restaurants and access to the cliff path walk., view of sea .Staff very friendly, drinks available at honesty bar..

The guest house is perfectly situated in hermanus with great view on the ocean.Rooms are perfect, good beds and sanitairy. All very clean. Great breakfast and super service

This place ticks all the boxes - great location, super facilities, friendly staff, and all within a 5 minute walk from the centre of Hermanus.

the B&B is very cozy and located. For sure is one of the places that must stay on the garden route. It was a pitty that a only stay one night. Natasha was also an very helpfull host.
