We had the most beautiful stay at Kennedy's hermanus. Ymile and James' hospitality was first class. From our happy arrival to our sad departure everything was perfection. The beach villa was everything we hoped for, beautiful view and tranquil. We will see you soon!!! Jacqui Ebi and Kayla Cassim ♥️

We stayed in the unique and magical garden room, which harked back and felt like a page out of the Secret Garden. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was good and the room was huge and unique. Best of all the private garden and waterfront.
Response from Property: Dear friends, thanks so much for your lovely review - we also love the Hot Tub overlooking the beach and lagoon. Hope to see you two again one day! Kindest regards, Ymile and James

An absolute haven of peace and tranquility with direct lagoon and beach access. Cannot be beaten!We come back year after year. We love the bath hidden in the Milkwood trees and the direct lagoon and beach access from your own little forest. James is very friendly and willingly helps with any questions or needs. Ymile is a very warm and generous person and we love seeing her each year. This is a very special place and we feel privileged to share in its beauty. Thank you Ymile and James for always making our Onrus holiday so wonderful.
Response from Property: Hi dear Sylvie and family, thanks so much for your lovely review! Heart just sore that I did not spend more time with you and lovely family. May you be blessed for 2025 - from our hearts here from Kennedys!!

We had an amazing 9 days stay in the beach suite. The room was well prepared and the jacuzzi was clean and clear. Ymile was an amazing host and James, the butler, did an awesome job in attending to all our needs. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you for a lovely break away. I would recommend Kennedy's to every one.
Response from Property: Dearest Ronel and Neville, it was so very nice having the two of you here over New Year - going into 2025 with us here At Kennedys was so so special. Really do hope we will meet again and that the flu is something of the past. Our sincerest greetings, Ymile and James

I recently enjoyed a two-night stay at Kennedys Beach Villa, and it was absolutely amazing! The location is stunning, offering breathtaking views . The Beach Suite itself is beautifully designed, spacious, and very comfortable, making it the perfect retreat. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Kennedys Beach Villa for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Can't wait to return!"
Response from Property: Hi dear Caron, was so nice meeting you - the weather was just not good! Anyway I am so grateful for your lovely review - highly appreciated! Hope to see you again at another time! Kindest regards, Ymile and James!

We had such a relaxing and peaceful time at the villa. Everything was just perfect. The garden is magnificent and the location ideal. We had our breakfasts at Milk on the Beach restaurant, which is just a 3 minute walk. Wonderful bed and fine linen. We will be back.
Response from Property: Today the 1st day of 2025, we would just like to thank you so so very much for this wonderful review - so nice to start the year with such a review! May 2025 be a blessed year for you both! Kindest regards, Ymile and James

Kennedys completely stole our hearts. It’s one of those rare places that feels private, peaceful, and deeply special. The mix of nature, luxury, and romance is just perfect. We loved the outdoor bath, the quiet walks to the beach, and the cozy little touches everywhere. It felt like the world slowed down while we were there. Truly unforgettable.
Response from Property: Oh, I just want to thank you so much for this lovely review! Highly appreciated! Hope to see again. Kindest regards, Ymile and James

Kennedys Beach Villa is pure magic. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a dream! Private, peaceful, and ridiculously beautiful. The outdoor Jacuzzi, the cozy bed with ocean views, and the sound of the waves at night… unreal. It’s the perfect spot to relax, reconnect, and just breathe. The hosts were so warm and welcoming too. Honestly, one of the most special places we’ve ever stayed.
Response from Property: Hi dear friends, thanks so much for your super review - Kennedys really after all the years - also a heaven on earth for us! So very glad you enjoyed it so much! Our kindest regards, Ymile and James

Kennedys Beach Villa is pure magic. Tucked between lagoon and ocean, it’s the kind of place that instantly makes you slow down and breathe. The outdoor milk bath under the trees was a highlight—such a unique and calming experience. Every detail felt thoughtful and personal, from the cozy linen to the peaceful setting. The hosts were warm and welcoming, striking the perfect balance of hospitality and privacy. Looking forward to my next stay!
Response from Property: Hi Wiehan, I just love such lovely reviews - I cannot thanks you enough for your wonderful review, specially with your tight schedule. Please give my regards to the rest! Hope to see you again in near future! Kindest regards, Ymile and James

We spent a long weekend here and were completely absorbed by the setting. The proximity to the sea is unbeatable—waking up to the sound of the waves and soaking in the endless ocean views from the terrace felt almost surreal. The nearby Melkbos Forest invites quiet walks and gentle exploration, offering the ideal backdrop to disconnect and breathe. It’s one of those rare places where time seems to pause, allowing space to reflect and reconnect with what truly matters. A deeply restorative stay.
Response from Property: Hi Jörg, thanks so very much for this amazingly beautiful review. Makes me so motivated to give the very best to our guests if I read such wonderful reviews. Hope you and family would soon be back! Kindest regards, Ymile and Arwie

We (couple plus our 2 dogs) stayed in the villa, it’s a magical location, the villa has exclusive access to the lagoon and garden. Much thought and flair has gone into creating an experience; wood fired hot tub, the outdoor bath, and the lagoon side area. The view is beautiful. James the ‘butler’ was brilliant, always happy to help. The dogs had the best time with the run of the garden and loved wading through the lagoon. The lagoon is walkable, and from there leads straight onto the beach. Definitely want to return for a longer stay.
Response from Property: Hi Mike, thanks so much for super review! You are really portraying Kennedys to the utmost best! Highly appreciated and know you will be back some time! Will convey your nice words to James aswell. Have a wonderful Christmas and new year! Kindest regards, Ymile and James

What a wonderful place, heaven on earth. Amazing beautiful and relaxing. All one can do is relax and drink wine. We had a wonderful time, stone walk from the beach and beach restaurant. Away from the hustle and bustle of Hermanus. But close enough to visit Hermanus.
Response from Property: Thanks so much for lovely review! Always so very special to see how our guest enjoy what we are passionate about! Have a lovely Christmas and New Year! Kindest regards, Ymile and James

If you’re looking for a place with old-fashioned charm and soul-soothing sea views, Kennedy’s Beach Villa in Onrus is a hidden gem. The villa offers everything you need for a peaceful and comfortable stay — wonderful bedding, reliable high-speed Wi-Fi, television with Netflix and DStv — everything works just as it should. While it’s not modern or flashy, it offers something far more special: timeless character, warmth, and a sense of quiet luxury that’s hard to find. The setting is breathtaking, the hosts are genuinely welcoming, and the whole experience feels like a beautiful step back in time. Perfect for those who appreciate classic charm and an authentic coastal escape.
