This guest house is actually at Sandbaai, well out of Hermanus, and is let down by its location, which feels something like it’s on a British council estate. The owner lives in Germany, and the lady who stands in for him/her is preoccupied by her two other jobs and is always scurrying off to meetings or writing up minutes, so... More

I stayed four nights with my girlfriend and our son (10 months). I have been to a lot of guesthouses and the likes in South Africa(mostly western cape though) for the past two months, and I must say that I am impressed with our room and the place in general. It is situated in the Saandbaai area of Hermanus and... More

HodgyNorthumberland made a horrible and very unfear review. The guesthouse is great. Tranquil, peaceful with not too many people. 5 minute drive from the waterfront, a few minute walk to the beach. We had a Colonial Room (no.2 on the 2nd floor). Friendly stuff gave a basic explanation on 'what is where'. No 30 minutes ‘interrogation’ to show their respect... More

We stayed for 2 nights at this guest house, yes it is a little way from Hermanus, but if you have a car that is not a problem, a short distance from the guest house is the sea with a lovely walk along the coast, we had a very friendly greeting and shown to our room, the lady offered to... More

First the positives - It's cheap, it's clean And the continental part of the breakfast is ok. The location is not great, it is a good drive into hermanus and there is nothing going on in the immediate area. We had a very swift greeting with some random places pointed out, which we still have no idea what she was... More

It s a beautiful guesthouse with beautiful surrounds (2 minute walk from the main beach), tranquil, quiet, friendly staff, best value for money by far, lovely breakfast, very neat, only 5 rooms so not over crowded. I can definitely recommend Amakhosi.

The room was really lovely with a great shower, the veranda was a really nice touch also. Breakfast was also very good and we enjoyed our stay. The whale watching trip we were offered was amazing (take it up if you go!) and the guesthouse is not too far away from the main town.

Friendly hosts, nice room, good shower, near a fab beach (2 minute walk), lovely breakfast, safe for your car as it has big electric gates. Bit out from Hermanus but if you have a car this doesn't matter. Would recommend.

Excellent guesthouse with just a few couples staying. Bedroom was large, very clean and the bathroom had separate shower. Breakfast was cooked to order or there was a good selection of cold choices. The garden had a good pool with plenty of space to sunbathe. Above all, the staff were extremely friendly and efficient; we have stayed there twice now.... More
