Hornbill House

Clean, well kept room and you can walk to a brewery at night. Shopping mall also close. Just outside hermanus and 10 minute drive to the harbour and downtown area. Michelle was very helpful and sent pin to direct us.

A lovely places to unwind after a long overnight flight. A well-equipped apartment convenient for Hermanus and around.

Host was very helpful and very kind. 
The place was calming and gave a sense of relaxation.. very clean and cosy. I will go back again. Did not wanr to leave. Friendly host. Place got everything you need .

We stayed here for 8 nights during a big family celebration. We couldn't have chosen a better spot. Walked to 2 wine estate tasting rooms, a world class wine shop also walking distance. 3 restaurants that we could walk to and then direct access to Hemel en Aarde Valley and close to a large mall and Sandbaai and surrounding beaches. The apartment was homely and spacious and well equipped and nothing asked was too much trouble for John. Our laundery washed and ironed neatly and returned on time at a fraction of expected cost. We will most definitely be back for more. Thank John!!

Wow we had a great time
The place is fantastic however we did indicate on the email that we were a noisy bunch but Sandy almost spoilt our fun by bringing the police, we weren't allowed to talk at all apparently we were making noise


We really loved this place. It gave us the feeling of being at a Game Lodge. The top flat is spacious and well-decorated. Would highly recommend. Lovely coffee shop right next door and wine farms down the road.

We had a short but very enjoyable stay here. The host is super helpful and friendly. Loadshedding caused some issues with getting our car in the gates, but very kindly gave us the main entrance's key. Lovely apartment with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding luxurious. Highly recommended

We only stayed one night but the place is so spacious, has everything we you might need if you wanted to stay longer and self cater. Location is great for Hemel and Aarde wine router and wine village restaurants. The decor and the artwork is also fun to look at. 

We stayed one night only however we really loved the place. The house feels very warm and welcoming, everything is clean and well organized. Owner is friendly and helpful. There is also nice bakery and brewery nearby :)

MY STAY AT HORNBILL

Perfect family accommodation.

What a brilliant stay

I spent one night here on a work trip and the only thing I'm sorry about is that it was just one night. I will definitely be back. The room came as a pleasant surprise. It is very spacious, with a basic kitchenette and a comfortable sitting area for watching TV.  It is sparkling clean, with quality white cotton bed linen and a mosquito net. The location is perfect within easy walking distance to the 24 hour Engen shop and a few good restaurants and breakfast spots across the road. John is a wonderful host who responded to messages timeously, and understands hospitality. When I explained that I had a bakkie load of photography equipment with me, and no energy to schlepp it upstairs to my room, he generously offered the use of his personal garage. Thank you, John! Hospitality like this makes such a difference.

Spacious, comfortable room and a wonderful host

This was the perfect way for our family to spend a long weekend in a home-away-from-home apartment. The rainy weather kept us indoors for most of the time, but the good wifi and indoor-braai meant that we could still enjoy the time. We had to ask for some extra towels and toiletries, but other than that, we were very happy and will definitely recommend Hornbill to family and friends.

Affordable and comfortable family get-away

We came back to SA after a big tour in the summer because we wanted to spend more time around Hermanus, to that end were on a bit of a budget this time.  Hornbill House was really well priced, in a brilliant location for getting around and gave us the freedom of some self catering.  The room was really cosy, the bathroom a bit rustic, but roomy and perfectly adequate.  We had a problem with the water a few days after we arrived, it wasn´t the fault of the owner, the local reservoir had been allowed to dry out (!!!)  anyway all efforts were made to look after us and all the staff went above and beyond to make the rest of our stay wonderful.  I would certainly go back if I was taking the same sort of trip.

Cosy place, great location with self catering

Arrived to a very warm welcome. We were in the garden apartment with secure gated parking. Greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine from Hornbill winery - outside braai area with dining table, cosy living room, kitchen provided everything you need (including tea/coffee & milk which was much appreciated after a long drive) - fantastic shower & bedroom. Close to shops and a 5 min drive to the sea front where we were fortunate to witness the whales.  Wished we had booked a longer stay.

The reception emailed in advance of our arrival requesting an approximate time of arrival as the reception is not manned 24/7. We were given directions and when we arrived and formalities over, we were shown to the room and facilities. The kitchen is well provisioned for self catering and the room is quite large. Neat and clean.

Hornbill House is in an exceptional location at the foot of the Hemel en Arde wine valley and also very close to the excellent whale watching locations in Hermanus. The facilities of the accommodation are well thought out and really provide everything you need for a wonderful self catering stay. Or, if you prefer you can take advantage of the nearby cafes and restaurants. The only small downside of our stay is that, due to unfotunate circumstances, we were never properly introduced to the host/owners, which would have been nice. However, we encountered few issues that we needed help with and, when we did, they were dealt with quite promptly. Overall, our time in the one bedroom apartment was a very pleasant stay at a reasonable price for what is on offer. Thoroughly recommended.

Spacious, well equipped and private accommodation

Lovely quirky non commercial place to stay.  If you're bored of big hotels,  check this great little place out. Lots of local art and crafts,  courtyard parking and felt very safe. A nice change to be self catering after Cape Town.  Whales and Hermanus are amazing.  Check out local markets too. We loved it and the owners wine nice too.
