Lovely relaxing place to stay.

Die Liebe zum Detail

Wir waren für eine Nacht bei Ute in der Villa Venusta. Von Anfang an haben wir uns Willkommen gefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und sauber gehalten. Die Zimmer sind sehr hübsch eingerichtet. Es duftet sehr frisch im Zimmer. Toilettenartikel findet man ebenfalls im Badezimmer vor. Am Abend sind wir ins Zentrum von Hermanus gelaufen. Der tolle Weg führt über den Felsenweg, er ist an der Küste entlang angelegt und man ist in ca. 15min. im Zentrum von Hermanus. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Man findet alles was das Herz begehrt. Sogar warme Speisen werden von der Gastgeberin auf wunsch zubereitet. Diese Unterkunft werden wir sehr gerne weiterempfehlen. Wer hier Bucht macht definitiv nichts falsch. Herzlichen Dank nochmal liebe Ute.

Ankommen uns sich sofort wohl fühlen

Wir waren zum zweiten Mal in Süd Afrika und auch zum zweiten Mal in Hermanus. Villa Venusta ist ein persönlich und sehr liebevoll geführtes Haus, in dem wir uns ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt haben. Hier könnten wir wunderbar in unseren Urlaub einsteigen. Unsere Gastgeberinhat uns jeden Morgen mit einen tollen Frühstück verwöhnt. Alles frisch zubereitet und liebevoll präsentiert. Für uns ist Hermanus ein Ort mit einem besonderen Zauber. Den Walen so nah zu sein ist ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Von der Unterkunft kann man auf dem Cliff Path gemütlich in den Ort laufen. Die wunderschönsten Ausblicke und die Wale begleiten einem auf den Weg dorthin. Man muss natürlich in der Zeit vor Ort sein, in der sich auch die Wale mit ihren Jungtieren dort aufhalten. Also, Villa Venusta - eine Unterkunft, die nur weiterzuempfehlen ist. Danke Ute

Jeder Golf-Liebhaber wird das Guesthouse "Villa Venusta" der Gastgeber Ute und Thomas lieben, alle anderen aber auch ! Der Empfang und der Umgang mit den Gästen ist überaus herzlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Wir waren von dem Haus, seinen Annehmlichkeiten und unserem Zimmer sehr begeistert. Ute steht mit Rat und Tat zum Thema Besuch in Hermanus und Umgebung zur Seite und hat den einen oder anderen "Geheimtipp" auf Lager :) Zusammenfassend.....wenn wir wieder in der Nähe sind, werden wir hier absteigen !! Danke Ute und Thomas !

Wir waren 2 Nächte in Hermanus bei Ute und Thomas und haben uns sofort wie zu Hause gefühlt. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt und liebevoll eingerichtet. Ute stand uns jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und ließ keine Wünsche offen. Die Stadt ist gut zu Fuß (10 Minuten) erreichbar und der Weg geht zum größten Teil an der Küste entlang. Vielen Dank für den unvergesslichen Aufenthalt. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Sehr nette Gastgeberin, die viele Tips für den Aufenthalt geben kann. Schöner Pool und Aufenthaltsbereich mit umfangreicher (deutscher) Bibliothek. Gut mit den Auto zu erreichen und Parkplätze innen. Leckeres Frühstück insbesondere mit richtigen Brötchen. Relativ nahe am Zentrum (man kann gut fahren oder auch laufen) Eignet sich auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt oder wenn das Wetter mal schlecht ist.

Excellent accommodation; tastefully decorated;

We chose this accommodation based on other reviews and we were not disappointed. If you want beach front accommodation this is not the place to choose however it is just a couple of minutes walk from the coastal track and a short walk to downtown Hermanus. If you want top service, a fantastic hostess who makes you feel absolutely at ease from the moment you arrive, a room that wants for absolutely nothing and that offers quality furnishings with plenty of space and is tastefully decorated, and on top of that a venue that offers a very good breakfast, then Villa Venusta is an ideal choice. The site security is excellent with off street parking secured by electronic gates. Promoted as a golfers choice, we are not golfers and it mattered not one little bit.
