My stay at Valentines Hermanus was honestly the best experience I’ve had in a long time. A massive thank you to Greg and Helen —your warmth, hospitality, and attention to every little detail made this stay truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome. The space was immaculately clean, with fresh towels provided every single day. It’s the little touches that really stood out—beautiful flowers in every corner, and the most delicious homemade rusks that made our mornings extra special. The care and effort put into maintaining the space is unmatched. You can tell Greg and Helen genuinely care about creating a home away from home, and it shows in every aspect of the stay. I honestly couldn’t recommend Valentines Hermanus more. If you’re thinking of booking—do it. You’ll love every second of it, just like we did. Thank you again, Greg and Helen!

The guesthouse was amazing and Stephen was very welcoming and accommodating as we had arrived late night from our drive into Hermanus. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it more. Hosts were also very kind as we had to leave early morning and offered a takeaway breakfast as well as ready coffee to start the morning.
