Die Seemeeue

Picture on internet should be amended and not knowing the area we were disappointed that the location is so far outside of hermanus itself and were not happy with the communial kitchen since this is not being advertised. The host is very friendly and helpfull and can recommend him anyday.

Establishment's Response

Thank you for taking the effort to write us a review. It is unfortunate to hear that you were disappointed with your stay at our place. Indeed, Die Seemeeue B&B is not in or near Hermanus centre, we are located in the beautiful Vermont.

We can only advise you to read the displayed information carefully before you make a reservation; this might save you frustrations. You recommend us to amend a picture, but you do not indicate which picture. As you don't specify we cannot take this into consideration. Anne-Marie, our kitchen is not a communal kitchen. However, we do allow our guests to make coffee and tea in our kitchen, and we allow them to use our micro wave, crockery and cutlery, for instance when they want to braai, which is highly appreciated by almost all our guests (guests are not allowed to make a full cooked meal in our kitchen). We have decided to keep these facilities available for our guests as a good B&B should do.

We had a wonderful time at Die Seemeeue. Will defnitely go back.

Peter is a excellent host, the house is lovely and calm. But I will not recommend it for a family holiday.

We were surprised at how far Die Seemeeue was from Hermanus, but this may have been our fault for not reading the small print carefully. We have several issues with this place. Nowhere else were we asked to pay the balance of the price up front on arrival, and also cash was required. The whole place needed updating and a good clean. There was an unpleasant smell in the hallway downstairs and it was extremely dark in there. The bedroom was dusty and the kettle did not look fit to use. The pool was green. Needless to say we will not be visiting this place again.

My wife and I had the most relaxing weekend at Die Seemeeue. Peter is a very charming and knowledgeable host. The breakfast was also fantastic. If you want to break away from the rat race for a weekend, this is the place to be. The value for money is also second to none. We will certainly return!
