All Comments for Inkwazi Lodge

We were staying at the lodge in the last weekend of March 2014. We enjoyed our stay thanks to the great hosts. Pity we never managed to make it to breakfast because our stay involved very early mornings and very late nights due to the great offering of activity happening around the town of Hermanus.

Met two amazing people, Trudi and Derrick Dickens, who made you feel so at home. Would recommend this lodge to everybody.

3 stars for this accommodation is overabundance. It was not clean and the couch was very old. The owners were cat lovers, so we found everywhere catshair and when we sit outside the came anytime to us.

Establishment's response

We have addressed the complaints that were made. The couch was due for a clean, but due to inclement weather had to be postponed and was only cleaned the week after the guests had left. As for the complaint about the cats coming up to them when they sat outside, I have a cat called Garfield who is very friendly and always greets the visitors. The other two always steer clear of strangers.

I am very sorry that Mr van Duign did not make me aware of his problem at the time, but this has now been resolved.

Loved the boat and aeroplane art. Great conversations. Fantastic breakfast. Would have liked to have stayed longer. 10 out of 10. Thanks.

The best was the personal attention given to us. We were taken on a most wonderful trip up the mountain by the owner which was very educational. Great location. Out of the way of the city, but close enough.

Very enjoyable and relaxing, will go back again in the future.

We had a fantastic time in Inkwazi Lodge Derek and Trudi really made our stay most memorable They could not do enough to please us Derek took us on a getting to know Hermanus trip on our first evening which was very exciting. Trudi,s breakfasts were delightful Bed was very comfortable and the location very peaceful and secure It was a very good location from which to tour Hermanus and the surrounding area.A very homely and welcoming guesthose which we recommend and would love to visit in the future. Thank you so much from Mike and Dymphna in Ireland

Fantastic stay. Owners are just fantastic people.

Our stay at Inkwazi Lodge was relaxing, homely and the perfect relaxing getaway. We were greeted by the warm and friendly Derrick and Trudy and welcomed into their lodge with open arms. We will definitely return to Inkwazi Lodge.

When we arrived ad the Inkwasi lodge. Derrick took us to Hermanus and showed us all the interesting points. We had a private tour by Derrick. We never had a breakfast with so many fresh fruits!

Fantastic! Home away from home.

Very good, everything well organized and clean.

We had a great stay and enjoyed both the hospitality and surroundings. A good introduction to Hermanus.

We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks for all your hospitality. And nobody knows ... maybe we come again :-)

I absolutely loved staying here. Derrick and Trudie are the most excellent hosts, I cannot rate Inkwasi Lodge highly enough. It is one of the first establishments I have given a 5 star rating. I am looking forward to staying again in the near future.

Thanks for everything that you did for us during our short but thoroughly enjoyable visit at Inkwanzi. Trudy and Derrick, we shall always remember your warmth, hospitality and all the assistance you gave us, without which our holiday would never have been the same :-). Despite the weather, which was at it's worst; we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our stay was indeed a revelation and remains the highlight of our holiday so far this year. Our only regret was that we could not spend more time in this magnificent town, for truly there is so much to see. In fact our appetite has only been whetted and we hope that we shall return soon to visit Hermanus and surrounds. The town, we felt, was one of the nicest we have visited, the people are friendly, the food (especially the places you had recommended but they certainly don't beat Trudy's cooking :-)) was excellent and we certainly felt safe and secure at all times. Since returning we have spoken to many of our friends about our visit. I would recommend Inkwanzi lodge without hesitation to anybody wishing to visit Hermanus and surrounds, and have already mentioned it to my work colleagues

We had a very pleasant stay, did not feel at home but we were at home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Inkwasi Lodge. The owners were so welcoming and warm and the food wonderful. A great start to our South African experience.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful homely B& B. The accommodation suited to our needs and Dereck and Trudy were fantastic. We will be visiting there again.

We enjoyed our stay very much! Was like being at home! Very friendly host and hostess. Went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Will highly recommend this GH!

We had a fantastic time, superb hosts - a special thank you to Trudy and Derrick who went out of their way for us. Even though we had been to Hermanus many times, Derrick took us for a drive up the mountain and pointed out things that we had never known about. Superb hospitality, scrumptuous breakfasts, close to the sea, beautiful facilities, peaceful surroundings - highly recommended!! We were sad to leave but will be back!

Very friendly and hospitable, kind and they spend time with the guests. Overall very clean and neat and what you see on web page is the true reflextion. This lodge makes you stay like being at home.

My parents were impressed with the personal attention and care they received. Many thanks to Inkwasi! Keep up the high standard of hospitality.

Our stay in Inkwazi Lodge was exceptionally pleasant. Trudi and Derrick are excellent hosts and the room is also excellent with all that is necessary. Something that impressed us from word go: At our arrival and during the usual introductory conversation we told our hosts of our nationality. Well, after settling in we went out to the car and for our pleasant surprise and delight Derrick had the Portuguese flag flying high in one of the masts! Isn't that something?! Also Derrick took us on a tour to the look out point over Hermanus always telling us everything about the city and its history! Trudi's breakfasts also very good and delicious! Could't be better! Thank you for informing us of this excellent B & B.

STUNNING ACCOMODATION AND INCREDIBLE HOSPITALITY-WILL VISIT AGAIN AS SOON AS WE CAN!

Very pleasant stay. Trudy and Derrick very hospitable.
