Outstanding in all aspects

What a lovely hotel. The rooms were big and modern and the decor was sensational. To add to it the staff were very helpful and it came through that they loved working there and cared for the place. It was stated one of the best 25 hotels in South Africa and I cannot argue with that!

We had a fantastic time at the hotel. We were super advised on our travel planning. Lee-Ann was very caring and gave us the best tips. We booked two excursions based on their experience. Through her contacts, she was also able to organize the places for us at short notice. We felt very well taken care of with her.

Old fashioned but good service

Old fashioned hotel. Large rooms but very dated. No milk on the coffee tray and we couldn’t t work the AC because batteries had run out in the remote control. There was a phone on the room but no way to call reception. Breakfast menu was very limited. Hot breakfast had very small portions. There’s no bar so no option go sit anywhere and get a drink in the evening. It’s a 7 min walk into town and very dark along the route so wouldn’t advise walking it any night time. If you want to go out for dinner in the evening I would suggest taking a car.

Trevlig personal. Gratis parkering men frukost mot kostnad. Vi valde att äta frukost inne i staden istället vilket var mysigt och billigare. Rummen var stora. Skicket är fint, känns lite antikt. Bra läge.

Good stay, but small things matter

Our stay at Misty Waves Boutique Hotel was good. It is great privately owned hotel in terms of location and room comfort. There are few issues that could be much better. One is staff availability and their attentiveness to guest. We checked in on Thursday 19:00 and there was only one staff member at reception, he was totally overwhelmed by requests from guests bordering on being rude. We needed to hoot for him to open the gate as the telephonic buzzer went unanswered by the staff member seeing that he was swamped. The rooms were clean but there are no turn down service. Also only one bottle of water is provided and thereafter the guest needs to purchase water. The mini bar is not stocked and the guest needs to request for this to be stocked, we did not know this as it was not communicated to us during check in. We only later read it on an information sheet. So once again staff attentiveness needs work. I really feel that the hotel needs to attend to these small things to perfect the experience of guests. It is after all a 4 star hotel in the middle of Hermanus servicing a lot of international guests.
