Awesome location not far from the tidal pool, great ammenities one couldn't expect in a backpackers. Catherine is a super host, extremely helpful, very welcoming and a genuinely nice person ! We really enjoyed staying here. Will surely be back !
I'm staying in the dorm and I'm happy with my experience! Friendly management and friendly staff. Clean bathrooms, living areas and kitchen. I will continue supporting this business when visiting Hermanus.
I am a contractor working in Hermanus area from Durban, and this is my very first time staying in a backpackers..the staff is warm and friendly...and I would recommend Hermanus Backpackers to friends and family...its a home away from home... When you walk in from a hard days work..Jacqueline and James staff at Hermanus backpackers would greet you warmly and ask you how was your day...i find Hermanus Backpackers to be the place to stay...long term or short term...when you leave...you will leave with beautiful memories...Gary Short long term contractor at Hermanus backpackers
Awesome place to stay,great and well mannered staff Very neat and organised "Feel like home" atmosphere Very pleasant staff Great location (walking distance from town) Very enjoyable (pool,bar and braai facilities)
The Manager Jaqueline, was racist and disturbed our family by her racist and dehumanizing comments. We only stayed one night, Saturday 11th April 2021. On our arrival she described the lowering of international tourists and the increase in SA tourists as bad. She then started pointing to her skin, as if she was shading in her skin and stated that "those type" of South Africans were the worst- as they were extremely rude and rowdy. She went on for a while, pointing to her skin and dark top- to suggest by her manner that "those" dark skinned South Africans were terrible people. She was very deliberate in not using Racist words, so as not be be heard by people around us. We were highly disturbed by her comments and left her a letter stating that we would be reporting her racist behavior. We are wanting to report her racist attitude and behavior, so as to protect others, who want to support backpackers that are truly diverse and non-racial.…
Wonderful people, and a lovely cosy house. Room was upgraded to the family room for free as it was a quiet season. Bedroom was fresh and bright with an amazing mountain view and a chic bathroom. Also had a private little balcony to have tea on in the morning
What a fabulous weekend. On arrival we were upgraded to a double room with on suit bathroom as their was space available, and what a lovely room it was. Light, clean, ocean themed room overlooking the garden and pool. The backpackers had a laid back, homely atmosphere with all we needed for our stay. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful and provided us with a town map as well as local activity recommendations. Just a short walk to town, nearby restaurants and the sea. So safe and accessible. Not to mention, free parking! We'll definitely be back again! 10/10 if you're looking for an affordable, comfortable, central, relaxed stay in Hermanus!!!
We had a fantastic time at the backpackers. Jacqueline, the manager, is doing fantastic and has so much information on what to do around Hermanus and just an amazing lady. I would definitely recommend the backpackers for your stay in Hermanus!
Well run, clean and just what you want from a decent backpackers and they always go the extra mile. Just relax, follow the house rules and enjoy... (Now what do I write for another 144 words? Oh what almost...) 😋
Out of the many countries and plenty backpackers I’ve stayed at I can say with confidence that hermanus backpackers is definitely the most homie, clean, well located, friendliest staff I’ve came across. Me and my girlfriend had the most amazing stay in room J. Will definitely return for a great experience. Thank you Haley, Braam and Angelique for making us feel so welcome🙏
