The Thatch House Hermanus

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is stunning and very peaceful. The staff especially Rory were all very helpful . We normally like to eat out in restaurants but the food here was so good we ate here twice during our three night stay. Drinks in the lounge before dinner were so relaxing and we were never rushed to sit down for dinner. Some of the rooms overlooked the lagoon but we had a mountain view which was picturesque with comfortable lounge chairs on the patio to take in the view . We have rebooked for next year but increased our stay to five nights .

The Thatch House Boutique Hotel is hands down among the top 10 hotels we have ever stayed at. We love the location—quiet and close to the water. The rooms are wonderful. The quality of the hardware is fantastic. Everything is very well maintained. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and very customer-oriented. The food was almost too good, so we certainly added some kilos to our waistlines. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to be back!

We were in Hermanus for three days at the beginning of March and had an incredibly lovely stay at The Thatch House. We really liked not only the unique location on the lagoon and the peace and quiet that comes with it, but above all the warm welcome and caring service from all team members. It was more like visiting friends than staying in a hotel. Many thanks to Lynn and Rory and all the others for their efforts. The small number of rooms and the attention and care of the individual team members made the visit to The Thatch House an unforgettable experience. The variety of drinks and the quality of the food were great. We will definitely visit The Thatch House again when we are back in the Hermanus area.

Das Restaurant ist hinsichtlich des Interieus als sehr geschmackvoll zu bezeichnen. Mehr positive Seiten fallen mir aber -leider- dazu nicht ein. Wollte mir die abgedroschene Methapher: ＞Was macht der Koch des Thatch Houses beruflich? Die Küche schließt gleich.

In a very beautiful and tranquil location lies Thatch House offering very spacious and beautifully decorated suites. We had reserved to suites Fern and Lagoon, and let our kids have the largest and fantastically luxurious Lagoon Suite. The Fern Suite was still very large and nice and while it didn't have the sea view of the Lagoon, it had a nice outdoor area with views of the impressive mountains. The hotel is made to feel more like a private house where you are a guest, and we especially appreciated that we never had to sign any bills when having dinner or ordering something from a bar. They also have a nice "honesty bar" which we never had time to try. Food was really good although not spectacular. I don't think we were more than 15 guests, 3-4 families, which helped making this feel much more homely than a regular hotel. The staff is very friendly and professional, and you get the feeling that they have fun together, which is always a sign of great places to stay. The place is a bit isolated so either having a rental car - like we did - or using taxis is a must if you want to try some other nearby places to eat or visit nearby vineyards. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here, especially for those longing for peace and quiet in a beautiful surrounding.

This place is far beyond expectations. We have rarely been to such a calm and relaxed place. Although the house has just a few rooms (I should better say suites.) it offers lunch and dinner besides a wonderful breakfast. Stunning sunsets make the mountain behind the property glowing like gold. There is a pool, one can swim in the lagoon and for tennis and golf enthusiasts there is a tennis court and a putting green. Service is outstanding. One can feel that the team love what they do. That starts with every single waiter, the management team and it does not end with the guard at the gate or the night shift. We felt all the time welcome and perfectly shepherded. Thanks so much again. We will come back.
