Enjoyed our stay. Ute made us feel very welcome and is very pleasant and helpful. Room was very clean and the beds very comfortable. Lovely bathroom with large fluffy bath towels. The guest house is immaculate throughout. Breakfasts were yummy and there was a good selection to suit all palates.

Thank you for your review of 2017! After being closed for two and a half years, Villa Venusta is open again under new ownership and management. We hope to see you back sometime. Please see our website for the upgrades we have made to the property , and the rooms, all now with new King Size beds. Things have just got better!
Best Regards and all the best for 2023. Marcelle and Andrew

Ute is a wonderful host and her property was lovely. Breakfast was delicious and so nicely done. The room was the last one available and not large but beautifully completed with a big gorgeous bathroom. Outside patio was lovely as well. The property is not in the center of town so you need a car or to take taxi's but it is only a 5 minute drive at most to the center. Ute also made recommendations on bookings for wine tours and whale watching and all were excellent. We were very happy.

Stayed at Villa Venusta for 7 nights to attend a wedding in Hermanus toward to end of our stay. What a good choice. The guesthouse is in a quiet area but only a 20 minute walk along a beautiful coastal path to the centre of Hermanus which has a varied choice of restaurants with the added attraction of seeing whales.
On arrival, we were greeted by the owner Ute who was so welcoming that we knew we were going to have a great time. The room was beautiful, big comfortable bed, bathroom with bath and walk in shower. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order by Ute and cooked with love.
Outside area with swimming pool, hot tub, sunloungers and Brai area.
Felt like we were in a 5 star hotel.
Would highly recommend.

Room tip: Lovely coastal walk to Hermanus.

Dear Liz and Steve,
thank you very much for your very positive review. We are glad to know, that you have enjoyed your stay with us. And, indeed, Hermanus is a beautiful place, where one can discover a lot. It is always a great pleasure to have guests like you which stay longer than only one night and find the time to enjoy what our guest house is offering. Having the opportunity to chat a little bit during serving breakfast was very much appreciated. And on two days you have been very lucky with the wheater at this time of the year and could already use the sunloungers. The time with you was flying and I hope to see you again...
Best regards - Ute

I stayed here for 4 nights and I was very satisfied. Nice and very clean rooms, spacy bathroom, with both shower and tube. The house is newly renovated and the owners Ute and her husband are very nice with great hospitality. Breakfast is freshly done by Ute (fried or scrambled eggs). There is very nice sitting area on the second floor. And the house is within short walking distacne from the clifwalk and some 10 minutes walk from the city center.
