About the Property

Four Wings, One Harbour, Whale Watching Included

Harbour House Hotel occupies 22 Harbour Road, in the heart of Hermanus's Old Harbour, and spans four distinct wings rather than one uniform room type. The Manor House keeps its millstone floors, cast baths and Juliet balconies looking out to sea; the New Wing and Harbour Square add air-conditioned studios and residences with kitchenettes or full kitchens; and Le Paradis, the hotel's self-catering arm, offers four two-bedroom duplex apartments with private braai areas and ocean views — some with wood-fired hot tubs.

Across all four, guests share an infinity pool over Walker Bay, a dedicated Lookout Terrace for whale watching, Selkirk's Restaurant for breakfast and lunch, and the on-site Mint Wellness Salon.

Hospitality shows up repeatedly in guest feedback: one American guest describes being "very warmly greeted with welcome drinks," with the property's wood-fired hot tub as "a calming reprieve," while an Australian guest praises staff who "were very attentive and always had a smile on their face." The hotel is pet-friendly and runs a public live webcam of the harbour view.

Harbour House Hotel holds an 8.7 out of 10 rating on Booking.com from 1,121 reviews — among the most-reviewed stays in Hermanus — with location scored 9.6 and comfort 9.3.

✓ 8.7/10 on Booking.com from 1,121 reviews, with a 9.6 location score ✓ Four wings — Manor House, New Wing, Harbour Square and self-catering Le Paradis — including apartments with wood-fired hot tubs ✓ Dedicated whale-watching Lookout Terrace, infinity pool over Walker Bay and Selkirk's Restaurant on site
