Great location
We spent 1 day on our way to Cape Town. The property has a great location and the best is the attention to detail of the host. Everything was nice organised and breakfast was top quality.
Thanks!

Excellent B&B close to town.
The property is close to the cliff path so you can walk to either the Old or New Harbour for drinks and dinner. Very convenient.

We only spent one night at the hotel as we were passing through Hermanus.
The owners were keen golfers and there was a lot of golfing memorabilia around the hotel.
The accommodation was comfortable and the breakfast was good.

Really nice guest house with excellent facilities
This is one of the nicest guest houses I have stayed in recently. The facilities are extremely good and the owner is most welcoming. If you are a golfing person you will enjoy this golf themed place. Excellent breakfast and good value for money

A must if in Hermanus
Villa Vanuatu is a lovely well kept property. The owner has thought of everything when it comes to making your stay complete. There is a lovely walk from here along the coastal path.

Lovely guesthouse with fantastic owner
Lovely rooms!
Nice breakfast.
Lots of nice outside spaces and lounge areas to relax in.
A little bit set back from the beach and a drive from restaurants, but in a nice neighbourhood.

Excellent accommodation; tastefully decorated;
We chose this accommodation based on other reviews and we were not disappointed. If you want beach front accommodation this is not the place to choose however it is just a couple of minutes walk from the coastal track and a short walk to downtown Hermanus. If you want top service, a fantastic hostess who makes you feel absolutely at ease from the moment you arrive, a room that wants for absolutely nothing and that offers quality furnishings with plenty of space and is tastefully decorated, and on top of that a venue that offers a very good breakfast, then Villa Venusta is an ideal choice. The site security is excellent with off street parking secured by electronic gates. Promoted as a golfers choice, we are not golfers and it mattered not one little bit.

Lovely relaxing place to stay.
Had a lovely stay. Ute was helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were delicious. We had a downstairs room though so no views, although a little patio off the room. (Not hot enough to use the air con!)

Die Liebe zum Detail
Wir waren für eine Nacht bei Ute in der Villa Venusta. Von Anfang an haben wir uns Willkommen gefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und sauber gehalten. Die Zimmer sind sehr hübsch eingerichtet. Es duftet sehr frisch im Zimmer. Toilettenartikel findet man ebenfalls im Badezimmer vor. Am Abend sind wir ins Zentrum von Hermanus gelaufen. Der tolle Weg führt über den Felsenweg, er ist an der Küste entlang angelegt und man ist in ca. 15min. im Zentrum von Hermanus.
Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Man findet alles was das Herz begehrt. Sogar warme Speisen werden von der Gastgeberin auf wunsch zubereitet.
Diese Unterkunft werden wir sehr gerne weiterempfehlen. Wer hier Bucht macht definitiv nichts falsch.
Herzlichen Dank nochmal liebe Ute.

Ankommen uns sich sofort wohl fühlen
Wir waren zum zweiten Mal in Süd Afrika und auch zum zweiten Mal in Hermanus.
Villa Venusta ist ein persönlich und sehr liebevoll geführtes Haus, in dem wir uns ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt haben. Hier könnten wir wunderbar in unseren Urlaub einsteigen. Unsere Gastgeberinhat uns jeden Morgen mit einen tollen Frühstück verwöhnt. Alles frisch zubereitet und liebevoll präsentiert.
Für uns ist Hermanus ein Ort mit einem besonderen Zauber. Den Walen so nah zu sein ist ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis.
Von der Unterkunft kann man auf dem Cliff Path gemütlich in den Ort laufen. Die wunderschönsten Ausblicke und die Wale begleiten einem auf den Weg dorthin. Man muss natürlich in der Zeit vor Ort sein, in der sich auch die Wale mit ihren Jungtieren dort aufhalten.
Also, Villa Venusta - eine Unterkunft, die nur weiterzuempfehlen ist. Danke Ute

UN GROS BÉMOL cependant concernant les relations avec l’hote, madame hute était très brut de décoffrage sur plusieurs aspects!!
Malgré le côté très agréable de la demeure, je ne me suis PAS sentie à mon aise

Entlang der Garden-Route ...
Jeder Golf-Liebhaber wird das Guesthouse "Villa Venusta" der Gastgeber Ute und Thomas lieben, alle anderen aber auch ! Der Empfang und der Umgang mit den Gästen ist überaus herzlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Wir waren von dem Haus, seinen Annehmlichkeiten und unserem Zimmer sehr begeistert. Ute steht mit Rat und Tat zum Thema Besuch in Hermanus und Umgebung zur Seite und hat den einen oder anderen "Geheimtipp" auf Lager :)
Zusammenfassend.....wenn wir wieder in der Nähe sind, werden wir hier absteigen !!
Danke Ute und Thomas !

TRES AGREABLE SEJOUR
Très bon accueil Belle chambre bien décorée (n°6). Terrasse privative.
La douche à l'italienne est mal disposée car l'eau se projette un peu partout par manque de vitre.
Le petit-déjeuner est excellent et très varié.
