Hermanus is just a dream to live, and work in! We are so fortunate to share this experience with our guests. Sixteen Guesthouse on Main is owner run and the small staff are well experienced.
I am a former teacher, but love owning and running my guest house so much more. After 16 years, it still delivers a surprise every day. I am quite a control freak and like everything to be perfect.
We are centrally located in Main road, about 1 km from town centre. Right in the middle of all the wonderful attractions our area offers. Walk to town or 400 m to jump onto our famous cliff path to breathe in some champagne air and be stunned by one of the most beautiful coast lines in the world. Not even mentioning spotting whales in the bay in season.
