Amazing stay and amazing views of the ocean from the rooms. You get uninterrupted views of the whales right from the balcony. To add to this they with a very good breakfast. Walking distance from restaurants and the centre of the town.

Scenic drive from Cape Town to Hermanus was just wonderful. Natasha and Arlene we’re excellent host, when visiting this lovely welcoming guest house. We had room 1 which was just perfect for our 2 night stay. La Fontaine is in a perfect position, the views are just wonderful. The Cliff walks are exceptional. We saw whales at virtually every stopping point. We came across a bar in amongst the rocks “Ficks” to cold to use their mermaid pool! Great views, drinks and what seemed a good menu. Very friendly we stayed a while, Whale watching ! Only one disappointment our whale boat trip was cancelled due to weather. Natasha and Arlene tried numerous other companies in other areas, unfortunately the weather prevented all trips. On their kind recommendation we drove to the areas where the boats did leave. Shark boats and cages most interesting !! We were fortunate to see more whales off shore, and many Cormorant. Natasha/Arlene recommended local restaurant’s, always on hand for advice, our only error was that, we should have stayed longer. We feel 3-4 days. A visit to Hermanus and staying at La Fontaine, provide an excellent breakfast, coffee/tea making facilities, honest bar in the room. Although slightly dated, the guest house is very comfortable with lovely touches, you will not be disappointed.

A very helpful and charming host. Staff always very helpful. Room was large as was the bathroom. Situation of guest house and the view couldn’t be better placed. Very reasonably priced and a plentiful breakfast. I recommend this property if you visit Hermanus

We enjoyed our stay at the La Fontaine Guest House. Friendly and helpfull staff. Great view at breakfast! The harbour is nearby. We made a tremendous boattrip with Souternright charters from Hermanus to see the Whales.

The Guest House is especially comfortable and is located overlooking the sea with its own pool. A short walk to restaurants and shops, The host is extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the area and goes out of her way to make one feel welcome. Breakfast is enjoyed on the glassed veranda with a magnificent view of the bay. Highly recommended. My 3rd stay.

The hotel is absolutely stunning. Every detail had been considered and we felt very at home. The hotel over looks the sea. I could have sat and watched the waves all day. A 10min stroll along the coast line to town. Breakfast was delicious. Thank you Natasha for a perfect stay, you are a wonderful host and it was a pleasure to meet you.

Fantastic guesthouse with phenomenal views, excellent service and lovely added extras! Myself and my 14 year old son stayed for a few days during our trip across the cape. Natasha and her staff were exceptional from helping us sort trips to advice about the cape, restaurants and general chat about the area. The food was amazing. We stayed in the family room which was perfect for us.

We had a fantastic experience at la Fontaine in august of this year. We had the family suite which was clean, comfortable and ideal for us and our 2 children. Natasha and the staff were friendly and welcoming . Due to the weather our plans had gone awry but Natasha gave some excellent suggestions for places to go and make bookings for us. Breakfast at la Fontaine is an experience in itself- the food and choice is amazing with the most beautiful views of the coast and we saw whales . The location is excellent and only a short walk to nearby restaurants and across the road from the hermanus cliff path. Highly recommend
