La Gratitude Villa

Brilliant view. Great rooms. Absolutely great service. Internet bit slow but it helps to enjoy the nature

La Gratitude provided us with simply one the best most memorable holidays we ever had. We had just got married in the UK and decided to have a honeymoon shared with friends and family and booked La Gratitude for a week. The house accommodated us all comfortably and was filled with all the character and charm we could have wished for (thanks to a wonderful Herbert Baker design). It was spotless, comfortable and it's location within walking distance to Hermanus's best beaches was fantastic. The main highlight was Iris the host/housekeeper/hero! Her calm and welcoming attitude ensured that our holiday was relaxing and filled with joy. Simon was wonderful to deal with and we're already planning our next trip back. 5 stars and more!

Our stay at La Gratitude was perfection! The wonderful memories of 26 years ago just came flooding back and of course, new memories added. The added pool, jacuzzi and outdoor grill made it even more enjoyable. The views are absolutely gorgeous and we saw a whale or two as well. The indoor fireplaces created a warm and cosy atmosphere. The games and books available makes it fun for the whole family. My son's 21st birthday will always be remembered at La Gratitude. Nozi's presence was a bonus indeed, such a lovely lady. Many thanks to Dr Pickstone-Taylor for everything, much appreciated.

Literally one of the best weekends of my life! The most beautiful honest stylish home with the best views. Everything was picture perfect and a dream come true! I can not wait to go back. Simon and he’s house brought so much joy and good memories to so many people! Can not thank him enough! The house is quality and cozy and the best location! Loved every single thing about it!!!!!!!

We spent a glorious long weekend at La Gratitude in Hermanus. The stunning location must be the best in Hermanus. The villa is perched on the cliffs overlooking Grotto beach with private beach access and not a neighbour in sight. The Herbert Baker designed family home is a great mixture of old world charm and modern luxury. Simon was the perfect host facilitating easy access and promptly dealing with any minor queries. I can highly recommend staying there - we will certainly be returning.

We had a great stay with our family of nine at La Gratitude. The sea view from the stoep and pool area are phenomenal. The hot tub is excellent to warm you up after a swim in the not-so-warm Indian Ocean in October. We will be back.

Probably the most beautiful house which you can find in Hermanus, set on the last dune in front of a stunning beach. From the house and pool deck uninterrupted views over the ocean. The villa is large and well equipped with luxury elements. Bedding is great and the whole stay was very comfortable, even with cold nights in winter. Great for the three nights we stayed, but could have easily stayed there three months... We look forward booking the villa soon again!
