About La Fontaine Guest House
La Fontaine is a deluxe guest retreat perfect for a rejuvenating break, a golf vacation with a choice of courses, a perfect romantic getaway or a whale viewing holiday in South Africa.
At the southernmost tip of Africa, perched on the edge of the majestic Atlantic Ocean, you will find a guest house that is very aptly named - La Fontaine embodies the symbolism of the fountain. It is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate the body, mind, and soul.
Accommodation
Decorated in elegant colonial style, the stylish bedrooms offer shared satellite TV, hairdryers, heated towel rails, minibars and tea and coffee-making facilities. The bedrooms upstairs have private balconies, which overlook the sea, and the other bedrooms are either mountain-facing or have tranquil garden views.
Please see the individual room descriptions and photographs below, to assist you with your choice.
Facilities
Weather permitting, breakfast is served on the patio with views across the bay, or in the privacy of your room. We have a cosy lounge with a fireplace in which to curl up and relax with a good book. Take a dip in the sparkling pool, stroll the famous 15km long cliff path, or walk to the village shops, galleries, and restaurants.
We offer WiFi access, secure parking, and reservation assistance for the many available activities or restaurants.
At La Fontaine, you will find yourself immersed in comfortable luxury and surrounded by the uplifting sights and sounds of waves and Southern Right whales in season. Hermanus is the best land-based whale-watching spot in the world – and La Fontaine has pride of place.

Excellent location within walking distance of most restaurants and the beach walking route. Beautiful establishment, fine attention to detail!

Verified review
A wonderful guest house, very personal with family-like owners and staff. We stayed two nights and even thought about staying longer, but La Fontaine was already fully booked. The rooms as well as patio and living room are incredibly comfortable with an inviting Victorian furniture and very high attention to detail. The incredible highlight of our stay was when we watched whales right from the patio enjoying a delightful breakfast. We would always come back again and can truly recommend the place.
