We recently stayed at The Potting Shed and had a fantastic experience. The room was large and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. The service was exceptionally friendly, with the owners going out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The breakfast pancakes were also a big hit! The accommodation offers great value for money, and we highly recommend for anyone visiting Hermanus!

A good stay in a reasonably good location. The room is adequate and the shower good, spacious. Breakfast was excellent. Secure parking is welcome but is a squeezed for larger vehicles. Doreen was a breath of fresh air, welcoming and amusing.

Cozy spot within walking distance of the Cliff Walk and the Old Harbour. The room was spacious and comfy with a gloriously huge shower and a private patio. Owners Anna Marie and Dave are a delight and served us a delicious breakfast. We wish we had been able to stay longer.

Super Haus

Das Frühstück war super lecker.Es gab frisches Obst, frischen Saft, Pfannkuchen oder Hühnereier mit Speck. Alles war ganz frisch und super lecker und es gab selbst gebackenes Brot dabei. Die Leute im House sind alle freundlich und bei der Planung unserer Aktivitäten sehr hilfreich mit guten Tips.
