    The floor needs a little attention, but the owners are planning a refurbishment over the winter, so this will be rectified.

    Owners were lovely, exceptionally friendly. Breakfast was fabulous, fresh fruits, homemade breads and perfect portion sizes. My daughter loved the homemade pancakes. The rooms were fresh and clean, our deluxe suite was gorgeous. Well equipped.

    Everything was exceptional.

    It was one of the best B&B's we stayed in. The rooms tastefully decorated, clean, well maintained, spacious with attention to detail. A superb breakfast. The hosts went the extra mile to make our stay one to remember.

    Regretted that I had only booked a couple of nights.

    The Potting Shed proved an excellent stay in a very convenient location. A very warm welcome from Dave and AnnaMarie set the tone for the visit. Their suggestions were spot on and valued. The Studio (6) was roomy and spotlessly clean with a lovey comfortable veranda and view to the mountain behind the town. The Potting Shed is within easy walking distance of the Cliff Walk and the old harbour. There are plenty of places to eat in the town and one or two small interesting museums. The cliff walk is a must. There is a useful suggestions folder in the room. Hope to return to The Potting Shed in whale watching season. Diolch yn fawr Dave & AnnaMarie.

    The Potting Shed Guesthouse truly stands out for its warmth and charm. Even during a brief one-night stay, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable, with a special thanks to Doreen for her warm welcome and unparalleled kindness. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a cozy and inviting home away from home!

    Nothing it was a fabulous find. We did find that on a Saturday the good restuarants were mostly fully booked so do pre book your evening meal, don't wing it like we did.

    The breakfast was exceptional the best we have had throughout our stay. The variety of homemade goods at the table was delightful. Dave & Annamarie were perfect hosts, knowledgeable & passionate about the area. They provided us with great tips on restuarants and insight on things to do in and around Hermanus. Annamarie even provided me with her recipie for her delicious lemond curd that she serves with her breakfast pancakes. The room was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep.

    I would have liked a coffee maker in our room with fresh coffee/pods. Another couple of loungers and umbrella by the pool would be good.

    Good, cooked breakfast. Pool was clean and refreshing. Room very pleasant and comfy. Nice big bathroom and walk in shower.
