The Potting Shed Accommodation - Guest House

We stayed for 2 nights in this very very lovely and charming room upstairs with a private terasse. Everything was super clean, the hosts Annemarie & Dave very helpful and welcoming. They also gave us some nice tips what to do and where to go. The center of the town is close, you can easily walk there during the day. We had wonderful home-cooked breakfasts with lots of variety for a perfect start into the day. Absolutely nothing to complain about! If we ever come back to Hermanozs, that's where we are going to stay. Thanks for this excellent experience and start into tge new year :)!

We had a wonderful stay at The Potting Shed. The muffins are absolutely amazing, and Dave and Annmarie are such lovely, welcoming hosts — you truly feel at home from the moment you arrive. The breakfast was one of the best we had during our time along the South African coastline, made with so much care and love. We would absolutely love to come back. Wishing Dave and Annmarie a very happy New 2026, and many more years of blessing guests with their passion, warmth, and genuine hospitality. Keeping you in our memories, Edu & Clau

There has been so much love and thought poured into this little guest house from the owners. It’s in the perfect spot with a minutes walk to the beach and coast path and town. Safe and walkable to everything. Super friendly hosts and really helpful, went above and beyond to make our stay a good one. Breakfast really lovely. Highly recommended.

We had looked forward to staying at the potting shed guest house, in hermanus. For quite some time. We had booked the studio room with own private enterance and balcony. It was better than the photos . Super comy bed . Great pillow selection. Flat screen tv with dstv etc. The bathroom , with bath and shower. Not like other places , where you onky get a shower. |The guest house is very well situated with a 5 minuete walk to the famous cliff path. And close to restarunts and shops. |The breakfast at the potting shed wont dissapoint choices of pancakes or full english , ceral and cakes . Choice of english tea etc and coffees. |The pool is so inviting this time of year to cool down. Its salt water so no chemicals like you get in other pools.|The parking is no problem as the bays are clearly marked so as long as everyone parks withing the white lines , you can all park the cars.|Lastly |Annmarie and dave , absolute super stars. Beautiful genuine caring people . They really hope you have a suoer time not just at the guest house , but in hermanus and south africa. |And not forgetting the staff , they are all a credit to thereselves and family not just the guest house. As everything is perfect.|Oh and having the eagle owl in our tree everyday was the icing on the cake.

Annamarie and Dave were perfect hosts from even before checking in! They were super helpful in recommending places for us to visit after our trip had been cancelled. Was lovely to fly hundreds of miles across the world and also be greeted by the humble Essex accent 😉 the pancakes, as in other reviews really are the best and was the best nights sleep I’ve had all trip! We were very well looked after indeed. Thank you once again for having us.

A lovely place to stay in beautiful Hermanus! Warm, lovely hosts with great local suggestions and homemade cookies as a welcome on the bed. Quiet neighborhood with easy walk to restaurants. Comfortable room and delicious breakfast with fresh fruit, home baked goodies, home made jam and marmalade…good coffee. A terrific choice!

We had a lovely one-night stay with David & Annamarie in Hermanus. They gave us a lot of handy tips to explore the region, and helped us with diner reservations, the rooms are beautifully decorated, spatious and clean. For breakfast we had very tasteful pancakes! Definitely recommend!

We booked the upstairs suite with outdoor private terrace and were very happy. The bathroom is huge with a full size tub and shower and the bed is very comfortable A short stroll takes you to the town centre and the cliff walk but you need to drive to the best beach
