The Potting Shed Guest House

A lovely warm greeting from the house-keeper Doreen when we arrived plus the offer of a very welcome iced tea after a long drive set the tone for our visit. The Potting Shed is a very personable place to stay and a reflection of the personalities of the owners Annamarie and Dave. Our room, bathroom and pretty private outside courtyard were of the highest standard with a really comfortable bed and pillows and crisp fresh linen. The sizeable bathroom was well stocked with shampoo and soap and had a great shower - although we were aware of how precious water was here in SA so used the shower with care. Breakfast was varied, generous and tasty - hot and cold choices - and cooked fresh to our liking. Nothing seemed too much trouble for our hosts and their friendly and engaging staff. Lovely touches were filtered bottled water in our room and a choice of homemade infused water at breakfast. Bread was baked daily for the breakfast table - nice one! A 20 minute or so walk got you into Hermanus town during the day where there were so many places to eat and drink and shop. A cab back at night is advised but the area is very safe to walk around. We enjoyed Fusion down on the waterfront for food and drinks - very friendly. The chatty manager even organised a cab back for us. A morning walk along the new(wish) coastal path is a must. And if you do walk it you must stop for lunch at Dutchies beach bar and restaurant. Great setting and equally great food and drinks offering. You can join this path only a few minutes from the Potting Shed or in town. Doreen will tell you how to get there! Happy to recommend this homely, family guesthouse.

There was nothing here to disappoint!

Nothing

What a beautiful guesthouse! We had a very comfortable two night stay here, the hosts Annamarie and Dave are very passionate about their business and it shows with the attention to details. The hospitality and breakfast was 10/10. The guesthouse is a short walk to the coast, and the lovely town. We hope to return again! Thank you.

Super spacious and clean and amazing bed, staff is friendly en warm and welcoming

That I could not stay forever
