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!

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.

Nice / clean place but lacking atmosphere
Room is clean / confortable and only a short drive from the city center (less than 5 minutes by car). However, this place lacks atmosphere and rules for check-in times are too strict...
