The weekend there was perfect. We love the apartment.
The place is perfect for 4 people and has everything you need. You can see and hear the sea and just feel peaceful. The WiFi and inverter were a big plus. The apartment is in a security complex and everything is very neat and you will feel safe. Thank you, Dave and Annemarie.

Our website has a description of area and explains we are 3kms from town in a security complex and close to the Abagold Conservation farms. If you click on the Google pin drip & enlarge the area, it's very clear where our property is and the location.

We had a nice stay, but the location of the unit is not desirable.
The unit and complex are quite average and meet the requirement, but access to the complex is through a somewhat industrial area and between the abalone factories. The location is less than desirable.

The Potting Shed Self-catering 's response
Hi Craig, yes it was a pity there was no electricity. It wasn't just at the apartment that had a power outage but in the entire town for more than 30 hours due to a major fire in Hermanus and the Overberg. Fortunately, we only lost power, even if it was for over a day. Some people lost their homes, businesses and even their lives. Some things are just out of The Potting Shed control.

Apartment was clean and tidy, but is far from Hermanus' eating places and events. According to the owner, the footpath is also not safe to walk on. Furthermore, resort was very clean and quiet.
The Potting Shed didn't want us to stay in the apartment at first when they found out we were 4 adults and one baby. We were expected to cancel because we didn't mention we had a baby. There is no place on the website to indicate that we are traveling with a baby. The problem was sorted out with Annemarie from Potting Shed. The apartment is very clean and tidy, but the location is poor. It's next to the harbor and safety outside the resort is a problem. We were told not to walk on the paths by the sea. Everything in the apartment was up to standard, except the shower which makes terrible noise when you use it and also the pots are in very bad condition.

The accommodation is in a beautiful setting and one can hear the sea from the unit. Complex is very safe and tidy.
I was surprised with the value for money. Potting Shed is beautifully furnished and up to standard. However, I would suggest looking into the possibility of fans or air cooling. The fridge in unit 23 was also not in good working order. Otherwise everything was great. Excellent service too.

Rina K - Jul 2017

Our stay was pleasant. The surrounding area is a bit dodgy, but the location on the rocks made up for that.
The Potting Shed Self-catering 's response
We are sorry to hear that you thought the area was unsafe Rina. The surrounding area that is close by is the Abagold farm, a conservation centre for endangered perlemoen that is being poached from the sea. The apartments are part of a complex with 24-hour security which is quite a common thing in South Africa, therefore an extremely safe place to stay. I'm glad you would still recommend our place to others. The view from the rocks and sound of the sea is amazing. We investigated the TV reception and have had a new decoder installed today.
Hope to see you another time,
Annamarie

Our journey took 17 hours and we were very tired. We had to travel through the night due to our working hours. Therefore we arrived much earlier and had to spend another 4 hours in our car. It was really uncomfortable.

Sorry you were so tired after your long journey, but when you made the reservation you were notified that our check in time is from 2.00pm. You arrived at 9.00am and guests had not even checked out. The apartments need time to be cleaned when guests have departed - hence the 2.00pm check in time. Check out time is 10.30. Guests were still in the apartment when you arrived.

The Potting Shed Self-catering 's response
Hello Elzette,
I'm sorry you felt the kitchen needs to be upgraded. Eighteen months ago we put a new kitchen in. I'm not understanding why you think it needs updating. The curtains are purely for decoration/interior design purpose. We have fitted blinds in all rooms, intended for blocking light and privacy. Perhaps if you email me direct we can discuss the matter in more details.
Kind regards,
Annamarie & Dave
