Guest Reviews

• Christine (9/5): Well appointed accommodation, walking distance to town and restaurants, great accommodation - We loved the space, pretty gardens, secure parking, very big bed and huge walk in shower Nothing it was excellent
• Merissa (7/5): Enjoyed our stay, just a bit disappointed with the cleanliness. - The welcome was warm and friendly. Spacious rooms, very close and in walking distance to main road and waterfront area. Friendly staff and owners. Had everything we needed, including an outside patio and braai. Beautiful garden and enjoyed the pool. We felt safe and car parking was inside and gave us peace of mind. Dogs was so friendly too, welcomed us and said goodbye when we left. I will say we will be back. I am sorry to say but was not the cleanest. Dusty and couches were not comfortable, seemed warn and was itching when sat on the couch close to window in lounge. Plates were not cleaned properly, I actually cleaned everything before we used it. Pool was lovely but pool pump not working so not cleaning leaves as best but I must say pool water was sparkling clean just the leaves and sand was not going anywhere...
• Viljoen (8/5): -
• ROY (8/5): -
• Shirley (10/5): Home from home. - Friendly owners who met us on arrival rather than an impersonal lock box. Clean apartment. Friendly lab came round to say hello in the morning. Nothing
• Anja (8/5): - Sehr nette Atmosphäre und sehr zuvorkommender Service, zwei tolle Hunde..wir haben prima geschlafen.
• Alpa (9/5): -
• koos (8/5): Prima Lokatie, lekker zwembadje, goed internet. Vriendelijke mensen - Lokatie -
• Zaza (9/5): - This was a great place to stay - a short walk to the restaurants at the seafront. Also very accessible to the Cliff top walk. The accommodation was spacious with a good kitchen and a nice under cover outdoor sitting area. I would definitely recommend this place.
• Wayne (10/5): -
• Segolie (9/5): -
• Louis (9/5): Private and quiet. Walking distance from everything. Hosts friendly and helpful. - Very quiet with patio and braai. Daily cleaning service. Access to large, beautiful pool and pool area. Walking distance from shopping centre and a lot of restaurants. Safe, inside parking. The daily visits from the dogs and (especially) the cat ;-)
• Michael (9/5): Take you own 3 pin plug - Quiet good position None
• A n d e r s (7/5): - Trevligt sov-/vardagsrum med mysiga sköna fåtöljer, nära till centrum och den fantastiska kustpromenaden Lite mörk uteplats och inte så inbjudande pool
• Phillips (10/5): Very pleasant accommodation - Friendly dogs TV reception
• Paul (8/5): Ruim appartement en comfortabel -
• Mel (10/5): Quiet relaxing haven close to town. - The Brown Jug is how I imagine an old Afrikaans homestead would look like. Dark furniture, super comfortable reclining chairs with footrests. Beautiful courtyard filled with colourful flowers and two great big friendly dogs roaming around. The pool was an added bonus. It is close to the centre of Hermanus so an easy walk to buy groceries and stroll along the 'biodiversity walkway'. No cold water in the kitchen.
• michelle (8/5): -
• Lars (8/5): Top - Gigantische ruimte als ruimte met een zwembad om de hoek. Slaapkamer is apart van de keuken en woonkamer. Lieve vrouw die ons ontving bij aankomst. In de badkamer waren allemaal luxe zeepjes te vinden. De douche kan koud worden na bepaalde tijden, dus als je hier geen rekening mee houdt kan je dit tegenvallen. Ons bed leek ook wel iets doorgezakt
• Arild (10/5): - As described. Host is super friendly and nice
• Frances (8/5): -
• Frances (8/5): -
• Luisa und André (10/5): Eine sehr hübsche Unterkunft in einem sehr hübschen Ort. Ideal zum Whale Watching in Hermanus. - Sehr geschmacksvoll eingerichtet. Ein Teil des Hauses der Besitzer, also kein "Hotelkomplex". Nicht weit vom berühmten "Wal-Strand" entfernt Zwei nette, hübsche Hunde und eine Katze empfingen uns freundlich! -
• Steff (9/5): Einfache Unterkunft - Einfache Unterkunft, zu Fuss ist die Mall und das Meer erreichbar.
• Penelope (10/5): - Perfect location Central but quiet
• Frank (7/5): Für den Preis ok - Das Preis-Leistungverhältnis ist gut Die Einrichtung hat ihre beste Zeit schon länger hinter sich gelassen, es hat muffig gerochen. Die Waschmaschine hat nicht sauber gewaschen (grundsätzlich nur Kurzwaschprogamm mit kalten Wasser)
• Phillip (9/5): Superb -
• Kobie (10/5): Excellent, except for the above. - We feel that the property's garden needs attention. As you enter from the parking bay, the first impression is of a neglected garden, with green water that was supposed to be a water feature.
• Phillip (10/5): Ideally situated, very comfortable, felt like a real home. - The location is so close to town and all amenities. Lovely to have the cat and the dog pay the occasional visit - makes it feel like home. Lighting is a little too subdued for reading, but with the floor lamp it was fine.
• Gene (10/5): Excellent value for money & friendly Hosts -
• Paul (8/5): Comfortable stay in great location run by lovely owners. - Lovely stay with friendly owners who were able to offer us accommodation after we were let down by a property owner in Betty’s Bay. Thank you!
• Dennis (7/5): We were comfortable and the location is very good. - Whilst this property is comfortable and clean, we found the decor to be rather lost in the 70’s, which made it feel a little dark and drab. We were only told by the owners the evening before we left, that Eskom would be switching off all power in Hermanus the next morning at 6.00 am until 18.00 - with such a significant and lengthy maintenance power out, the residents of Hermanus were surely given notice of this a few days before? It was quite annoying to be told so late. We were given a hot pot/thermos to use for hot water - it was unusable as it was either dirty or rusted inside. The lady who checked us in was lovely.
• Mona (9/5): Nice people, dogs and cat, we enjoyed our stay. -
• Neil (8/5): Acceptable for a single night stopover, although disappointed that breakfast not available. - Very large room with kitchenette. Secure parking. This was a repeat visit from several years ago Room only - no breakfast (as there was in previous visit) Metal security gate across the doorway to the room was very difficult to lock and unlock
• Jessica (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, comfortable, friendly hosts. Overall great experience.
• Carlo (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely stunning place, comfortable, peace and relaxation.
• Chiredzero (10/5): Exceptional - The ambience was excellent, very cheerful hosts
• Ryan (8/5): Easy, value for money and centrally located - Location, hospitality, the pool, braai facilities and the friendly visits from the pets. It’s good for a summer holiday. Nothing really
• Mathias (10/5): Exceptional - Nice room, comfortable bed. Nice space and friendly welcome. Wonderful dogs. Dis not try the pool, but it looked lovely. Easy access and close to city center, but of course you need to stay safe after dark and use transportation. Great thing that you can always sit down in the sofas after dinner and enjoy a glass.
• Karen (10/5): Home from home! - Spacious, well equipped, convenient for town, very clean and Louise and Abel very welcoming and friendly. Also got my fix of pets (Gina) Wished we had stayed another night N/A
• Simone (9/5): Superb - Really cozy apartment in great location
• Corinne (9/5): Superb -
• Ewen (10/5): We had a fantastic stay in excellent accommodation, many thanks to hosts and staff. - We had a fantastic stay, and the accommodation could not have been any better. Fantastic hosts and fantastic staff. The location is perfect for a stroll into Hermanus town and the fantastic cliff walks.
• Luke (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ofra (7/5): Good - The owner kind and welcoming. Accommodation comfortable and well situated. Felt very welcomed and pleasant space. Cleansing could be a bit better. There were hairs on the floor, some dishes had not been washed well, we had flies in room (no spray) and found 2 coacrchs Sadly. Maybe the cleaners can be informed. Short of this, it was a very pleasant peaceful visit.
• Roberon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kitching (10/5): Exceptional - The most amazing trip! Louise and her Husband were so accommodating and they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Location was an absolute winner! The Guesthouse was central to everything and walking distance from the Village square, top restaurants, Woolworths and Checkers! Guesthouse was equipped with a full kitchen with all the essentials needed for a self catering stay. Outside veranda area was very secluded and comfortable for a nice evening braai! Very spacious Bathroom and Lounge for a comfortable stay! Hemel en Aarde Valley only 4.8km's away for all those Wine connoisseurs. If you are looking to enjoy all that Hermanus has to offer, then I would Highly recommend staying at the Brown Jug Guest House!
• Jaco (10/5): Exceptional - Very neat unit with great amenities, loved the kaggel and bed was very spacious. Friendly host and reception. Usage of the pool is a bonus and walking distance to town centre.
• Gabriel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lydia (8/5): Fantastic location and very comfortable - Lovely host and excellent comfortable and spacious accommodation.
• Machelle (7/5): Perfect place for family, kids loved the pool and breakfast on the terrace. -
• Aiveen (8/5): Very good - Great location and excellent value
• Susanne (8/5): Very good - Super friendly hosts. Comfortable beds and spacious accommodation Nothing
• Nuzhad (10/5): Brilliant location and place! - I loved that there was a pool, it was part of the property but was self contained so you didn’t feel like you were bumping into anyone. The braai area and everything about the property was amazing! Thank you
• Hannahweber244 (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very nice and gave us some recommendations on what to do during our short stay in Hermanus. The apartment is located in walking distance to the beach (~10 minutes) and provides everything you need for cooking or baking.

• Vuyiseka (7/5): Good - Stunning cottage. Beautiful and quiet environment.Main attractions were a walking a distance. Loved it. One of our criteria was for the accomodation was that it must have a swimming pool though we are not really good swimmers.I was a bit disappointed that the shallow part of the pool was also deep.In the end we couldn't use the pool.
• Roberto (10/5): Absolute gem with exceptional attention to details. Lovely hosts. - Everything . The pictures do not convey the charm of the cottage. Private secure free parking.

• Mare (8/5): Very good -
• Colm (10/5): Comfortable place to stay with lovely hosts - The property is peaceful, and the hosts are very nice people. It was great to sit out on the private patio and have dinner. The bathroom is a good size, and the bed is big and comfortable. The location is perfect also - close enough to walk to the town and the beach, but far enough to be quiet.

• Verified traveler (6/5): - Vesi oli poikki ekana päivänä, saimme juomavettä, vasta kun kävimme itse sitä kaupasta hakemassa. Guest house ei tarjonnut apuaan siinä kohdassa. Muuten oli hyvä paikka. Rauhallinen sijainti, kävelymatkan päässä kaikesta tarpeellisesta. Nukuttiin hyvin, vaikka väki juhli Springbockien maailamanmestaruutta.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Angenehme Atmophäre und gute Restaurants - Die Gastgeber sind sehr hilfsbereit Diverse Restaurants und Shops kann man zu Fuß schnell und sicher erreichen. Die Wale Tour war das Highlight
