“Perfect stay”
We had a wonderful week-long stay at Botany House in Hermanus. It was the perfect home base for our trip—comfortable, welcoming, and very well located. We and our sphynxes especially appreciated the electric blankets and gas heater, which made a big difference during the cooler weather. Everything we needed was close by, making it easy to explore and enjoy the area without any hassle. We truly enjoyed our stay and felt right at home. We would happily return and highly recommend Botany House to others!

“Excellent location for the light traveller.”
Greatest location ever. We never even used the car in the four days we were there. Exactly halfway (and within walking distance) between supermarkets and restaurants. Best two bakeries on the same block for breakfast pasties. Daan's bakery was beyond good. The property was clean and neat and looked exactly like the photos. This property is suitable for a short stay only and delivered on location, location, location.

“A perfect 11/10 stay!”
Beautiful! If I could give this property 11/10 I would. Firstly great communication with the owner. Nothing was too much trouble. The location was perfect very close to shops, restaurants and the coastline. Perfect coastline to see the whales. We walked the Cliff Path walk and saw lots of whales along the way. The accommodation was amazing. Very clean with everything we needed. Felt very homely for a relaxing stay. Would highly recommend.

“Wonderful place that we highly recommend”
Very comfortable home in an amazing location: right in the centre of the town but a very quiet street. The apartment also had a nice area to sit outside. We had a wonderful stay! Vanessa also replied very quickly to our messages and communicated very clearly. Thank you for the wonderful time.
