  • "Anchors Rest"

    08 November 2010

    "Anchor's Rest is a lovely place - huge room, very clean, and extremely helpful and friendly owners. My only comment would be that the self-catering facilities weren't quite what I was expecting - a braai and a microwave rather than a fully equipped kitchen. But other than that a super place, and very good value for money. "

    18 November 2009

    "A good choice if you don't want to be in the town itself (its 2km from the centre) since its very quiet and easy to find. We arrived quite late (9pm) but fortunately called the owner and he left us the keys to collect on arrival. The room (Pebbles) is purpose built as a s/c unit so works really well, having a mini kitchen with fridge, microwave, toaster and plates etc (no actual cooker). The bed was excellent quality and room spacious and light. Recommend it for a short stay"

  • "Tranquility Personified!"

    20 March 2007

    "Having travelled to various locations around the world and in Southern Africa, I would like to express my joy over our stay at Anchors Rest in Hermanus. The arrangements were made with expertise and efficiency and the welcome was wonderful. The 'loft' where we stayed on the property was 'private', which is what we wanted, and well appointed. The main room was light, airy and large. The ammenities on the same level where more than adequate and although there was no kitchen sink to wash dishes, this was taken care of on a daily basis by the invisible fairy who also serviced the rooms! The beach is only a whisper away and the views in the whole area were breath-taking. Thank you for the hospitality extended to us and we have no reserve in not only recommending this area for visitation, but also recommend a well earned rest time at this lovely establishment."
