Amazing, beautiful, relaxing.

This place was amazing. I would like to say thank you to the host for meeting my request. You guys are amazing. My husband and I enjoyed our stay for our 10-year wedding anniversary. The place is clean and super beautiful. Will definitely not be my last booking.

Ek het onlangs die voorreg gehad om by Anchor's Rest te bly, en ek moet sê dit het al my verwagtinge oortref. Ons het baie heerlik gebly en die atmosfeer was ontspanne.

Hartlike gasvryheid. Die skoonheid van die gastehuis was onberispelik. Deurdagte geriewe. Die dekor van die kamer was smaakvol en het 'n gesellige atmosfeer geskep, perfek vir ontspanning na 'n dag van verkenning. Skilderagtige omgewing en toeganglik na die see en berg - voetstappaadjies van die mooie Hermanus. Die ligging van die gastehuis was ideaal. Dit was gerieflik naby landmerke, besienswaardighede of gewilde areas wat maklike verkenning van die omgewing moontlik gemaak het. Ek beveel hierdie gastehuis ten sterkste aan vir enige individu wat 'n toevlug soek wat luuksheid, gemak, en hartlike gasvryheid kombineer.

I recently had the privilege of staying at Anchor's Rest, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. We had a great stay and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Warm hospitality. The beauty of the guest house was impeccable. Thoughtful amenities. The decor of the room was tasteful and created a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Picturesque surroundings and accessible to the sea and mountain - footpaths of the beautiful Hermanus. The location of the guesthouse was ideal. It was conveniently close to landmarks, attractions or popular areas which allowed for easy exploration of the area. I highly recommend this guest house to any individual seeking a retreat that combines luxury, comfort, and warm hospitality.

The venue, location and hosts were excellent.

We stayed for my birthday weekend and had a really great time. The units were clean and fitted with modern appliances. We had everything we needed. Karien and Sean were excellent hosts. friendly and very helpful and made us feel special. Communication was quick and effective. One of the best stays I've had in years.

Pragtige privaat eenheid.

Hierdie is ons 2de besoek aan Anchor's Rest en ons sal beslis weer terugkom. Die eenhede is goed toegerus met Nespresso-koffiemasjiene, gas, sowel as induksie-stowe. Daar is ook voorsiening gemaak vir beurtkrag wat 'n groot pluspunt is. Die bed en beddegoed is goeie kwaliteit en gemaklik.

Beautiful private unit.

This is our 2nd visit to Anchor's Rest and we will definitely be back. The units are well equipped with Nespresso coffee machines, gas as well as induction stoves. Provision has also been made for load shedding which is a big plus. The bed and bedding are good quality and comfortable.

The bedroom window handles are very loose, and difficult to close the windows.

Ek en my dogter het een nag in Anchor's Rest oorgeslaap tydens ' n kort wegbreek.

Ek was baie beïndruk met die vriendelike verwelkoming en gasvryheid. Ons eenheid was baie netjies en goed toegerus en heerlik privaat. Baie naby die see en staproete. Het die ontspanne en rustigheid terdeë geniet.

My daughter and I spent one night in Anchor's Rest during a short break.

I was very impressed with the friendly welcome and hospitality. Our unit was very neat and well equipped and wonderfully private. Very close to the sea and hiking trail. Thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed and peacefulness.

Absolutely lovely stay.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Anchor's Rest. The host was very friendly. We spent the entire afternoon chilling at the pool area. The rooms are clean and the building is well secured. Definitely value for money.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! And hope you come chill by the pool again soon.

Diens was bitter baie swak.

Ons het na 14:00 by die huis arriveer, maar niemand was beskikbaar om die hek oop te maak of die foon te antwoord nie. Ek het die webtuiste gekontak wat ook nie die eienaar/bestuurder in die hande kon kry nie. Ons het meer as 20 minute in die straat voor die huis gesit, voordat die hek vir ons oopgemaak is. Niemand het ons kom sien en verduidelik waarom dit gebeur het nie. Ons was vir 5 nagte by Anchor's Rest en daar is geen kontak met ons gemaak nie. Die inligtingsbrosjure sê dat die eenheid daagliks gediens word, maar vir 2 van die 5 dae het niemand opgedaag om die eenheid te diens nie. Ek het probeer navraag doen, maar weereens is die foon nie geantwoord nie en daar is ook nie gereageer op my WhatsApp nie. Die eenheid is goed geleë en was netjies, maar daar was ongelukkig geen diens nie. Niemand was ook beskikbaar om te vra oor aktiwiteite in die omgewing nie, alhoewel die inligtingsbrosjure noem dat ons welkom is om hieroor uit te vra.

Service was very very poor.

We arrived at the house after 14:00 but no one was available to open the gate or answer the phone. I contacted the website who also could not get hold of the owner/manager. We sat in the street in front of the house for more than 20 minutes, before the gate was opened for us. No one came to see us and explain why this happened. We stayed at Anchor's Rest for 5 nights and we were not contacted at all. The information brochure says that the unit is serviced daily, but for 2 of the 5 days no one showed up to service the unit. I tried to inquire but again the phone was not answered and my WhatsApp was also not responded to. The unit is well located and was tidy, but unfortunately there was no service. Also, no one was available to ask about activities in the area, although the information brochure mentions that we are welcome to ask about this.

Dear Connie, we are sorry that you experienced bad service from Anchors Rest in December 2021. Please note that the previous owner was selling the property in December 2021. We only took ownership of the property in 2022. We hope that we can welcome you back sometime in the future and ensure your stay to be an enjoyable one. All the best, Karien.

Pebbles was 'n baie lekker plekkie om te bly en baie privaat.

Dit was baie rustig en stil. Veilige parkering en naby aan restaurante. Ek en my sussie sal vir seker weer by Anchor's Rest bespreek.

Our stay was very pleasant, comfortable bed and well equipped. However apparently the problem with TV programs was temporary.

We received a very friendly welcome, no interaction with other guests. Our room was comfortable and well equipped, safe parking gave us peace of mind. We were able enjoy our day trips and return to a safe environment. Thank you.
