Voeding vir die siel.

Die rustigheid en afsondering van die wêreld al was ons 'n klipgooi vanaf die middedorp met al sy gewoel. Ideaal vir wanneer jy wil afskakel en jou batterye wil herlaai.

The Vishuis is a gem!

My wife and I spent a long weekend at The Vishuis. It's tastefully decorated, has plenty of space for two, was clean and very well stocked with quality linen, appliances, etc. Location is perfect if you are looking to be close to the heart of Hermanus. Our host Marc was a perfect gentleman and clearly pays attention to detail. Communication was faultless. I thought this was great value for money. Wouldn't think twice about going back.

Pragtige huisie met keurige meubels.

Daar was lekker luukshede soos 'n groot mandjie vol hout vir die kaggel, en goeie koffie. Dis regtig lieflik ingeklee met mooi kunswerke. Dit was 'home from home'. En naby die lekkerste koffiewinkels.

Dit was wonderlik, van die begin tot die einde!

Die Vishuis is baie sentraal geleë, binne stapafstand van al die restaurante, winkels en die seefront. Dit is pragtig luuks met 'n ongelooflike versameling kunswerke, baie netjies en ruim en in 'n veilige omgewing. Die kuier was ongelooflik en Marc het my baie welkom laat voel.

Uitstekend. Pragtige plek met die mooiste dekor.

Ek kan die gastehuis hoogs aanbeveel. En daardie kaggel is regtig so 'n aanwins in die winter. Mooi kuns teen die mure, die mooiste bedlinne en 'n XL stort. Wat 'n wonderlike ondervinding so tussen al die lavender op jou voorstoep.

Ongelooflik lekker!

Alles is pragtig en netjies. Die eienaar het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en tuis laat voel. Die blyplek is baie sentraal en loopafstand van middedorp. Ek het egter ’n mikrogolf gemis vir wegneemetes en om melk vir my tee warm te maak.

Pragtige blyplek in die middel van Hermanus.

Ons het 'n heerlike naweek in die Vishuis gehad. Die eienaar was ongelooflik gasvry en het selfs laat die Vrydagaand deurgekom toe ons 'n probleem gehad het. Vreeslike interessante, pragtige dekor. Gemaklike beddens en die kombuis het alles wat 'n mens mag nodig kry. Die ligging is ideal ─ ons kon loop na die restaurante en loop na Woolworths. Dis reg in die middel van Hermanus so jy kan jou kar parkeer en van hom vergeet. Sal definitief terug wees.

Beautiful place to stay in the center of Hermanus.

We had a lovely weekend in the Fish House. The owner was incredibly hospitable and even came through late on the Friday night when we had a problem. Terribly interesting, beautiful decor. Comfortable beds and the kitchen has everything one might need. The location is ideal ─ we could walk to the restaurants and walk to Woolworths. It's right in the middle of Hermanus so you can park your car and forget about him. Will definitely be back.

Die Vishuis het ons baie beïndruk - modieus, netjies met 'n oulike binnehof en plonspoel. Die eienaar, Marc, is uiters vriendelik. Die kamer was baie ruim en netjies en daar was tot 'n Nespresso-masjientjie! Vyf min se stap vanaf die ou hawe en al die lekker restaurante. Sal graag weer hier wil tuisgaan!

The Vishuisie.

The Vishuisie was 'n aangename verrassing! Ruim, gerieflik en binne loopafstand van eetplekke, winkels en kranspaadjies. Marc is n uitstekende gasheer wat uit sy pad gaan om gaste tuis te laat voel. Die kaggel in die kamer het ook gesorg vir heerlike gesellige aande tydens die koue, nat aande. Dankie Marc vir die heerlike wyn, ons sal beslis weer gou terugkom na The Vishuisie.
