"Eastbury Cottage Self Catering and B&B"

(South Africa) Brian Clements

"SafariNow directions to the establishment are out dated and incorrect! This needs to be corrected - new 'circles' have appeared and roads closed off since they were printed. Very irritating. Otherwise a very pleasant stay."

"Really comfortable and homely. Made very welcome by Storm and Jenny. Ideally situated to be able to walk to all the shops, restaurants and promenade and Cliff walk. We loved being able to walk into town and back each evening to sample the different restaurants. The daily servicing was really accommodating allowing us to go out for our early morning run, come back and shower and have breakfast without hurrying us at all. It certainly met all our needs and expectations and was a good example of Hermanus hospitality. Thank You."

The Rose Room is self contained and has a covered entrance with umbrella, table and chairs for outside dinning when hot. Hermanus is a lovely seaside town with many attractions, try the cliff walks and excellent restaurants. I would definitely return to this area."

"Beauty cannot only be seen or touched it needs to be felt in the heart
Rose cottage did this for us; our hearts were touched by the serenity of the cottage, the singing of the birds every morning, the beautiful, stunning garden and the quiet but efficient service given by Jessica, Craig and staff.
These young people really made us feel at home and nothing was too much trouble
For them, including providing us with a scrumptious breakfast each day. We would definitely recommend this establishment to friends and family."


"Quiet and relaxing"

(Zimbabwe) Mr Dahlmann

"The Rose room was very spacious and the interior very homely with good taste and a personal touch. It was like staying in the guest room of a friend's house. The private entrance on the garden was very nice and quiet. We enjoyed our stay a lot and hope to come back one day."

"The garden cottage at Eastbury Cottage is [I have to use the word] quaint. It is decorated with the colours I love and so felt homely and welcoming. Add to that two genuinely friendly hosts, Jessica and Craig, and you are made to feel at ease straight away. Jessica greeted us and was so generous with her time and help. Unfortunately the gas was not working correctly the first day but we were welcome to use the house kitchen. Yoda actually runs the place but is not quite so friendly, and demands respect at all times...how I loved that bossy little parrot! We were left to our own devices to come and go as we pleased and that is how we like it, but should we have needed help it was there. The garden has a relaxed atmosphere and is really beautiful.

It is a base to explore: many places of interest nearby. We walked to the beach and cliffs most mornings to whale watch [too many to count] which was marvellous and Fernkloof, less than a 5min. drive away, is full of indigenous plants and an interesting place for walks, or just to wander round the gardens. From Eastbury we visited bays along the coast - notably Betty's Bay where I was enchanted by the wonderfully delightful African Penguins, which are instantly lovable.

A place that is so easy going, has pets around, is decorated by a kindred spirit's love of colour, which is subtle yet warm at the same time, has my vote and I shall definitely recommend Eastbury Cot. to everyone going Hermanus way. "

"Eastbury Cottage is exactly what every couple needs, whether you newly married or just need that weekend away from the kids and city life.

We had an absolute stunning time, the cottage is situated in the residential area of Hermanus, but it feels like the country with birds chirping and the quietness is good for everyone's soul.

The breakfast that we had, there is just not enough words to describe it! Stunning and with the expensive life we are living in at the moment is the price of this cottage what anyone can afford.

Absolutely amazing! We will definitely go again!

"We are frequent visitors to Hermanus, having family there and have stayed in several accommodation establishments over the years. Eastbury rates are the best and we will certainly be returning! Having comfort, privacy and ease of movement is important for us and Jenny provided all this and more in an unobtrusive yet caring way. We loved the garden cottage - it had everything we needed and the extra touches like shower/bath gel, shampoo & conditioner were a special touch which we did not expect to find in a self-catering unit. The cottage is beautifully decorated, warm and cosy (essential in the Cape winters!) and Jenny was quick to offer an extra heater if we needed one. With easy access to Hermanus town and the Bay but being situated in a quiet street meant we enjoyed peaceful sleeps. There was never any pressure on us to vacate the cottage in the mornings so the staff could service it. They waited until we went out. We could come and go as we wanted (we hate imposing on people, even if we are paying for it!), our vehicle was safely parked inside the grounds and our stay definitely added to the enjoyment of our visit. We looked forward to coming "home" every evening!

So often people set up a B&B in their homes without really thinking about what guests want - it is simply to make money out of empty rooms. Jenny has provided a real home from home experience at a very affordable price - we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the accommodation and the personal service we received.

Eastbury surpassed our expectations!! Thanks so much Jenny, as Arnie says in The Terminator - "We'll be back"!! John & Di Atherton

And Jenny is such a great host and lovely person. Well, would we stay again in the Eastbury Cottage? For sure - and next time we will stay a whole week!"

"All in all we found our stay at Eastbury Cottage excellent!
At arrival we got to know Jenny, probably the kindest host in Hermanus.
She was always available and able to give us any information we needed.
The apartment was more than we had expected, especially for the price we paid. The rooms were tastefully decorated and were equipped with everything one could possible need (including an electric blanket) as it is winter there at the moment.
The parking area is secure and situated on the property.
What we also enjoyed was where the Cottage is located: a very quiet neighbourhood, no traffic, but only about 1 minute away from the main road and about 2-3 minutes away from the sea.
We would have loved to stay longer and will hopefully be able to come back one day and stay longer...

Highly recommended!"


"Eastbury excellence"

(South Africa) Mr Strickland

(Switzerland) Paul Hicks

"We had a very relaxing stay at "The Courtyard" which was clean, bright & sunny with a compact sitting area outside to enjoy the sunshine. Jenny was very friendly & helpful & was able to give us invaluable advice for enjoying our stay in Hermanus"


"All we could ask for!"

(South Africa) Ms Dukas

"The loft was so cute, and had everything (and more) that we could possibly need. After only one night we felt thoroughly relaxed and at ease. Will be sure to recommed Eastbury to friends. Thank you, Jenny and staff!"
