We are a family of four who love to stay Hermanus on weekend getaways from Cape Town and have recently discovered this lovely place. Well equipped home, wooden floors and beautiful patio with braai that can even be closed on those chilly evenings, and walking distance from Grotto and Voëlklip beaches. We have been back twice and intend doing so again on our next visit to Hermanus.
Highly recommended.

This comfortable holiday home is really well located, within walking distance of beaches and 'Daily Bread' deli. Sea views are limited but mountain views spectacular from the side bedrooms and kitchen! It is well equipped with almost everything a family needs for a vacation. The owner Charlyn Vosloo is helpful and friendly and also able to advise on activities in the area. Reasonably priced - highly recommended. We would stay there again.

If you wish to stay in the pretties part of Hermanus close to gorgeous beaches and walkways just down the road, look no further. Should you wish to spend a small amount of time or arrange for a family holiday you will not be disappointed in booking at the Bottom House. Charlyn was most welcoming with excellent tips at hand and gave our holiday a personal touch. The house was well stocked with everything you will need and Charlyn was only a sms away in directing us in and around Hermanus as first time visitors. You never feel boxed in as the house is very spacious with a magical vintage flair making it a truly unique place to be. The beds were extremely comfortable and the place is well kept and neat as a pin. When returning next year for the Wines to Whales Cycling be sure that we will book as soon as possible and for a longer period as the Bottom House is home to us and our family.

It was lovely to return to Bottom House for a relaxing week' stay. Spacious, comfortable and well-equipped for self-catering, Bottom House is within walking distance (10 Minutes) of Hermanus' stunning Cliff Path and 10 minutes drive to several shops to stock up the larder. As always, Charlyn warmly welcomed us and went more than the extra mile to ensure access to the full DSTV bouquet. We already planning our next return stay at Bottom House.

Bottom House is becoming our favourite destination when spending time in Hermanus. Spacious accommodation, fully-equipped kitchen (incl dishwasher and washing machine, iron facilities), comfortable, informal lounge area (full access to DSTV), and 5 minutes by car from the beach. Quiet neighbourhood and gracious hostess.
