-Vermont is a quiet suburb of touristy Hermanus and Oude Schuur guesthouse is the best place to stay if a romantic/quiet/peaceful stay is what you seek. Also, its location is close to Salt Pan, and the quiet and green residential area is the best if you are a bird watcher or in general enjoy nature. It's a 10-minute drive away from Hermanus. -The 'Suite with Mountain View' room is a fantastic choice for a luxurious stay with Karen being the most amazing host. She and the staff do their best to make you feel at home. -The exterior was the best part with a grand balcony running along the room overlooking the pool and garden. The interiors in the room are very tastefully designed and maintained well. Extreme comfort is taken care off. -Breakfast is perfect with lots of customizable choices. -Wifi was good and other amenities and facilities were well maintained. It has ample parking space. -Karen's suggestions while exploring Hermanus were indeed very helpful.

This point was not a negative for us entirely but just to mention that the property has a narrow staircase to access the rooms on top. Carrying suitcases to the room might be a tedious job. Staff can be requested to help though.

I absolutely loved my stay at Oude Schuur. The owner Karin is such a lovely person, and the rest of the staff is very friendly and accommodating. They gave me many tips upon arrival and even during my stay they were always informing if I was having a good time. I was there by myself but never felt alone! Breakfast is just perfect, Karin and her staff go out of their way to make everybody happy. The area is quiet and safe, and less than 10 min from the centre of Hermanus. Great restaurants nearby, my favorite one was Milk on the Beach ;-) I highly recommend staying here!

Easy to find, safe and quiet residential neighbourhood. Large room with very comfortable bed. Good size bathroom, fridge provided and tea, coffee & kettle supplied. Breakfast was cooked to order to complement the cereals and breads on offer. Outdoor plunge pool was very welcome to have a cooling short swim in. Had a fantastic casual dinner at nearby Riposo Italian restaurant (3 min drive), dining like locals. Similar short drive to sea front with lovely walk which offers opportunity to swim in a naturally protected ocean "pool" and get some food and drink at a nice surf cafe/restaurant. Having visited nearby Hermanus during our short stay, we were happy to be staying out of the main "resort" town, around 10 mins drive in this great value homestay.

A little bit of road noise in our room during day time and evening when doors are open but was not an issue overnight.

Excellent value for money. Our room was large and well equipped; king size bed, TV, DSTV, fridge, shower and had a large balcony. There is also a large entertainment area and pool downstairs. As a B&B the food was very good -There was plenty to eat and included full English or continental. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating to all our needs. There are several excellent restaurants and a small shopping centre nearby, and Onrus beach is no more than 2 km away.

Be aware that all rooms are on the first floor and there is no lift. Hermanus is not immune to 'load-shedding' but the hosts kept us up to date with the schedule and there is emergency lighting throughout the B&B

We had the most wonderful five days in this beautiful guest house. Carin could not have done more to help us; as first time visitors to Hermanus she was a wealth of knowledge, and showed such a genuine daily interest in all that we he done. On our final day we left early to catch our plane, and she so generously packed us the most delicious breakfast for the car. We would recommend this guest house without hesitation.

Breakfast was filling, delicious and made to order. They accommodated my special request for pancakes for breakfast, which was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. The house and bedrooms is pretty, nicely decorated, clean with a lovely tranquil garden. Secure parking provided.

I, personally, found the mattress too hard. Yet my husband had no issue with it.

We had a wonderful stay here. We received a very friendly welcome and the room and the whole accommodation is very lovely and comfortably furnished. The breakfast was very tasty and everything was freshly prepared. We would love to come back. P.S. Thanks to the tip when checking out, we even saw whales in Hermanus (although we thought we had missed the season). Thank you very much!

The breakfast was above my expectation and i appreciated the attentiveness of ths owners and staff. Place was cleanly and well put together.

It was hard to identify the accommodation and we drove oast 5 times. Later understood the flags beeded to be hoisted again. Also our tv didn't work due to a plug that wasnt on. This lead to us not being able to watch tv and loadshedding happned. This was a bit disappointing.

The people who recieved us. And the bedroom was exceptional. Nice bathroom, very good bed, and the balcony was very big.

The location was not walking distance from other places, but was a good neighborhood. Very pretty and safe. Even though, it is just 10 minutes driving from Hermanus, and there were some very good spots to have dinner or to go to the beach near the hotel.

the establishment called to confirm our booking and arrival time. Our check in was seamless and staff very friendly. A special mention to James who was most helpful on more than one occasion, always helping with a smile on his face. Loved the location as it was close to the main street, and far enough to take a brisk walk down to the ocean. Breakfast choices were limited but good. Room was nicely decorated with satellite tv and wifi available.

We stayed in one of the upstairs bedrooms and they were quite close together. If someone took a shower you could hear them.
