    Average place to stay in Greyton for a night

    Very cold room in winter, the wall panel heater in the living room just did not project heat to warm up the room, I had to sit on a cushion on the floor in front of it to stay warm. Couch was worn out and uncomfortable to sit on, no indoor table/chairs for eating, room needs some updating and reconfiguring. Kitchen was not really designed to cook anything, just fixing a cold breakfast. Outdoor front patio was unpleasant to sit on since it looked at the parked cars, fence next door and staff had to walk back and forth in front of you all day to do their jobs. Aside from the property itself, the town of Greyton just did not charm us so our expectations were probably too high for the whole experience.

    Spacious clean chalet, bed was fine, the staff were pleasant, secure parking, location was good for walking to restaurants. Their onsite restaurant had a pretty good burger and was very convenient in winter. There are several pretty good restaurants in town. Great free hiking nearby with lots of trail options and wildlife sightings. The park ranger at the entrance was very helpful and informative.

    Ideally situated in middle of town. Good food. Very friendly staff! The outdoor pizza oven is one of a kind! Very rustic and effective.

    Amy, Tommy, and staff were always available, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure that we were happy and comfortable. From the moment we arrived, without any prompting, they offered to change the room - to accommodate a mother and son travelling together. There are many reasons why their restaurant is always full of happy locals! We will definitely return. Hopefully soon!

    Travel Back to The 1830's at Historic Greyton's Old Potter's Inn and Brewhouse
    • Leisure trip

    It is my hope that the next time I'm in Greyton, the pub will be open for business, As a consolation prize this last visit, Tommy gave us a couple of large bottles of his home-brewed craft lager and ale, which will be served there when open!

    This is the second time I've stayed at historic Old Potters' Inn, and I think of gracious, accommodating and knowledgeable hosts Amy and Tommy as family and friends. The inn is right in the middle of the charming village of Greyton, close to the crossroads, yet is surprisingly quiet. Secure parking is off-street on the property. This time we stayed in a large room above the pub, which is undergoing extensive renovations. Everything worked and there was good water pressure in the shower, one of my favorite metrics. I have a weakness for funky old historic hotels in great locations, and this is certainly one of them. Shops, restaurants, and stores abound in the immediate vicinity and everything is within walking distance anyway. The Saturday morning village market is a short block away and features homemade and home grown items and crafts. Not to be missed is a visit to the largely restored historic mission station of Genadendal, a mere 5 km away, founded in 1738, a favorite of Amy's, the oldest in South Africa, and a great place to spend a tranquil time wandering among the tree-shaded mission buildings, some of which have been repurposed for contemporary uses.

    We couldn’t shower as the water did not heat up even after a few minutes of letting it run. It also wet the floor outside the shower because of the angle of the shower head. It was too cold to even attempt to shower. Had to just have a wash but even then the temperature of the hand basin was tepid and not hot.

    The room and bed were very comfortable.

    Die onderste sitplekkie was koud. Die blyplekkie en restaurant het baie potensiaal, maar voel nie snoesig en verwelkomend nie. Geen vadoeke in die kombuis nie. Die buitenste sitplekkies en toilet was nie skoon nie.

    Stapafstand na baie van die eetplekke en die markie. Baie sentraal geleë. Ons voertuig was agter n̈ hek. Ons het veilig gevoel. Personeel was vriendelik. Elektriese komberse op die bed is n̈ groot pluspunt. Die plek het hul eie restaurant waar ons heerlik geeet het.

    The upper room wood floor was a little noisy when walking on it.

    The Chalet was spacious and comfortable for our needs. Perfectly positioned to walk everywhere and enjoy the numerous coffee shops and restaurants in the quaint town. Lovely pool area for hot days. Great local info from hosts.

    Centrally located with a charming atmosphere, the Potter’s Inn weaves a sense of peace, comfort and history into your Greyton stay. Tommy and his staff add a dazzling warmth to your stay. The accommodation is well and comfortably equipped, tidy and clean, and incredibly spacious.

    There was a live band playing next door until 23:00 (was a Saturday night). Didn’t bother us, but maybe not everyone’s cup of tea.

    Well located, everything you need for a night or two. Room is small, but well thought out and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and professional and the room was spotless on arrival. Pool a bonus for summer. Great value as well.
