About Pot Pourri Guest House
Pot Pourri Guesthouse was established in December 2007 by its current owners Johan and Ansie Potgieter. After many years of dreaming about having a guest house, this dream eventually started to realise when they bought the property in Aston Manor and started renovations.
Nine months of blood, sweat and often a tear or two, rebuilding the house, changing bathrooms, tiles, repainting and a total re-decoration, Pot Pourri Guest House opened its doors for business.
Right from the word go, it was non negotiable that Pot Pourri would be a smaller establishment that would cater for the individual with that personal service and touch making available a home away from home. No high volumes of guests arriving and departing ensuring that every guest would feel at home and could relax after a hard days work, or for the odd holidaymaker, a restful time after visiting the city.
