Off the main tourist area so it was perfect for our extended stay. You could walk to the beautiful Grotto Beach and enjoy the cliff path. Beautiful in every way!

Thank-you for this lovely review Beverley, it was wonderful to have you with us! Kind regards Aurelia
Absolutely lovely place to stay while in Hermanus. My partner and I agreed that it was one of the nicest places we have ended up in - we stayed in room 1 which has a great view, was very large, and was clean and comfortable. It is very close to a beautiful beach, a nature park and cliff walk. The staff were very friendly and we would be thrilled to stay again.
My only note is that when there is load-shedding, the outside bell doesn't work so we got stuck outside for a little while with no way to access the building. We got in thanks to some other guests who saw us outside, but getting a bell that doesn't rely on grid electricity seems like it could be a good upgrade! Otherwise had such a lovely time, and thank you to the friendly man at the front desk for being perfectly polite and helpful!

Thank-you for this awesome review Emily and for the extremely helpful suggestion, we immediately installed a battery operated doorbell for times of load shedding. The team and I are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and can't wait to welcome you back again. Kind regards Aurelia
Absolutely phenomenal hotel/B&B. Wish we could've stayed more than one night!

This is a fantastic guest house. Our room had a lovely balcony and view. Every detail was covered. Veronica and her family were so very welcoming. Great breakfast too.

Thank-you for this lovely review, it is wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay with us!
Exceptional service, especially from Aurelie, who was very professional, personable, very helpful with great recommendations. The property is located within walking distance to the beach, rooms were spacious, and well-equiped (i.e. kitchen, etc.), breakfast was excellent.

Very comfortable stay. The trek to Dutchie’s for dinner was…..interesting. Bring a light! Staff were lovely and the room had everything. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Wunderschönes Guesthouse mit Blick aus Meer und außergewöhnlich freundlichem Gastgeber Namens Terence. Die Zimmer waren schön groß und Modern. Das inbegriffene Frühstück war hervorragend. Ein Parkplatz auf dem Grundstück ist auch vorhanden. Sehr zu empfehlen
Super toller Aufenthalt in einem neuen kleinen Hotel.
Die Zimmer sind modern und toll eingerichtet. Die Mitarbeiter sind super freundlich, man hat sich wie zu Hause gefühlt.
Parkplatz vor der Tür, das Meer in laufweite. Absolut empfehlenswert, wir kommen wieder.
Whale Coast Villa exceeded all our expectations. Welcome drink, large room with a view, marvellous breakfast and as a cherry on a cake bottle of red for my birthday. There's nothing you could have done better!
