Absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately we only spent one night whilst visiting friends in Hermanus. I could have stayed a month. Very friendly and welcoming. Beautifully decorated and spacious rooms. Lovely lounge area which was cosy and warm for a nightcap after a meal out. Perfect spot in a secure space for relaxing and exploring the area. Will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff for the warm welcome.

The danger with 'luxury' in the name is the immediate setting of high expectations and unfortunately, the place fell short for me. It's an attractive property to pull up to, despite driving alongside the township to get to it, but in the lobby staff kept us waiting to check us in and I noticed cliched and dated seaside decor like fish and shells which didn't align with the classy photography I had previously seen. We were told we were in the villa, which was a separate car park - it didn't need to be but it made it seem an inconvenience to drive around. The 2-storey room itself had some lovely design decisions in the furniture and looked much sharper and impressive than the lobby, but laminated signs dotted around cheapened it. The messaging around water protection and eco measures but could have been made more slick. it was also a contradiction to save water when we had to run and waste the shower before we had any warm water, our toilet also smelled - as we were only there two nights and were out quite a lot we coped. Breakfast was a disappointment. Plastic chairs, limited choices and paying extra for a decent coffee didn't feel luxury. it was never busy despite this, the staff seemed distracted gossiping as we had to chase up our order on both days due to long waits. We stayed in 4 places on our break and mainly due to the lack of customer-focussed service this was my least fave. Location, it is 30min walk from the sea bar photo, 10min walk from new harbour.

The room was very large and there were plenty of nice areas to sit and play boardgames or just read a book. There was an honesty bar, which seems quite common in RSA. The breakfast was ok, but not great. No fresh juice and the specialty coffee (which came at an additional cost) was not very good. The pool didn't look clean, even though there was a guy there every morning trying to clean it plus a machine. Not sure if it was unclean or not, but the water wasn't clear, so I didn't use the pool. The guest house is a good 30 mins walk from the centre of the town but you get there using a magnificent cliff walk which is also nice for running.

So we like the hotel. Hermanus village is okay. However the 2 first images are misleading. These are not from the hotel but from a bar 10 minutes walk away. We booked it bc we thought it was on the premises (we were with baby)

We, with a small child of 1,5 year, had a really nice stay. The Lodge is like a oasis in Hermanus. The people are very friendly and there was no wish left unfulfilled. The food has a high quality and you have always the opportunity to take any kind of drinks by yourself with a kind of selfservice system. We can highly recommend the stay!

The lodge was not luxurious. Our room was large and we had a balcony but some of soft furnishings were a bit tired. The furniture in the breakfast room was basic but breakfast was ok. Staff were lovejy. The grounds were very nice and the pool was inviting but too cold to swim in unfortunately. The location was near the New Harbour area and at the start of the spectacular cliff walk. But it was very close to the township . Security seemed good though so felt safe.

Beautiful Hotel and they upgraded us on arrival. Hotel is located close to the ocean front, and we had a gorgeous half hour walk along the cliff tops into the old harbour area. On the drive to the hotel, Google maps directed us through what felt like a bit of a sketchy area to us (we are Canadian, but South Africans may have a different perception of the area), and the hotel is located a few blocks away from that area. Security at the hotel is very good.

Melanie, Pierre and the Whale Rock crew made me feel right at home, including an upgraded room upon my arrival. All the details were covered (e.g., constantly tended fire, delicious breakfast, timely suggestions on local activities and restaurants). I would definitely stay at Whale Rock Lodge again!

It was a good stay and we can recommend the Facility. All in all we could not fault the Staff and the only advice would be to include directions to the Guest House as our rental did not a GPS. We thus had to search a bit to find the Facility.

We were really impressed with this lodge. It is really well presented, impeccably clean, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Bathrooms are modern and big as well, and everything is really nicely decorated. We wished we had stayed more than one night. The staff are really friendly and helpful and breakfast was great. There is a good pool too. I'd definitely recommend staying here. It's right by the sea and close to the city centre by car. No restaurant for dinner.
