Had a splendid 2 night stay and wish we could have stayed longer.
The staff made us feel so welcome. They are exceptionally polite and well informed on the surrounding area. We were provided with a map full of helpful suggestions, and a thorough introduction to the lodge and all it's facilities upon check-in.
The lodge is located right next to Hermanus New Harbour and a few steps from the cliff path, which is well worth the walk.
The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. It opens onto a beautiful, well maintained garden area but a few steps from the pool.
Breakfast was fantastic (reccommend the Full English!), and a lovely selection of breads, cereals, fruits, cold meats, yogurts etc at the buffet.
Truly, no complaints. Would absolutely stay again.

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.

Returning for our fith time. Excellent position, very friendly staff and great amenities. Made to feel like one of the family and cannot wait to return. Arranged taxis into town and great advice on the local area. Melanie is one of the best managers we have stayed with.

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)

The experience at Whale Rock was excellent from check in to check out. Pros (some not mentioned in description)... great breakfast and good options & Service 100%. We stayed in room 4, which was well furnished with a great view. The bed was super comfy. Pool area is great with areas of shade and sun at most times of the day. Staff are excellent and so accomodating, you could not ask for more. Cons If you drive to the hotel using Sat Nav, it can route you through a local "shanty" area, which can be a bit disconcerting, however be 100% assured this is not a problem, as with many places in many places around the world, just be sensible. Drive in and out, or use tuk-taxis after dark and you will be completely safe.
