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.

This was our first stay at Whale Rock Lodge, but not the last one, we will definitely return. The lovely white building with thick thatch roofs and the nice garden with a very big pool and sunbeds makes this a unique and great place to stay. All the rooms are so tastefully and elegantly decorated, and the lounge area with a bar is very cosy and nice. The breakfast selection with eggs to order and lots of nice fruit etc. was extremly delicious. The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. We can't wait to return to Whale Rock Lodge and Villa.

Great value for money! The place is nicely located at the end end of the coast line of Hermanus next to to the new harbour and very close to the cliff path. Very comfortable rooms and extensive breakfast. The place has 2 open bars and a nice pool area. Close by you have the Rock restaurant with great views ver the ocean.

This is a well maintained boutique hotel. Staff were very friendly and really helpful. Rooms were large, bright and the bed was super comfortable. Decent wifi throughout. The car parking was safe and secure. It's just a few minutes walk to the harbour and the cliff path. Nice place to stay and would recommend.

What an experience we had a Whale Rock Lodge. We were greeted with a welcome drink and a very smooth check-in process with a detailed run down of the local area. Staff were excellent and couldn't have been more helpful. The honesty bar is well socked and reasonably proceed. Our room was spacious, clean and tidy and was cleaned each day of our stay. Location wise it is pretty central and just a 3 minute drive from the town centre and 1 minute from the new harbour. There is a real homely feel about the lodge and breakfast each morning was amazing. the selection was excellent and the cooked options were always served as requested and with a smile. My wife and I will definitely be back when we visit South Africa again.

This was the first night of our wedding anniversary South Africa trip and hoped to get a chance at seeing the whales, however Mother Nature and the storm she brought in conspired against us. Retreating back to Whale Rock was a pleasure. What an amazing place. We were in the villa (room 15) and wow, just wish weren’t just staying for one day. The villa lounge with roaring wood fire, comfy seats and a bar (ok you pay, but fair prices, so absolutely no complaints). Breakfast buffet and made to order cooked so plenty to fill you for the day. Everyone there pleasant and helpful, but big shout out to Adrian. Go back? Absolutely yes.

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.

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.
