Whale Rock Luxury Lodge

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.

Wonderful stay, great pool and enjoyed the welcome drinks.

房間漂亮舒適，衞生間很大，設施齊全，毛巾架有加熱的，超讚👍整個別墅很大，綠化養護很好，有冰池，英式早餐好吃，服務熱情周到，停車方便，非常滿意。

Had a great, albeit too short stay. We were accommodated in the Villa, which was excellent. The honour bar system is great and very convenient. The welcome and introduction by the Manager Melanie was excellent and super informative.

The hotel is quite isolated and next to what appears to be a township. Certainly we didn’t feel safe

They got me with “luxury” bit. Well it ain’t. Mediocre at best. Be clear that you room is not in the Annex, because apparently this place has a two tier guest experience. Friday on arrival we were told we should go poolside for breakfast. That was OK Saturday, Sunday morning we were turned away and told to go have breakfast in a separate indoor room in the dingy Annex. Sorry, Hermanus was a treat, but we will not be returning to this place.

Right from our check in and all the time we were there all the staff were so friendly and just excellent. Adrian was so friendly and could not have been more helpful The hotel itself was perfect for us, small, quiet and we just loved the relaxed atmosphere. They had a small bar area in the reception which works on an honesty basis. Just help yourself and make a note (Not very often you find that these days) Breakfast was just lovely and everything was so fresh and cooked to order. We liked the walk along the sea to all the restaurants and the taxi home only cost £2.00 We would definitely recommend and if we are ever in the area again, will come again and enjoy their warm hospitality.

A little outside the main central area of Hermanus, close to the new harbour. A quiet lodge to stay in relative comfort and on the edge of the cliff path. We had a cosy room with access via the patio doors to our own outside bistro set, the garden and the pool and breakfast room. The room was very spacious and the bathroom well equipped with shower and bath and two sinks. Breakfast was plentiful but not as good quality as other places we stayed, with not as much choice, but still ok. The pool area was nice with relaxing loungers and towels provided. it was a 5 min walk to catch our early boat in the harbour which was great. We had to take a taxi into town for dinner as it's a 40 min walk along the cliff path and not safe at night.

Very nice place, good atmosphere and friendly and service minded people. A must come back 🤗.
