We had a lovely stay here. The room was large with comfy bed and sheets, Breakfast was good and freshly cooked to order. One thing to note is the shower and toilet are in the same space with no door on the toilet. Secure parking behind electric gates. Nice pool area to relax around.

The house was easy to find. When ringing the bell a friendly lady opens the gate and introduced herself. She guided us ( three couples) to our rooms which were superb, really spacious and on the last modern stage of art. The views on the sea were stunning, The whole house was top modern and build with high value material by perfect handcrafts men. The security feeling was 100% (if this is possible) as we received remote control for the outside gate, PIN codes for the entrance door of the house and PIN codes for every room. The offered breakfast plus buffet was fantastic. The stuff was very supportive and friendly. There were no problem but only solutions. We had a fantastic stay there.

Wonderful place, very clean, very friendly stuff, very nice rooms! Situated not in the city centre (max. 5min by car), which can be advantage or disadvantage, but we enjoyed it not to be in the crowd :-)

It was very nice to walk along the ocean from the path that was very close to this hotel. There was also a really good restaurant within walking distance. I believe it was Harbour House, and that was delicious.

This new bed and breakfast accommodation is located in less than 10 minutes walk from the new harbour where whale watching trips depart from. The room we had was vast and modern, but having the shower (very efficient) and toilet in the same room may not be to everyone’s taste. Secure parking was provided. The breakfast was good but if you want bacon well done then say so because the default is just cooked. Bed was vast and comfortable with usb sockets in the efficient bedside lights.

We had a very pleasant stay at the Whales Tale. The property is beautifully furnished, the rooms are spotlessly clean and contain everything you need. We had a room with views over the bay which was wonderful. The property is just across the road from the scenic coastal path along which you can walk into the centre of Hermanus or in the opposite direction to the new Harbour. We were warmly welcomed by Evelyn who was very hospitable. Breakfast was delicious with several choices. we would certainly stay here again if we were visiting Hermanus.
