Whale Coast All-Suite-Hotel - DCC Hotel Group

Comfortable family stay! The housekeeping team, bed comfort and towels/ linen where a stand out at the property. Very good! WCH is nice and central and an easy walk through the old harbour area. Really close to great coffee shops and restaurants and very easy access to beautiful seaside trails and tidal pools. Thank you to the team for being so responsive when we had requests. Areas to be looked at to enhance the stay: - breakfasts were less than average, after the first morning we chose to rather eat off property, - soaps amenities etc quality needs improvement, - with load-shedding an ever present challenge the property needs to be further integrated into an off-grid solution. Great that at minimum a light and wifi remains functional when electricity grid goes down. - the admin, check in and office environment needs a new home - the dining room is not the place for these.

lovely What a lovely place. It is well-situated and has everything you need. Would recommend an aircon in the second bedroom but otherwise, it is fantastic

Absolutely lovely stay. An unusual hotel positioned within a small shopping mall, all of the hotel is located on the 1st floor with shops below. But it’s shut at night so no issues with noise. The room was 2 storey and massive. Was handy to come back after a meal out and be able to grab a bottle of wine to take back to our room to enjoy the view from our balcony. Breakfast was lovely, full English plus continental. Staff were lovely and underground secure parking was available. Location was perfect, a short walk down to the bars and restaurants on the seafront, where you could watch whales from the shore. A free lido is available at the seafront too!

The apartment was lovely however the management were not accommodating at all. I emailed to arrange a late check in due to a delayed flight more than a week earlier and did not receive a response until I called the reception three days prior, who were then helpful to accommodate us and arrange for this, as well as a late check out seeing as we would only be arriving at 11pm. On the day of arrival, the night staff were very helpful and assisted us to check in at 11pm, after we drove an hour and a half from Cape Town. They took their time to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable. The next morning at breakfast, we waited 45 minutes to be served and when I went to reception to confirm a late check out as arranged prior to arrival, I was rudely told that this was not possible as the room needed to be prepared for the next guests, even though the necessary arrangements had been made. We then returned to the room to find the power out, and no electricity present in the prepaid meter, so I called the reception to alert them as we needed to check out in 30 minutes but the issue was rectified 25 minutes later when I walked to reception to query why nobody had attended to the issue. Only then were we given an extra 30 minutes to round up our stuff and check out in time. The apartment was lovely, but the service from the day staff at reception and the management was appalling and very disappointing, which ruined the experience for us in Hermanus unfortunately.

We stayed in Hermanus for a couple of nights. The hotel is accessed by elevator on the second floor of a shopping center. It was convenient in location which is close to the water, shopping, art galleries and restaurants. We had a 4 bedroom apartment that was 2 levels. It had a nice kitchen, dining room, balcony patio, living room and en suites for 2 bedrooms. The access to parking was a private parking area which utilized a key fob behind a gate. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Gift was very helpful with our luggage and guiding us to the parking garage. The cleaning staff were very nice. The property managers were also exceedingly helpful. There was an included breakfast which was nice. The shopping mall below had a grocery store, liquor store, and other shops which was convenient after driving there from Cape Town. We enjoyed the rooms, the town and the sights. Parking was convenient and many things were easily within walking distance. I’d love to stay here again.

Apartment felt like home
