"My stay at The Whale on Main B&B was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, we was greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine sense of welcome. The location is fantastic, perfectly situated for exploring the area, and close to the ocean and golf course. The room was beautifully appointed, clean, and incredibly comfortable. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The breakfast each morning was delicious, with a wonderful variety of options to choose from. What truly sets The Whale on Main apart is the exceptional service. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering excellent recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Their attention to detail and genuine care made my stay truly memorable. We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I highly recommend The Whale on Main B&B to anyone seeking a comfortable and welcoming stay."

A very nice home in Hermanus. The B&B hosts are very kind and attentive. They can provide lots of recommendations of what to see in Hermanus and the surrounding areas, and some tips for whale watching too.

Having to leave this beautiful guesthouse and Hermanus.

The entire experience from check-in to departure was done with great professionalism and attention to detail, the host makes you feel at home from when they come and welcome you to their guesthouse on arrival. The breakfast choices are great and the food is freshly prepared for you.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Our room was huge. There was plenty of storage space. The bed was extremely comfortable and large. Plenty of charging space next to the bed and around the room. Our room had a huge balcony that looked onto the back of the property and had a wonderful view of the mountains. Unfortunately we didn’t get to sample breakfast on either morning due to being up early. But Zeno very kindly got up early with us one morning and made us coffee and offered us some yoghurt. This was so kind and much appreciated. The hosts were so lovely, friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. I left a pair of trousers in the ironing room to iron on my return and the fantastic housekeeper had done this for me. Which was so lovely and kind. There was plenty of car parking and very easy to get in and out of the guest house. Beautiful property. Just a shame we were only there for 2 nights. If we are ever back in Hermanus we will definitely return.

Only disadvantage is the situation to restaurants. It takes a 20 minutes walk to reach the downtown area, where a great selection of restaurants is situated. Part of the walk is at the water side, but a part also on the busy street.

Very friendly reception - a safe environment in Hermanus. Great breakfast and super welcoming hosts. Rooms are of good size and have comfortable beds. Great stunning cliffs are just 5 minutes footwalk away.

From arrival we felt welcomed and special. The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Rooms are well equipped and such a treat to have a top range bath salts and bubbles for the bath. Breakfast was healthy and sufficient. Home away from home. We truly enjoyed our stay.

I wished the check-out time would be a little later than 10:00am.

The place was extremely clean and beautiful!! The owners were so kind and showed a great hospitality to take care of me. There were some magazines and the local newspaper, which I really enjoyed. The special treat drink was provided for free. No other place cared about those little things.
