Perfect stay in Hermanus

Best hosts that we have ever experienced. Super nice and helpful and so warm and welcoming. They even organised a doctor‘s appointment for us. It felt a bit like home away from home :)

The beautiful place with low price including breakfast plus warm welcoming from the owner made a day

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.

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

Kleine Wohlfühloase in Hermanus

Sehr nette und freundliche Besitzer. Man fühlt sich direkt wohl wie Zuhause. Das Zimmer war groß und komfortabel. Das Frühstück war auch lecker und ausreichlich. Guter Ort in Hermanus.

Es ist nachts warm geworden. Eine Klimaanlage wäre gut gewesen.

Entspanntes Wohnen am Cliff Path

Die Unterkunft liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe zum traumhaften Cliff Path; die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und geben viele gute Tipps; unser Zimmer (Nr. 1, zur Straße) ist gemütlich modern und sehr großzügig eingerichtet, verfügt über ein sehr schönes großes Bad und einen Balkon. Sehr empfehlenswert - wir kommen gerne wieder (dieses Mal zur Walbeobachtung!)

Nächstes Mal würden wir gerne länger bleiben als nur eine Nacht und dann lieber ein Zimmer mit Bergview buchen, da man von Nr. 1 den Verkehr auf der Main Road hört (nachts aber überwiegend ruhig).

Schön, geschmackvoll, geräumige Zimmer, sehr familiär geführt - top Lage unweit der Küstenoromenade.

Das sehr familiäre, geschmackvoll eingerichtete Hotel bietet die ideale Unterkunft in Hermanus. Direkt an der Hauptstrasse gelegen und nur wenige Schritte von der Küstenpromenade entfernt. Sicheres Gebiet, Parkplätze auf dem geschlossenen Gelände. Sehr leckeres Frühstück! Gute Infos und sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Wir würden dieses Hotel sofort wieder buchen bei einem nächsten Besuch von Hermanus.

Die perfekte Unterkunft in Hermanus

Whale on main war für uns der perfekte erste Stop unserer Südafrika Reise! Wir wurden von den beiden Gastgebern Zeno & Marlene mehr als herzlich empfangen und haben uns ab der ersten Sekunde super wohl und zu Besuch bei guten Freunden gefühlt. Die beiden stecken sehr viel Herzblut und Leidenschaft in ihr B&B und das merkt man sofort. Wir haben von Zeno täglich super Tipps und Empfehlungen erhalten und wurden sehr aufmerksam und hilfsbereit betreut! Das Frühstück ist jeden Morgen liebevoll zubereitet, frisch und sehr lecker. Das Zimmer und Badezimmer sehr geräumig und sauber. Das gesamte Anwesen sehr gepflegt, sicher und schön gelegen - außerdem gibt es einen Parkplatz auf dem Gelände. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in Hermanus sehr genossen, einige Wale vom Cliff Path (direkt gegenüber der Unterkunft) beobachten können und freuen uns darauf, die beiden hier irgendwann nochmal zu besuchen. Ein riesiges Lob und eine sehr große Empfehlung!

Marlene and Zeno have an absolute gem and immediately I was sure that I'll be back next year.

Super clean accommodation, modern with a very personal touch of the owner couple. They are going the extra mile, lovely, heartwarming people with a great sense for hospitality. This is the place to stay when in Hermanus. Only 2 minutes walking to the cliffpath from where it is possible to watch the whales in the bay

Great rooms and wonderful owners

Cute little Guest House with two fabolous owners who did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They even did our laundry for us (we only stayed overnight) and did everything to provide me vegan breakfast choices. Loved the big room and the wonderful shower.

Best place to enjoy Hermanus

Wonderful modern B&B! Room was exceptionally comfortable with kingsize bed, balcony and amazing view! Zeno made us feel home straight away, giving us lots of nice tips about Hermanus. Breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked every morning (I especially loved the mushrooms). You can do very nice walks along the coast and in the mountains close by. We even saw some brydes whales!

Best Accomodations!

Such a perfect location, walking distance from the heart of Hermanus. The cliff walk is across the street and you can get anywhere from there. Our hosts were so very helpful when we found out that we had accidentally double booked ourselves because of a connection glitch with the app. They were able to guide us in cancelling the duplicate reservation and followed up to be sure the entire refund came through. A fabulous breakfast too! You will love it here!

Not many people can prepare a poached egg perfect. These eggs were perfect. The food was well presended and tastefull. I can understand why Marlene wouldn't share her mushroom recipe. They went out of their way to accomodate changes in menu due to allergies

A great base for Hermanus

The host was very welcoming and helpful. The room was comfy and the breakfast was great! The Whale is a short walk along the coast to restaurants/ shops and it was easy to get around.

Blackout curtains would have been good (but that's only because I'm not the best sleeper).

Excellent stay at the Whale on Main B&B. Great home and excellent Hosts

Loved staying at the Whale on Main B&B, it felt like home away from home, no crowds, no noisy people and no queue's for breakfast one experiences when staying at a hotel. The hosts Zeno and Marlene are extremely hospitable and attentive to their guests from the moment you arrive explaining everything. Options of what you would like for breakfast is placed in the room that you can select from and at what time you would like breakfast, you drop off your selection at the front desk and in the morning the hosts already know what to prepare for you. The hosts are so attentive and well organized, you do not wait very long for your breakfast to arrive, they really run like a well oiled machine whilst making ones stay so comfortable and homely. The home is modern and the rooms and bathrooms are great in size, modern, clean and airy. The location is great and in close proximity to everything. I will certainly be comming back for more stays.

There is nothing I did not like, I loved everything that the Whale on Main had to offer and Zeno and Marlene are great hosts.
