Wonderful place, clean and friendly, many extra touches that make it very special!

Outstanding welcome from the owners. Fabulous location for the Cliff walk which was absolutely stunning. Little touches that made our stay special. Breakfast was amazing and the porridge was delicious! Off road safe parking👍 Our room was beautiful overlooking the mountains with a large veranda. More like a 5 star suite. Gorgeous room scents! Cant recommend highly enough. We loved Hermanus & the Whale on Main❤️

Overall, from our welcome to our farewell, our hosts and their hardworking team made us feel right at home (away from home)! Everything was excellent during our three night stay - the guest house in general, our spacious room, the delicious and abundant breakfasts, the relaxing shared common spaces, the secure grounds, plus the appreciated local knowledgeable assistance we received. Our expectations were high and were then exceeded. Yes, we indeed recommend this wonderful guest house!

Spotless room, great service and perfect hosts.

I booked this place on a recommendation for a previous visitor. I wasn't disappointed. Whilst the property has changed ownership on 2024, Tanya and Thomas are keeping up the high standards. Our room was spotless.

Super clean, bright, comfortable, and a wonderfully helpful host. We felt pampered.

Our stay was amazing! We were in and out, staying just one night, but loved our stay at The Whale on Main. Thomas was an amazing host, he walked us through where to go in town and what to see. And as we were leaving, he helped us plan the path we should take to our next destination. He even printed out a map for us that included all the stops! I would absolutely recommend staying here for a wonderful visit to Hermanus.

Well located, smart and spacious B&B owned and run by a lovely couple. It was a very relaxing place to stay. Home made jam with breakfast was a lovely touch.

We had the best time at the Whale on Main! Communication was excellent, we were welcomed so warmly by the host (including a glass of Gluhwein!), and she even upgraded our room at no cost! Fantastic local recommendations, cute little honest bar, great reading options, and an OUTSTANDING breakfast cooked to order! Attention to detail was everywhere and we can't say enough about this place. It was just fantastic! Our only complaint is that we only stayed the one night. Thank you for everything! We will be back!!

Tanya really looked after us. Breakfast was lovely

Really comfortable and spotlessly clean, excellent breakfast and friendly helpful host. Definitely on our go back to list.

The Whale on Main is a beautiful house decorated in a modern style. The balconies had sun lounger or chairs where you could sit and relax. The owner, Tanya was very friendly and was always ready with advice on where to go for activities and recommendations of local restaurants. It was lovely to be able to walk along the cliff path which is just over the road.

Very clean and huge room. Very Nice host

Really enjoyed staying at Whale on Main....such spacious rooms with comfy beds and great bathrooms.....perfect for our 2 night stay! Lovely breakfast too! Thank you!

We were made welcome from the moment we arrived by both our hosts and their staff.Accommodation was clean/tidy and to a high spec.Hosts were happy to offer advice on anything at all.The property is a stones throw from the beaches and wonderful cliff top path.Lovely brekkie.

Great place to stay. Large spacious room. Modern convinces like usb plug in on the outlets. Very likeable host that made an excellent breakfast. Would definitely stay there again.

I think the guest house is perfectly situated half way between the shopping areas and beaches . It has direct access to the cliffpath for a walk or run with beautiful views of Hermanus. The hosts are very welcoming and you really feel at home in their spacious and modern house. The breakfast was delicious! We had a very good time.

Excellent In every way! Highly recommend.

Stay was very brief but very nice. The B&B was of a very high standard, large rooms, very modern and nicely laid out. Breakfast was tastey and good size portions. Owners were very friendly and helpful.
