Es ist richtig lecker und wird liebevoll serviert. - In der gesamten Unterkunft spürt man die Liebe zum Detail- z.B. durch ausgewählte lokale Produkte ##### Hannah Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole 19 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr herzlicher Empfang, super nette Gastgeber, die gerne bei der Reiseplanung unterstützen, soweit dies gewünscht wird.

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. ##### Allison Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 28 Oct 2025 Liked: Amenities Well located, smart and spacious B&B owned and run by a lovely couple.
