The Whale on Main B&B

Our group had a pleasant one night stay at Whale - and they had only great stuff to say about it :) It is quiet, very neat and just an overall accommodation choice for when visiting hermanus, be it work or leisure. Great value for money too ＜3

The was a lovely place to stay for our night in Hermanus. The owners, Zeno and Marlene were so welcoming and friendly. The room was great - spacious and spotlessly clean. We managed to see whales from the cliff path and did an early morning whale watching trip that was brilliant. We would not hesitate to recommend The Whale on Main to anybody that is visiting Hermanus.

We booked a stay here before Covid hit, and rebooked it for a year later but still couldn't make it, this year we finally made it and worth the wait it was. The property is stunning and the photos just do not do it justice, we stayed for 3 nights and loved every moment. Attention to detail is thorough right throughout the property as are the hosts, Geno & Marlene. Offering lots of advice about places to see and venues to eat. The property is within easy walking distance of the cliff path where you can either go to Hermanus itself in 30+ minutes or in the opposite direction to Sopiesklip Beach. If you drive into town it's about 5 minutes so all in all a great location. And if you are there at the right time of year there is a good chance of seeing whales from the cliff path and even in Hermanus itself. So if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Hermanus then you won't go far wrong at Whale on Main.

We have had a beautiful time with Zeno and Marlene at their lovely place. It is very clean and the rooms are big - breakfast was really tasty! We have been welcomed so nice, we felt like coming home. Zeno gave us grade advises what to do in Hermanus and we would love to come back for a little longer next time! Thank you for having us!

A super stay we were made to feel very welcome, a lovely well furnished guest house, very comfortable and a breakfast not to be missed. Lovely comfy bed and super hot shower, we will definitely visit again, but for longer next time

This is a great place to stay, not just because the rooms are modern, clean and high quality, but mainly because the hosts are genuinly friendly. From teh moment when we arrived till our departure,our hosts were very customer oriented, offered useful tips and advice (and binoculars to watch the whales). We immediately felt welcome as a person, not as a customer. Thanks Zeno and Marleen.
