We stayed at the Whale Away for 2 nights and had the spectacular honeymoon-suite. The room itself and the guest house in general are very nice and the huge bathroom of the suite is just incredible. The breakfast is good and the location is nice, too. There is a view of the sea from the balcony, yet the sea is... More

We were pleased to find that we were on the way out of Hermanus on Main road as this was the quieter part of town.The road was a bit busy in the morning and traffic woke me a couple of mornings. I would ask for a room at the back if I returned although the rooms at the front had... More

Set just outside the town by the cliff path the views are magnificent. The walk along the path into town is great and we saw whales every time we took it. Estha, the owner, is very obliging and does great breakfasts. The standard of the room is very good and we had a balcony with views of the ocean.

Just perfect, our stay at whale away. Very nice views and just a short walk to the ocean. Immediately we saw what we came for, whales. Excellent rooms in a modern but cost style. And a perfect breakfast before we left. Thanks for arranging the whale tour which was excellent.

The staff were friendly, but we were a little annoyed that they are so inflexible- breakfast is only served between 9&10am. This is no good, if like... More

Stayed here last Nov 2010 for one night only (unfortunately!). Room are big and modern and clean and well furnished. The location is superb, just a short walk to the cliff and whales should be there! The staff is really nice and attentive (typical ZA style!), breakfast is really good. They should only give free wireless to be almost perfect... More

The whale away is a nice small guesthouse with very nice rooms. The breakfast including hot and cold dishes was fantastic. Parking space is available directly before the house. However the homepage gives the impression, that it is much closer to the sea as it is in reality. From our room booked explicitly including sea view we only could spot... More

My husband & I have just returned from our visit to South Africa, during which we stayed at Whale Away for three nights. We were very happy with the lovely room & en-suite we were given- very nice bed linen, everything spotlessly clean, extremely friendly & helpful staff (both the manager, who make some phonecalls on our behalf, as well...

Stayed for 3 weeks at this guest house and felt like home. Guest House is very modern, clean and runned by a very friendly host. The Guest House is situated at walking distance from the centre and awarded with a beautifull coastal view.
