We stayed at Les Baleines for two nights as part of a tour of South Africa. The hotel is lovely with beautiful accommodation and stunning views of the bay and mountain. The two lounges are extremely comfortable with amazing views, a really relaxing environment at the end of a long day. As we were on a tour we did not... More

A picturesque quiet location on a hillside outside of main town. Great and stunning views of the coast and mountains behind. Beautiful property with spacious rooms and plenty of areas to relax both inside and out. Host was extremely welcoming and shared some very interesting family history. We stayed 2 nights but would have enjoyed longer.

We stayed here at the start of March, not knowing what to expect. We arrived for a one night stay, and were given a comprehensive tour of the property and encouraged to enjoy the facilities. Our room was in the annexe and was spacious and welcoming with all the appropriate facilities(tea coffee etc.) and the proptietor had made us a... More

At first we wondered where we going as Les Baleines is at the top of a hill, however the view is really worth climbing up, however you are better off using the car rather than walking. The hotel is extremely clean and the ladies who work there are very helpful and the owner can't do enough for you.

We were booked into Les Baleines for 2nights on a B&B basis in late January 2013. The boutique experience is special, personal and cosy. There are only 7 or 8 rooms so it is in no way a busy place. It is situated quite a few miles east of the centre of Hermanus, but if you have car, and that... More

We recently stayed at Les Baleines guest house for 2 nights. The accommodation itself is peaceful with décor to match the location. Our deluxe room was wonderfully designed, we were particularly taken by the very contemporary bathroom. The breakfast was modest but met our needs perfectly. The manager had already made reservations for our 2 night stay at local restaurants... More

From the moment we walked in, we felt we were in a special place. Upgraded to a deluxe room with contemporary and tasteful decor, luxury bathroom and views over the ocean. We were booked into Lizette's restaurant which proved to be a great recommendation. The following morning we took a peaceful walk down to the beach, before enjoying an elegant... More

The guest house was very sweet. Great views. Good recommendation for restaurent in the area and kindly made us a reservation in advance. Breakfast was generous and promptly served in the morning. Sadly we could not experience a boat trip of any kind as the seas were just too rough and we only stayed for one night. Little bit further... More
