Un endroit parfait pour admirer les baleines, marcher le long de la côte, accidentée et mystérieuse. Présence d'animaux qui donnent beaucoup de charme aux lieux. Piscine agréable, personnel charmant, terrasse pour le petit-déjeuner (mais qualité des produits perfectible). Mais bon, charmant quand même :) Perfect place to spot whales, walk by the rocky coastline filled with mystery. The wildlife conveys... More

We only stayed on night at Abalone but it has a great location right on the coast. You can go out the back gate straight onto the coastal walk. Our room was comfortable and clean and great value for money for the price. The staff were really helpful and made restaurant recommendations and called tour companies on our behalf. We'd... More

I loved the beach feel to the room with it's azure color scheme, quite lovely and cozy. Catching a taxi into town is your best bet as it's a bit far for a walk, but there is a trail to the rocky and gorgeous beach not far away. It was a bit chilly and rainy, but I would have loved... More

We stayed here for 2 nights. It was quiet, clean, and the staff was very nice. It's a little far out of the main part of town, so if you like to walk, you can do so along the ocean walk and it'll take you about 20-30mins at a good walking pace. You can also take a taxi there in... More

What a stylish place with a beautiful view. The only thing I could stay a bad word about it is we only stayed one night. One is greeted by excellent staff who make you feel extremely welcome.The place offers secure parking and rooms with private entrances. The decor is absolutely stylish and offer the relaxed beach decor. On arrival you... More

A warm welcome awaited us when we arrived after a long, tiring journey. Our rooms were clean and fresh; the comfortable beds and pillows ensuring a good night's sleep. We awakened to a spectacular ocean view: our double balcony ensuring a 180 degree wraparound view. A substantial breakfast was served on the terrace overlooking the beautiful garden with its gate...

We stayed for 2 nights in april as part of a trip to the Western Cape and we found that it was a lovely base to explore Hermanus and the nearby Gansbaai. The staff were very attentive and knew the local area well. Hermanus is a lovely town, a short walk along the cliff tops from Abalone - quite touristy... More

Recently I had the pleasure of staying at Abalone with my family. Despite it not being whale season we still enjoyed it immensely. The staff were very welcoming, polite and friendly and we felt very much at home. The lodges location is great, lovely walks along the rocks and close enough to town. The room, No 9, was spacious and... More
