I booked this place on a recommendation for a previous visitor. I wasn't disappointed. Whilst the property has changed ownership on 2024, Tanya and Thomas are keeping up the high standards. Our room was spotless.

Super clean, bright, comfortable, and a wonderfully helpful host. We felt pampered.

10.0 / 10.0

Our stay was amazing! 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.

Well located, smart and spacious B&B owned and run by a lovely couple. It was a very relaxing place to stay. Home made jam with breakfast was a lovely touch.

5.0 / 10.0

We had the best time at the Whale on Main! Communication was excellent, we were welcomed so warmly by the host (including a glass of Gluhwein!), and she even upgraded our room at no cost! Fantastic local recommendations, cute little honest bar, great reading options, and an OUTSTANDING breakfast cooked to order! Attention to detail was everywhere and we can't say enough about this place. It was just fantastic! Our only complaint is that we only stayed the one night. Thank you for everything! We will be back!!

The Whale on Main is a beautiful house decorated in a modern style. The balconies had sun lounger or chairs where you could sit and relax. The owner, Tanya was very friendly and was always ready with advice on where to go for activities and recommendations of local restaurants. It was lovely to be able to walk along the cliff path which is just over the road.

I think the guest house is perfectly situated half way between the shopping areas and beaches . It has direct access to the cliffpath for a walk or run with beautiful views of Hermanus. The hosts are very welcoming and you really feel at home in their spacious and modern house. The breakfast was delicious! We had a very good time.
