Summary: Sadly there were two very big problems with Whale Rock.
1. It was about 200yds from a huge and filthy township. The approach was through this which was very frightening. We felt it dangerous to go out unless by car.
2. It is advertised as per person, so be careful when booking. We didn’t realise and were surprised when we were charged almost £200 a night, which is definitely way over the top for this place, which is not spectacular and so close to a township.

Summary: Whale Rock Lodge is a lovely place. Very much a home away from home. Staff welcoming and efficient.
We had a room in The Villa; a separate building to main house with it's own entrance and car park but only 30 steps to main building.
The room and bathroom were large with fridge & tea/coffee making facilities. Good sized balcony with comfortable seating.
The 2 pools - larger at main house and one at villa had plenty of sunbeams and other seating.
Pleasant sitting rooms in both buildings.
Excellent freshly cooked breakfast or buffet style continental.
Cliff walk into town takes approx 40 minutes but too far out of town to walk for dinner. No Ubers and only a limited number of taxis in Hermanus.
