Whale Rock Luxury Lodge

Perched in Hermanus' Westcliff, steps from New Harbour and the start of the cliff path. A short walk to the cliff edge and a quick drive to town, with Hemel‑en‑Aarde wine country just 2.5 km away — a prime base for whale watching (June–December).

A warm contemporary guesthouse with 17 individually decorated rooms and a newer villa (added 2017). Rooms offer en‑suite bathrooms with separate shower and tub, minibars, flat‑screen TVs and designer toiletries. The property has lush gardens, a koi pond and a fireplace in the lobby — family‑friendly with a kids' playroom.

Two outdoor pools (one solar‑heated and one of the largest in Hermanus), bicycles to rent, signature spa treatments and a massage room, plus a library, picnic and barbecue areas. Concierge and a tour desk can book whale‑watching trips and wine tours — wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and cliff‑path views.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi on the property, luggage storage, dry cleaning/laundry services and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. Free self‑parking onsite and a roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

An on‑site restaurant and two bars/lounges serve guests, with a complimentary full breakfast daily from 8:00–10:00 AM. Easy access to Hemel‑en‑Aarde wineries makes this a great spot for pairing meals with regionally produced wines.
