The Whale on Main B&B

Everything was great - breakfast, accomodation and rooms, view, recommendations! And the hosts Tanja and Otto are so friendly Would come again!

Our stay at this guesthouse was absolutely delightful! The owner is incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was simply outstanding – beautifully prepared with love, featuring fresh, local ingredients and a wonderful variety. The location couldn’t be better: right on the scenic coastal path, ideal for walks with breathtaking sea views. We also received great recommendations for restaurants and local activities. A true gem full of hospitality and comfort – we can’t wait to come back!

Our experience at this charming bed and breakfast was nothing short of perfect. Tanya, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating a memorable stay. The room clean, and incredibly comfortable. We especially appreciated the little touches—fresh flowers, local recommendations, and the host’s delightful conversation that made us feel more like cherished guests than customers. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with top-tier hospitality, look no further. This B&B is a hidden gem, and the host is its heart and soul. We can't wait to return!

Gorgeous place to stay while in Hermanus. Modern and very clean. The atmosphere is super cozy. But above all, we would like to remark the great service given by Tanja, that made our stay perfect! Thanks!

We loved our stay at the Whale On Main. The host is very friendly and welcoming, and went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect for us. Just across the street from accessing the famous cliff walk (breathtaking!). The breakfast is superb! We hope to be back!

Warm host, beautiful room, outstanding breakfast! 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!!
