Unbelievable. Will go back.

Fantastic view with every thought taken for guest comfort and relaxation. Lovely cottage, clean and well-stocked kitchen items for self-catering. I recommend this venue to anyone wanting to view the ocean and waves crashing from your comfortable bed. Four of our days' stay we were able to see whales from the deck of our unit. Unbelievable.

Asemrowend, van die mooiste plekke ooit, ek gaan definitief weer.

Ek sal beslis mense aanraai om bespreking te maak, awesome view, baie netjies, beslis veilig, ek het die rustigheid so waardeer, ons was vriendelik verwelkom. Irene jy's awesome, baie dankie vir al jou hulp, ons kon nie 'n beter keuse gemaak het nie, beslis die moeite werd.

The position on the water is amazing. Fall asleep to the waves and walk on the rocks right outside your glass sliders.

Well appointed. Stunning oceanfront position. The only downside is you drive through the Abalone farms to get there (ugly) but it is not a problem once you arrive in paradise!

Die ligging is fantasties, die oord se diens baie goed. Ons het heerlik gebly.

Die ligging is wonderlik, net jammer dat dit langs die perlemoenplaas is wat jou uitsig bietjie beïnvloed. Een ding wat my as Afrikaanse persoon wat webtuiste en sy kliënte nou al heelwat ondersteun het dwars in die krop steek is die DStv-pakket wat deur die plekke aangebied word wat nie Kyknet 144 insluit nie, asook beperkte sportkanale. Hierdie was nie 'n uitsondering nie en ek laat my nie vertel nie dat die Afrikaanse mark nie 'n groot persentasie van hulle besprekings uitmaak nie. As mens 'n bietjie langer bly wil mens soms 'n bietjie TV kyk.

The location is fantastic, the resort's service very good. We had a wonderful stay.

The location is great, just a shame that it is next to the abalone farm which affects your view a bit. One thing that really bothers me as an Afrikaans person who has supported the website and its customers a lot now is the DStv package offered by the places that do not include Kyknet 144, as well as limited sports channels. This was not an exception and I do not let myself be told that the African market does not make up a large percentage of their bookings. If you stay a little longer, you sometimes want to watch a little TV.

Thank you Michelle for sharing your what you enjoyed!
The farm is only a small and distant aspect of your view if you look along the coast line. And thus is not visible from within the house itself, which offers 180 degrees of open ocean and sunset back drops.
The DSTV package has now been upgraded by the owners agreement, to supply the full view premium package! So that’s news to celebrate!

Hermanus Whale View - Beach Front Cottage is 'n baie pragtige plek met 'n baie mooi uitsig. Die kothuis besit alles wat jy vir 'n vakansie benodig. Vanaf linne tot eetgerei.

Ek sou voorstel dat die uitkloktyd bietjie verleng kan word.

Hermanus Whale View - Beach Front Cottage is a very beautiful place with a very nice view. The cottage has everything you need for a holiday. From linen to cutlery.

I would suggest that the check-out time could be extended a bit.

Thank you Hazel for showing appreciation for tranquil beachfront views and everything that we offer!
We would love to extend the check out time to 10 am however the cleaning company needs enough time to sanitize and flip the unit for the next guest's arrival each day!
Lucky, Hermanus has so much to offer and we are happy to recommend the best brunch restaurants and activities for your check out morning.
Our best and take care!

A beautiful setting on the beach.

Hermanus has areas of safety and not so safe. This area you feel safe in the complex, but would not be able to walk freely surrounding it, so you need to be able to drive.

Beachfront Cottage - Hermanus Whale View 's response

Thank you Robyn for sharing!

We live in the same estate and we can vouch that the security in the estate has not had a breach in over a decade now! This speaks to our peace of mind here.

We do mention that it is 3 km from town center, a short drive away so to walk you would have to pay 3x the price or more for beachfront properties in town center. That said, we offer beach front tranquility for more affordable prices in Hermanus, since we are slightly out of walking range of town.

Our best and take care!

Pragtig by die see, maar die huis het dringende opknapping nodig.

Die perlemoenfabriek doen afbreuk aan die ligging. Die wit matte in die huis is nie prakties nie. Die dek moet dringend herstel en vernis word. Een venster van die slaapkamer is stukkend. Die huis moet geverf word en die geute herstel word. Die tuin word ook afgeskeep.

Beautiful by the sea, but the house needs urgent renovation.

The abalone factory detracts from the location. The white carpets in the house are not practical. The deck is in urgent need of repair and varnishing. One bedroom window is broken. The house needs painting and the gutters repaired. The garden is also neglected.

Dear Pierre.
Thank you for your feedback. The Abalone Farm is nearby, but it does not come into play in the views from the cottage, which are magnificent, and uninterrupted ocean bliss. The deck is made from an expensive Rhodesian Teak that is weather-resistant by nature and does not require oil or varnish. The window we were unaware of has been fixed, and the gutters are now repaired. The estate gardens are rooted in natural, local fynbos that is water-saving for all the water restrictions over the years. They bloom beautifully in their season time with splashes of colour.
Our kindest regards, Samantha & Irene
