"Most supportive, genuine staff! Excellent place, if we were staying longer would have explored the spa. Super short walk to see the water. Breakfast was delicious, cooked to order. Great towels and pillows. Bed was very firm, but more than I prefer. The place was pristine, very impressive. Staff got us booked on a whale watching boat ride the night before, allowed us to store luggage before we departed."

"Typical chain hotel with casino. The thermal springs were really good but lack a coffee shop. Restaurants fair but not great. Good Gardens but nowhere to sit. Good value for money."

Clean and comfortable room. Hosts and staff were very attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was delicious w a spread of fresh fruit, yogurt & granola and made to order hot breakfast. We felt very pampered during our short stay at the BnB.
Only thing to note is that when we selected our room there was a picture on Expedia showing a small balcony with ocean views, however our room was not on the oceanview side of the property, but rather on ground level facing a small garden area....

We enjoyed our stay very much. A beautiful and well kept property. Secured parking inside the gate. We had an upstairs room (no elevator) and had help getting our luggage up. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was large. The balcony with the ocean view is worth the extra cost! Walking distance to town with all kinds of stores. We ate at Cafe 1904 and the oxtail (a common dish here) was outstanding, better than at Cape Town. When present, the staff was very friendly and helpful…took a star...

The accommodation were way better than I assumed. Everything is just spotless clean. Very nice and clean inside pool area. Big kitchen for everyone's use. Room and bathroom clean, big and comfortable.
Owners went out of their way to make it a very special stay for us. Just too short. Will stay there again.

The guesthouse was really beautiful and looked as if it was brand new. We only stayed for one night but we got some great tips on what to do in Swellendam and even for the rest of our trip. The breakfast was also really good!
I would definitely recommend to stay here, for the beautiful place and the nice reception by the owner.

Absolutely stunning views. Staff was phenomenal and a seemingly endless breakfast. Only regret was not staying longer. If you’re in the area for shark cage diving this is a no-brainer of a place to stay. Definitely will come back.

We were only looking for an overnight stay while traveling to and from the Garden Route. We were not expecting a "resort" where people stay for several days to enjoy the beauty of the landscaping, pool and personal service. The landscaping was meticulously cared for. As we went to our car to leave an employee was washing our car! How many places do that?

Our stay at Whale Coast Ocean Villa was fabulous! This is the perfect place for exploring the Hermanus Cliff Walk and Grotto Beach. It is beautifully decorated, the breakfast was amazing, the staff warm and welcoming. Our stay was too short. Hope to visit again soon.

It’s a beautiful guest house and in a lovely quiet spot. We were greeted very pleasantly by Dawn(?) who kindly showed us the wonderful facilities. If we ran a guest house this is exactly how we would do it. Our bedroom was beautiful with plenty of room and a very comfortable bed and a lovely shower. The views of the ocean are marvelously relaxing. The guest lounge was fabulous, again very relaxing with tea and coffee available as in the bedroom.

Amazing service, views, access to the cliffs and town.
The rooms were comfortable and quiet!
We would highly recommend and would not consider staying anywhere else. So accommodating and friendly, service with a smile.
Spa was great and very reasonable!
Definitely do at least one dinner with their chef who customized meals to freshest available!
Only wish we could have stayed longer!
