"We stayed 3 nights in the Grootbos and spent an unforgettable time there. Everything was perfect. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The walks and the safari drive with the guide Tiaan were fantastic. Our cottage ( Nr.24 ) was great. The food was delicious. We hope really to come back soon. A big thank to the whole Grootbos Team for the wonderful stay."

"This was a one of a kind place to stay - very calm & relaxing. Amazing ocean views that we didn’t want to leave. Saw many whales while relaxing inside & outside of the lovely room. We’ll definitely suggest for others to stay here & would do so again as well."

The ocean view was fabulous. Watched a humpback whale while we ate breakfast in the morning.
The room was very comfortable and with the outdoor seating off our room I could have stayed at the room all day watching the ocean.
The staff were very accommodating and friendly.

My wife and I stayed here for one day in September 2016. We highly recommend staying here. The owners are so helpful and wonderful. They went above and beyond to give us a great experience.

A wonderful modern hotel with great ocean views. You can see whales from your room if it's the right time of year. The staff was so welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. VERY good value for the money. One of our favorite rooms in our 4 week stay while trying to stay in all 3 star - more budget type acommodations. This far exceeded our others. Very close to drive to Hermanus, or just whale watch and walk the beach right from here.

The gentleman who greeted us was very helpful in explaining the check in and check out process. This is a very basic stay as a sleep over for your next journey. It was cold, as we stayed in June. However, the electric blanket made it all better.

Great place to stay, and such a wonderful surprise! The apartment (#6) was upstairs, had a large covered patio and great views of the bay. Shower pressure and water temperature were spot on! The owners were very accommodating to our late arrival time. Would definitely recommend this place.

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...

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.

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!
