Fodor's Expert Review Whale Cottage, Hermanus

38 Westcliff Dr., Hermanus, Western Cape, 7200, South Africa

Decorated in restful shades of blue and white, this is a great base from which to take long whale-watching walks. Ask for a room with a view and put your feet up while you watch the Southern Right whales splashing in the bay below. Alternatively, take a stroll along the nearby whale-watching cliffs. An honor bar and tea and coffee are available throughout the day.

PROS

  • swimming beach within walking distance
  • children welcome

CONS

  • Southern Rights make a lot of noise when they're having a whale of a time
  • only three rooms are sea facing
  • so book early if you want to see the whales
