Baleia Guest Lodge

Travelers should be aware that there is major construction and renovation @ this place. I was told upon check in and I stayed one night as it wasn't refunded. Lots of noise, dust and materials all around so it was impossible to sit outside plus the pool was green from all the debris. There really should have been some notification about the work being done.

I stayed at Baleia de Hermanus for the first time in early December of 2024. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the rooms were neat and clean. The staff also organised an earlier-than-usual breakfast for me as I had to leave early for a golf tournament - this was much appreciated. I look forward to revisiting this quaint and inviting guesthouse in the near future.

We had the family room (No. 6) with two rooms and a bathroom. It has everything you need and the price-performance ratio is right. We paid the equivalent of around 110 francs per night. There was a small pool in the middle of the accommodation and the breakfast was also lovingly prepared. There isn't a huge selection but definitely everything you need. We were able to drop off the laundry to be washed, which we really appreciated. One shirt shrunk, maybe you should only give things that can be washed at at least 50 degrees. Everything else stayed intact and was cleaned. They were also helpful and gave us a map of the region. It was a quiet and clean accommodation. The only thing that bothered us in the morning was the dog that barked because a (not so smart traveler) had locked him inside. Tip: Have a drink in "F*ck's Pool" and walk the Cliff Path. It's easy to find, turn off the main road and there it is. It's also well signposted.
