The location is brilliant ; the property beautiful and the room had every attention to detail . Do not stay anywhere else in Hermanus .

They have very nice little touches like high tea with champagne and a glass of port in the evening. They will book you any trip or restaurants you need. Breakfast is very good quality and choice. Location is good right next to the cliff top walk only 15 mins walk to town centre. It is also nice and quiet. I would recommend it.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Happy hour with a complimentary glass of wine and a game of Scrabble was the perfect activity for the rainy day we arrived on. Breakfast was very good, the danishes were the best I’ve ever tasted in my life and I’m slightly embarrassed to say my husband went back for thirds!

Cons: No complaints

Pros: We booked this stay very last minute as we witnessed how gorgeous hermanus was and wanted to stay longer. The guesthouse is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous building with fabulous attention to detail. Staff were lovely. The breakfast was a particular highlight- the nicest we had in South Africa! Wished we had longer to stay there!

Pros: Good location. Great rooms and great service. Breakfast is first class and the staff were all excellent, particularly the manager who went out of her way to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Would definitely go back.

Cons: WiFi inside our room could have been better but didn’t affect the stay. Not there for internet.

Pros: Host was very friendly and went out of her way to make me comfortable. They serve the most delicious breakfast, in particular their fruit salad. What I liked is that I was fully orientated to the guesthouse and invited to sit in the lounge because my room was very small. I cannot complain about it, because I paid a very low price for it. I received a complimentary upgrade on my last night. The hostess was anazing

Cons: The decor in the small room

Pros: Great location, really smart designer boutique hotel

Pros: Yes ! All good but the huge bath in the bathroom is useless! Takes up too much room and with the water situation bathing is not on! Much better to have two sinks. Just a suggestion

Pros: Breakfast ok

Cons: Getting back to the Abalone after 10pm with no staff and no bar facilities having to let yourself into the hotel.

Pros: Great staff

Pros: The guest lodge was located next to the cliff where you had a good view over the bay during breakfast. The stuff was very friendly to help you anytime. The breakfast was very tasty and the furniture classy. We had a nice stay and and can recommemd this accomodation.

Cons: - You’ll need a car to get into the centre of town - wasn’t an issue for us as we were travelling by car. Lovely peaceful neighbourhood with friendly neighbours!

Pros: We had a nice big room. Great breakfast and such a comfortable bed. We were well taken care of.

Pros: Excellent service, the owner was very helpful. She took care that we can still get on a whale tour although basically everything seemed to be sold out. It's a bit out of town, but very close to the marvellous beach. We hiked into town on the beautiful cliff path, which starts only a few minutes from the manor, and retuned by taxi. So despite you want to stay in the middle of the town, location is great. Very good breakfast as well. Should we return to Hermanus (fingers crossed), we'll definitely go back to Lavender Manor.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Very nicely kept facilities. Very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful when we needed information about going into town (about 5 km away). Proximity to Grotto Beach is great if you like to swim and you can watch whales from the rooftop.

Pros: Great staff

Pros: Great hosts. Fantastic location. Fabulous room & breakfast.

Cons: There was nothing to dislike.

All staff super friendly and so helpful, they go above & beyond in everything they do...it felt like I had my own personal staff and they did this for all clients. The lodge felt really homely and welcoming and the food is freshly cooked cooked for you to your own wishes. I have travelled extensively all over the world and have to say this is one of my favourite places, if not my most favourite place I have ever stayed. Am definitely returning to stay there and would recommend to anyone.

Cons: Nothing, couldn't have asked for anywhere better or nicer to stay

Pros: Thank you so so much for such a wonderful stay at your beautiful Guest House, from arriving to checking out our whole experience was wonderful. The facilities, amenities, location, food, and hospitality was 10/10 – I really cannot fault one thing! Our trip to South Africa was made extremely special with the stay at Whale Rock, thank you for this. We cannot wait to share with family, friends, work colleagues and anyone else who will listen to us!! I cannot wait to return Jan 2021 with the family. See you soon! Anna Xx

Pros: The Staff was very friendly. We could check out a little later because my boyfriend doesn't feel good. Thanks for that. The Breakfast is very delicious. Its a good choice to stay in hermanus.

Cons: Its not the latest equipment but very clean. For the "good " Coffee you have to pay.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I liked the location and the facilities

Cons: I reserved two rooms and they had only one ready and the hotel was full. I had to wait one hour after they added two additional beds to the available room. I asked the staff to book a table at the hotel restaurant and when we arrived they had not a reservation for us. We had to wait again until they had a table available. Very poor service.

Pros: Very friendly staff.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Such a nice iconic hotel in a superb location on the cliff tops... it us a top quality hotel with really nice rooms.... staff have made us feel so welcome .

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hot breakfast was excellent. Staff are very friendly.

Cons: The hotel does not live up to a 5 star status. At best it is a 4 star establishment. It just lacked that little spark and finishing touch to make it a five star hotel. Room was a bit basic.

Pros: Location overlooking the sea was beautiful. Room was beautiful and staff couldn’t have been anymore helpful. We didn’t want to leave.

Cons: Complimentary mini bar a lovely idea but only stocked beer. We would have liked a little bottle of wine even if it was extra.

Pros: The position is excellent. The public rooms and the food is really good. The pool area is fine.

Cons: The top management was ineffectual.

Pros: Location cannot be beat. One of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had. The restaurant's food is exceptional, although the service can be a bit slow at times. Many thanks for the extra touches during our honeymoon stay.

Cons: Because the building is a bit older than most, footsteps above can be loudly heard on the lower floors.

Pros: Lovely big room with stunning view, very comfortable bed; great communal lounge/tea area with pretty flower arrangements (proteas) and friendly staff

Cons: The service in the bar & dinner restaurant was slow

Pros: A beautiful location with a clean and modern room overlooking the lagoon and mountains.

Cons: The food at the restaurant was a bit overpriced for a local South African and was average in taste.

Pros: The spa and the ladies that work there are absolutely phenomenal. The heated pool and treatments were bliss. Check-in experience was absolutely terrible, but after that, service from the staff, is excellent and friendly. Breakfast is also very good with a lot of variety.

Cons: When ourselves and our friends arrived at 13.40, we were informed that our rooms were not ready and that we had to wait for 14:00 check in (in a disappointingly unfriendly manner). At 14.15, our rooms were still not ready. No attempt was made to offer us alternative rooms. We were extremely tired and dirty after finishing Wines2Whales cycle race and expected a superior experience from this upscale and albeit very expensive hotel. Eventually, one of our rooms were ready and we were offered an alternative room for our friends, after being adamant that, if check-in is stated as 14.00, this should be planned for and offered. On entering the booked room, the bed was made as a twin bed, and not as a kingsize bed, as requested on our booking. This was rectified quite quickly, but, after the terrible experience at the check in desk, marred our experience at the hotel even more. We had to ask for the gowns in the rooms, as each room had only one. Unfortunately, what should have been an absolute breeze and spoil, turned into a tainted mediocre experience. We do not often go the expense of staying at an expensive and upscale hotel, which made the disappointment even worse.

Pros: The rainforest spa treatment, the pooll area and the gym

Cons: We requested an extra sofa, we had a late check-in +/- 22h00 but when we arrived in our room the extra bed wasn't made up. The same happened the following night

Pros: Great if you are playing golf. Else avoid !

Pros: Facilities. Views. Food.

Cons: Aircon in rooms didn’t work. Staff weren’t proactive in their service.

Pros: We loved the staff welcome throughout our stay, they were all warm, friendly and professional. Out bedroom was so so comfortable with a huge bed in a spacious room and a very spacious two sinked bathroom, with everything you could possibly need for a three day stay , fantastic! The spa facilities were marvelous at the end of day out or around the pool together with wonderful and relaxing massage/facials on offer. The restaurant provided lots of choice both in food and wine and was always fresh and a reasonable price. Breakfasts were amazing!! We will return.

Cons: There was nothing that we didn’t like.

Cons: The staff tried to charge us for breakfast knowing it was included in our package

Pros: the breakfast was fantastic and very filling. we were received with great courtesy on our arrival at reception and felt at home immediately

Cons: Nothing it was all brilliant !

Pros: Beautiful environment. Room is spacious and very comfortable to stay in. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom is spacious with a lovely bath and shower. Was nice to get plunger coffee in the room. Breakfast was delicious.

Cons: It was not worth it to pay more for a front room because one could not see much of the sea. Next time I will ask for a room on the first floor.

Pros: Secure parking, great breakfast.

Cons: Owner asking us to leave the bar area at 21h40. Could be more polite instead of treating us like children. We were just 1 couple and well behaved and not causing a desturbance.

Cons: There was nothing we didn't like about it.

Pros: Close to walk to Hermanus centre, but far enough away to be quiet, the location for us was perfect. The hotel is family owned and run and the staff were all efficient, attentive and friendly. The room was large and had a nice seating area on its own private veranda. The bed was comfortable and large. The bathroom was large with bath and shower (we only used the shower). There were just a few tatty areas in the bathroom, a bit of work would sort things out, but nothing to worry about. Breakfast was served in the restaurant just outside the hotel and was plentiful and decent quality. Coffee was great. We didn’t use the pool as it was raining!

Cons: A small upgrade of decor, especially in the bathroom would be nice.

Pros: Spacious room, great atmosphere and very attentive host. Breakfast was amazing and the host kindly accommodated our earlier departure time.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Nothing ... except the pretty decor

Cons: Terrible Service -The manager on premise was quite rude and not very helpful. She was quite curt. It was as though she just wanted to hand over the room keys and be done with the job. Does not even help guest settle in No value for money - Paid ~2500 ZAR per night and coffee pods was chargeable. All other hotels we stayed at didn't charge for the coffee pods Was were very surprised to hear a stern warning of not to download movies We requested for packed breakfast as we were leaving early next morning and there was no such option This inn does not have a lift. Carrying luggage to the first floor can be quite daunting as the staircase is very narrow .

Pros: We were pleasantly surprised with the facilities at this property. The personal touch was amazing. The attention to details were excellent. This property has an awesome location to compliment. We tried 7 hotels across South Africa and this was the best experience. Special compliments to Gayle and her team.
