"Whale Rock Lodge is a lovely place. Very much a home away from home. Staff welcoming and efficient. We had a room in The Villa; a separate building to main house with it's own entrance and car park but only 30 steps to main building. The room and bathroom were large with fridge & tea/coffee making facilities. Good sized balcony with comfortable seating. The 2 pools - larger at main house and one at villa had plenty of sunbeams and other seating. Pleasant sitting rooms in both buildings. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast or buffet style continental. Cliff walk into town takes approx 40 minutes but too far out of town to walk for dinner. No Ubers and only a limited number of taxis in Hermanus."

"This is in the top 3 of the best value for money accommodation we've ever stayed in! Why? The location, the welcome, the room, the SUPERB breakfast, the local knowledge and advice, the electric bikes we hired. And in particular the way hosts Stefan and Nikki interacted with us and the other guests, somehow bringing us all together which enhanced the stay even more.We made some great contacts with people who had stayed at Penguino previously .... which speaks volumes in itself. Hermanus is a lovely, chilled-out place and when we go back we will be staying here again."

"All were very helpful and friendly and gave good advice on eating out options. Also kindly arranged for the International rugby to be on the TV - thats good personal service "

"The good: The Whale's Tale is a stunning-looking modern property that is immaculately maintained on the inside and outside. The property has secure parking for several cars. There are electronic locks on the main entrance and the bedroom doors. We had room 3 to the north of the property that was huge (approx 80 m2). The layout is modern and comfortable. There are windows to 3 sides of the room including a partial sea view. A very good full English cooked breakfast is available. The not so good: Our room was much too warm. The air conditioning is not nearly powerful enough to cope with the size of the room which was uncomfortable throughout the night. We were astonished to find that there is no separate bathroom. There is a shower cubicle in the corner of the room and the toilet is only partially hidden behind this shower unit. The window above the toilet does not open and there is no extractor fan. It is not possible to use the toilet with any degree of privacy. Even after 35 years of marriage, my wife and I have no interest in seeing, hearing or smelling each other poo! This kind of arrangement may not be uncommon in South Africa, but considering that most guests are likely to be European, I cannot imagine this room layout being popular with many guests. The town of Hermanus is spectacularly beautiful along the rugged coastline. We would be happy to return to the town again but would be avoiding the Whale's Tale for the reasons mentioned above. "

"Rudi & Robben were perfect hosts, & even dropped us into town to catch a chemist before it closed. The property is a 15/20 minute walk into Hermanus, and well situated for both the town & new harbour, both which are accessible via the cliff top path. The guest accommodation is seperate to the main house and works well. The rooms are well stocked & clean. We had a lovely break in Hermanus"
