Les Baleines

Le Baleines welcomes you to Hermanus in the Overberg, the capital of whale watching. We are set between the slopes of the Maanskyn Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The majestic Maanskyn Mountains are a stone's throw from hiking trails which are excellent for an evening stroll or for more adventurous visitors who would like to explore the mountain range. The beach is within a three-minute walking distance.

We are eager to make your stay unforgettable by creating an atmosphere of indulgence and relaxation, whether it is on the sunny pool deck or in the privacy of your room. For the more energetic guests, there are various excursions and opportunities we can arrange.

The bar and billiard room has a cosy atmosphere and is set next to a secluded garden with typical African solitude and grace. The pool area offers beautiful sea views over the entire bay, with comfortable reclining deck chairs and separate tables and chairs. Les Baleines and the Les Baleines Annex and Family Wing are joined by a bridge on the pool decks, enabling guests to use either of the two pool areas or lounges and decks for whale watching.

Hermanus offers excellent cuisine with a variety of restaurants scattered around the town. Hikes and jogging routes can be planned individually, as well as shark viewing and cage diving by prior arrangement. We offer secure parking and airport transfers on request only.
