Stay in South Africa's whale-watching capital at Abalone Guest Lodge.
Abalone Guest Lodge is an intimate property located on Siever’s Point, between Hermanus town centre and its Blue Flag beaches. From the property, there is direct access to the coastal walking trail where, from June to November, you may be able to see whales and dolphins splashing in the water. Hermanus is one of the few places in the world where you can experience land-based whale watching.
Start your day with a delicious breakfast, keeping an eye on the ocean in case a southern right whale decides to breach. After exploring the area, Abalone’s wellness centre is the place to unwind and where you may wish to try one of the many tempting treatments.
Why we love Abalone Guest Lodge
-
You may be lucky to spot whales breaching from your balcony
-
The guest lodge showcases work from local artists
-
You have direct access to the scenic cliff path which leads to Siever’s Point, a top whale watching spot
-
Outside of whale watching season you can explore Ferncliff Nature Reserve and take tours of the nearby boutique vineyards
Facilities
Start your day with breakfast over looking the ocean. Dinner can be arranged by prior arrangement.
The Abalone Wellness Centre has a small gym, sauna, nail bar and treatment rooms offering TheraNaka™ ginger and lavender massages.
Wander the coastal cliffs looking out for whales and dolphins. This is one of the few places in the world where you can watch whales from the land. Outside of whale watching seasons the fynbos attracts a variety of birds and the region has a number of boutique wineries to visit.
Whale watching season is normally from June to September.
