The Whale on Main B&B is an upmarket B&B, located in the seaside village of Hermanus.

We are situated adjacent to the Hermanus golf course, and within walking distance of the town center. The world-famous cliff path is a mere 75 meters away and in season, whales can be viewed from “Die Gang” right across the road.

  • Best place to enjoy Hermanus

Breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked every morning (I especially loved the mushrooms). You can do very nice walks along the coast and in the mountains close by. We even saw some brydes whales!
