Whale Coast, Western Cape hotel rooms at the Independent

"Staff were all wonderful!! Easy walking into town, but also excellent coastal views right from the property!"

"Great property, location, food and staff"

"loved our overnight stay, wonderful views of the ocean and mountains. the unit is beautifully decorated with everything you need. very central and easy to walk to restaurants etc. staff were excellent, very helpful. only point to improve is on sustainability, be great if drinking water was not in plastic bottles and invest in coffee plungers rather than disposable pods."

"We had the best time at the Whale on Main! Communication was excellent, we were welcomed so warmly by the host (including a glass of Gluhwein!), and she even upgraded our room at no cost! Fantastic local recommendations, cute little honest bar, great reading options, and an OUTSTANDING breakfast cooked to order! Attention to detail was everywhere and we can't say enough about this place. It was just fantastic! Our only complaint is that we only stayed the one night. Thank you for everything! We will be back!! "

"Excellent staff, service and location. "

"A beautiful property in a great location overlooking the Cliff Path Walk that takes you directly to Hermanus. A view to die for. During whale season - you can see whales out in the bay from your room. Wonderful and gracious service. Excellent breakfast’s and spectacular art work throughout the property. Was everything we hoped for and more. The staff was great and arranged all our area activities. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. "

"Well located, excellent staff, nice room. Well worth a return."
