Walking the famous Hermanus Cliff Path is one of the most amazing and spectacular walking path's in the world and can be enjoyed by young and old. The Cliff Path takes you the Hermanus New Harbour, approx. 200 m from the Whale Rock Lodge entrance, all the way across to Grotto Beach on the other side of Hermanus which is approx. 14,5 km's
Whale Watching
Hermanus is known as the Whale Watching Capital of the world with some of the best land-based Whale Watching spots. But besides the land-based Whale Watching you can also do Boat-based whale watching in the Walker Bay which gives you an amazing experience.
We have got a close working relationship with Souther Right Charters who are based in the New Harbour, which is situated just across the road for Whale Rock Luxury Lodge at approx. 200 m.
The whale seen most frequently in the Walker Bay area is the Southern Right Whale, but other species do make an appearance occasionally. The whales start arriving in May in order to calve and to mate in the shallow water. Peak time for whales at any one time is October, but many can still be seen in November, tailing off in December.
Humpbacks migrate through the region between May and December each year, while Bryde's whales are found slightly futher offshore all year round. Occasional sightings of Killer Whales have been made. Dolphin species which may be seen in the region include the endemic Heavisides dolphin, Bottlenose dolphin and Common dolphins.
The first Whale Crier in the world is not only a major attraction but keeps visitors informed as to where the whales can be seen when he does his rounds every day. The sound of his kelp horn has become a characteristic of the charm of this seaside resort during the whale season.
A whale watching hotline provides visitors who wish to travel to Hermanus and environs with up to the minute information on the whereabouts of the whales ( 0283122629 ). Walker Bay is one of the favoured bays for Southern Right Whales to calve and mate and between September and November sitings are practically guaranteed on a daily basis.
The Hermanus Wine Route can be found along the Walker Bay Wine District’s famous R320 and meanders through the picturesque area known as the Hemel-en-Aarde Area.
This wine route unites the passion and reputation of fifteen wineries, each growing small volumes of premium quality wine in carefully and sustainably managed vineyards. While these wines draw wine lovers from all over the world, the pristine shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the towering mountain ranges and fynbos-clad hills add to the attraction – to guarantee visitors to the Hermanus Wine Route a memorable experience.
Some personal favourites are Creation, Ataraxia, Newton Johnson, Bouchard Finlayson and Hamilton Russel Vineyards.
Golfers can enjoy 2 superb golf courses in Hermanus, The Hermanus Golf Club and of course the Championship Course of Arabella just outside Hermanus.
In 2006, this classic country course of Hermanus Golf Club has undergone a major overhaul with the introduction of nine new holes, based around a new real estate component, and the charming and gentle layout of the past has been replaced with modern classically designed holes, that have added much to both the visual and challenging aspects of the course, without losing any sense of its former tradition. This tradition, created by original designer Bob Grimsdell, which was based around the gentle mountain surrounds, sea views and country hospitality, and though those ingredients remain, this golfing venue has truly reached a new level. This is not surprising, as South Africa’s foremost golf course architect, Peter Matkovich, was retained to infuse his special brand of flair and experience to maximise the potential on this scenic and gentle landscape. The flair is immediately noticeable in the use of new water and rocky features, as well as the introduction of visually pleasant grassy mounds adding definition and shape to the holes.
The Arabella Country Estate is home to one of the top ranked golf courses in South Africa, with pristine grass, tricky sand traps and challenging water hazards on the golf estate. The Arabella golf course was recently voted the 4th best golf course in South Africa.
The golf estate course was designed by Peter Matkovich, a highly acclaimed golf course designer with serious architectural talent.
The Arabella Golf Club has been enjoyed by holiday makers, celebrities and professional golfers like Ernie Els and Gary Player. On this golf estate, we believe that every game is a true sporting experience, and that it should be savoured and enjoyed.
This is why the Arabella golf estate is ranked as the fourth best golfing experience by a top rated golfing magazine.
The golf course itself is an 18 hole masterpiece, a Par 72 championship course that you won’t find anywhere else in Africa. Among our golf estate awards and distinctions, is our 18th hole, which was voted the best finishing hole in South Africa.
We have also been congratulated by the golfing community for our stunningly scenic surrounds. With a flowing river and a mountain backdrop to your game, this golf estate will give you all the fresh air and sunshine you could ever want.
Hermanus is known as the Rivièra of the Cape with it's lovely beaches and bays, like Langbaai, Kammabaai and the Blue Flag and well known Grotto Beach, which is great for swimming and boarding.
Historic Hermanus landmark Ficks Pool has been upgraded with an exciting new restaurant, Ficks.
The restaurant offers a range of Pinchos which are small sized meals inspired by a Nothern Spain cuisine. These flavour filled dishes are prepared by Chef Fadzi and Sous Chef Susan who's passion, creativity and effort is sure to be present in every bite and bring you an unforgettable dining experience. The size of these dishes encourages the ordering of a variety of plates and sharing them between your friends and family.
You are able to enjoy this fresh and exciting cuisine while relaxing on the wooden decks on the edge of Ficks pool, overlooking the endless beauty of the ocean and the it's surrounds while the waves crash into the rocks. In the late winter months you might even spot one or two of our giant ocean friends, the Southern Right Whales.
The restaurant is completely open air and will not be open for trade during days with rainy weather or extreme winds.
Due to this, Ficks is unable to accommodate reservations and private functions and will work on a first come, first serve basis only.
This lovely restaurant is located in the New Harbour which is within a 5 minute walk from the Lodge. The Rock restaurant is situated on the top of the cliff overlooking the Hermanus harbour. This is the ideal setting to take in the breathtaking 180 degree sea views across the bay.
The menu consists of freshly caught fish, meat and superbe Sushi for the Sushi lover.
This "seafood only" restaurant, Quayside Cabin, is located in the New Harbour which is within a 5 minute walk from the Lodge. Quayside Cabin is interestingly decorated with fishermen's memorabilia.
The menu is surprisingly large (despite the fact that the restaurant is only a 65 seater), and it is one of only a few restaurants in Hermanus that serve locally caught Perlemoen. Starter recommendations are undoubtedly the Calamari (either deep-fried or as a steak), the smoked Snoek Samoosas, and the Oysters which are harvested just metres away.
The Burgundy is located on the very edge of the bay and only a few metres away from Hermanus’s historic Old Harbour. The restaurant is approx. 5-10 min's drive and 30 min's walk.
The Burgundy is well known for the amazing dishes they serve, the beautiful view and the lovely atmosphere. Dishes range from fresh seafood to perfectly grilled steak to tasty vegetarian dishes
Origin at the Marine is located close to the Old Harbour, in the Marine Hotel within a 5-10 minute drive from the Lodge.
The menu’s delicate and intricate dishes, paired perfectly with locally produced wines, reflect the Overberg and its distinct flavours and terroir.
La Pentola is a fusion cuisine restaurant located next to the Old Harbour. La Pentola’s culinary roots are drawn from French, Italian and rich Mediterranean flavours, fused with the best local produce available. All dishes are freshly prepared - no MSG or artificial flavouring is used in any of their cooking.
La Pentola is the go-to place in Hermanus for delicious meat and game dishes. While enjoying your tasteful dish, you will have a beautiful view over the ocean.

Five Shy Meerkat tours
Five Shy Meerkat Tours – Original Tours Since 2004
The most popular of our activities we offer are without a doubt the daily wild habituated meerkat tours. These tours that commence only at sunrise are dependent on fair weather, since these little creatures will not venture outside their burrows on cold and rainy days. (No tours on rainy days & Christmas day).
Meerkats are part of the so-called Shy 5 which also includes the bat-eared fox, the aardvark, porcupine and aardwolf.
The meerkat tours last between 2-3 hours and booking is essential. Upon arrival at the meerkat burrows, guests are treated to a hot cup of coffee, after which they are issued with a lightweight aluminium chair to sit in while observing the meerkats as they come out of the burrow into the sunshine and then go about their daily routine of foraging and frolicking. These habituated wild animals are never fed or handled by humans.
Tours are presented by JD Glinister, and his team. It is a fantastic experience & unique privilege to get this close to these little creatures in the wild.
Tours starts at sun rise.
Meeting point 9km outside Oudtshoorn on the R62 - entrance to the right.
De Windpomp Restaurant
De Zeekoe has all the “ingredients” for a great restaurant: a beautiful setting with great views; skirted by an expanse of lawn and views of the Outeniqua mountains.
At De Zeekoe our food philosophy is using fresh, local ingredients and preparing them simply delicious and deliciously simple. Fresh herbs are picked daily from our garden and used in most of the dishes we serve. We prepare and produce our own olives and honey (when in season).
In the kitchen we prefer homemade products as far as possible. We make our own olive paste, bake bread and prepare our own sauces. The produce we can’t make or grow ourselves, we source locally. Since the area is known for its ostriches, we try and do our best to introduce this very healthy and delicious meat to our guests.
On this menu we strive to provide a balanced variety of meals, taking into account the dietary needs of all our guests. Included are gluten free vegetarian options made with superfood, that can replace any type of meat, even on a meat lovers plate! We continually test new recipes and new ideas to keep our menu fresh.

Become part of Africa as you experience our Big 5 Safari Adventure on malaria free Amakhala Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape of South Africa..
Included in your stay are morning and evening game drives leaving from your lodge. You will be guided by informative, professional rangers through Amakhala Game Reserve in open Land Rovers. Here you can return to nature and explore the abundant wildlife, the diverse vegetation and the dramatic landscape of the Eastern Cape.
*Due to the water level of the river the boat is not operational*
A nice alternative during lengthy stays on the Amakhala Game Reserve is our river cruise. The boat meanders down the Bushman’s river, beaming with incredible bird and plant life. The cruise is between 30 to 40 minutes to be enjoyed at your leisure with mouth-watering snacks and ice cold beverages. Perfect way to spend your day during the warm weather. All river cruises are made by prior arrangement.
