Whale Rock Luxury Lodge & Villa, with its large white characteristic buildings and on the original Lodge buildings, thick heavy thatch roofs, has an air of welcome, warmth and well being. Located at the Westcliff end of town, the Lodge is central to every activity in and around Hermanus.

In December 2017, a new Villa was added to the property, with another 6 rooms/suites, of which 3 beautifully contemporary decorated, spacious Walker Bay Suites, 2 Patio Deluxe Rooms and a Pool Suite. The Villa can also be rented exclusively for a group of 12 pax. Whale Rock Lodge & Villa now boasts a total of 17 spacious en-suite rooms and suites with  king size beds, elegantly decorated in a contemporary style. 

Electricity Back-up

We have recently installed an electricity Back-up system with solar panels, inverter and battery at our Villa, which means the Villa is running even more sustainable and "Green" but it also means that everything is still working there is so-called "loadshedding"/planned Power Outages.

The rest of the lodge is supported by 2 generators which are switched on when there is "loadshedding"/planned Power Outages. But we only switch these on between 7h00 -22h00 if needed.The generators supply all lights and plugpoints.

Whale Rock is the perfect base from which to explore the Overberg, offering every luxury, personal care and attention to detail, ensuring a tranquil and memorable holiday.

For guests travelling onto Stellenbosch, our sister establishment, Wedgeview Country House & Spa, is an outstanding choice.
