Whale Rock Luxury Lodge & Villa

Ficks Restaurant
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.

Quayside Cabin
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.
