Les Baleines Guest House

“Les Baleines” is set amidst the sloping Maanskyn mountain s and the blue ocean of the Atlantic, one of the most scenic areas in South Africa and one of the world’s most famous areas for Whale watching. The whales come so close to shore, you can almost touch them. “Les Baleines” touches on the majestic Maanskyn (Moonshine) Mountains and is but a stone’s throw from hiking paths for either the adventurous or simply an easy evening stroll.

All the beaches are within a 3-minute stroll. Beautiful cliff paths line our coast for scenic walks. We are close to town approximately 5 minutes by car. In Hermanus we offer excellent cuisine and there are a variety of restaurants scattered all over town. Guests need not be concerned about facilities, Hermanus has it all; from beauty treatments to art galleries, museums and we have a lovely 18-hole golf course. The famous Arabella Spa is only 25 minutes away for a day of special indulgence. Our Hemel and Aarde valley has some world-renowned wines and these estates can be visited by arrangement. For the not so energetic our beaches are superb and can be enjoyed at your own leisure. Hikes and jogging routes can also be planned individually. Cold winter days are our speciality, huge log fires and fine red wine. For the more adventurous shark viewing and cage diving can be arranged.
