Great stay at Whale Coast Ocean Villa. Superb bedroom, fully furnished. The house (8 bedrooms) is very well protected, you really feel safe there. There is a private parking for your car, inside the property. For dinner, you need to have a car to go to the city center (for example), all the restaurants are there. There is a full breakfast, with buffet and ''à la carte'' menu. Excellent. We had a friendly chat with our host who made appreciated efforts to speak english so that, us, French, could easily understand. Thanks for that ! We need to come back in Hermanus in Aug or Sept (in 2 years time) to see the whales, they are apparently next door to the house :)
