Rooms with Ocean Views

The Abalone Guest Lodge has 5 individually decorated rooms, each with a private balcony or patio. Rooms feature South African artwork, high ceilings, and en-suite bathrooms with free-standing tubs and large showers. Ocean View Suites offer panoramic sea views, and some rooms have a glass window in the bathroom overlooking the ocean. All rooms include a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary Africology toiletries.

Breakfast and Dinner

Breakfast is served daily with a buffet of fresh fruit, cereals, and pastries, plus a menu of cooked options like the Walker Bay Breakfast. Dinner is available on request, prepared by an external chef offering a tasting menu or barbecue. The dining room has glass doors that fold back, and whales can sometimes be seen from the terrace during breakfast.

Pool, Spa, and Walks

The hotel has a heated saltwater pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. The wellness center offers spa treatments, massages, a sauna, and a fitness center. The Cliff Path starts right behind the lodge, a 12-km coastal walk that leads to Hermanus town or Grotto Beach. Guests can also use the honesty bar by the pool.

Location and Transport

Abalone Guest Lodge sits on the cliffs at Sievers Point, overlooking Hermanus Bay. It is midway between the town center and the sandy beaches. The Cliff Path is directly in front of the hotel, a prime spot for land-based whale-watching. Walker Bay Nature Reserve, Fernkloof Nature Reserve, and the Whale Museum are nearby. Secure on-site parking is free. Ubers are available to get into town.

Services and Amenities

The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, and turn-down service with thoughtful nightly amenities. Guests have access to a concierge, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and private check-in/check-out. Room service is available, and the honesty bar is stocked with drinks. The wellness center offers spa treatments, massages, and a couples massage. Laundry and ironing services are available. The property has CCTV and key access for security.

“The location directly on the cliff path in Hermanus provides unparalleled ocean views, a significant draw for this lodge. Rooms, especially those facing the sea, are noted for their spaciousness and stylish bathrooms, though the absence of air conditioning might be a consideration. The staff consistently draw praise for their helpfulness, contributing to a particularly welcoming atmosphere, and the breakfast spread is a strong point.”
