Les Baleines has an enviable location nestled between the Overburg Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.
Situated in the heart of South Africa's whale watching area, Les Baleines [French for 'whales'] is a small family-run guesthouse offering stylish accommodation and stunning views.
Whale watching and shark diving excursions can be booked for you locally, ensuring your stay here is as exciting as it is memorable. Back at the hotel, bask in the sunshine on the deck with a drink from the Marlin bar, take a cooling dip in the swimming pool and admire the views over the ocean and the Hermanus mountains.
