Very good location, lovely hostess and delicious breakfast. The only thing that needs to be improved is in the cold season (we were there in winter) the heating in the bathroom would be useful.

We had a great stay at Baleia Guesthouse. Breakfast was very nice with your choice of warm food. Rooms were good and we stayed in a family room. Lots of space and nice beds. Pool area was cozy with a small pool and sun beds around. Perfect for family. My son loved their friendly dog Joey :) Thanks for a great stay!

A Very Easy to find Place

Baleia was easy to find as it was metres off the main road into Hermanus. Very secure parking and easy to access/exit on foot or by car. Characterful rooms - many set around a small courtyard with small pool. Host and staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Value for money.

We had a very comfortable stay at Baleia, from location to breakfast it all contributed to an overall excellent choice. The only downside for us traveling with expensive equipment was that the door lock to the room was very flimsy, but we had no issues.

The property is under construction! Workmen, noise, dirt and debris everywhere! I had one of the two rooms available but truly they shouldn’t be letting out rooms without notifying guests. The pool was green with some of the construction debris in i I cut my stay short

This is NOT a 4 star accommodation ! Rooms are old and need a huge update. Breakfast is poor, Sorry, we are no spoiled travellers, but this is not really reality compared to the reviews and foto’s as shown. I would barely give a 5/10 and that is because it is on walking distance to the centre and the car parking is closed by a gate.
