Les Baleines Hermanus Villa — Hotel in Overstrand Local Municipality

Teresa Louw offers a very charming and comfortable guest house. Our room looked onto the sea and had it’s own spacious balcony. It is a good distance from the town centre but taxis are plentiful and the cost was 95 rand. There is an excellent coastal path which is easily accessible from Les Baleines and it is about an hour and a half to walk into the centre. However there are numerous benches to sit on and look out to sea.|We used the laundry service which was very good and not very expensive. There is an honesty bar and tea/coffee making facilities. There is a pool and recliners to sit out and relax.|Teresa books all her guests into the Burgundy Restaurant for their first night under no obligation so she’ll cancel if you have other plans. However it is helpful. In the whale season she also books guests onto a whale watching boat, again with no obligation.|She was also very informative about things to see and do in Oudtshoorn which was our next stop.|I have seen other reviews noting disappointment about breakfast - it is a B&B guest house and not a hotel. Guests are offered a full ‘English’ breakfast or elements of. The food is cooked to order.|Some reviewers have said they find Teresa rude - she is vivacious and talkative admitting herself that she can be a bit bossy but her aim is to help.|Highly...

Breakfast adequate but a little over fussy. Tea and coffee facilities in the room which were welcome with a complimentary glass of sherry ( but who drinks sherry these days?). Great pool area to relax by and soak up the sun. As others have stated it is over an hours walk into town, but you can call for a taxi on the house phone for free, which makes sense if you are intending to drink alchohol with your meal, taxi...

Although slightly out of the centre this guest house was fabulous. We had a room which led out on to the deck where the pool was.||||The owner had booked a restaurant for us for the first evening (which could be cancelled if we didn't want it) but it was lovely. A taxi ride into and from town was easy and cheap.||||The second night we walked down and ate at a restaurant on the beach which was good,||||Breakfast was provided - which was good and the room was very comfortable with all the usual amenities provided.||||I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to...
