Summary: The good: The Whale's Tale is a stunning-looking modern property that is immaculately maintained on the inside and outside. The property has secure parking for several cars. There are electronic locks on the main entrance and the bedroom doors. We had room 3 to the north of the property that was huge (approx 80 m2). The layout is modern and comfortable. There are windows to 3 sides of the room including a partial sea view. A very good full English cooked breakfast is available. The not so good: Our room was much too warm. The air conditioning is not nearly powerful enough to cope with the size of the room which was uncomfortable throughout the night. We were astonished to find that there is no separate bathroom. There is a shower cubicle in the corner of the room and the toilet is only partially hidden behind this shower unit. The window above the toilet does not open and there is no extractor fan. It is not possible to use the toilet with any degree of privacy. Even after 35 years of marriage, my wife and I have no interest in seeing, hearing or smelling each other poo! This kind of arrangement may not be uncommon in South Africa, but considering that most guests are likely to be European, I cannot imagine this room layout being popular with many guests. The town of Hermanus is spectacularly beautiful along the rugged coastline. We would be happy to return to the town again but would be avoiding the Whale's Tale for the reasons mentioned above.
