We would absolutely and without a doubt stay in this property again. It exceeded our expectation not only for the great location and views but also the amazing staff!! Every single one of them made our stay extra special. The room was epic with breath taking views! The chef and the food at the hotel's restaurant was unbelievable! We were extremely sad when out stay came to an end. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Wonderful & spotless hotel where any guest is truly invited to relax. Gorgeous rooms with panoramic views to the ocean, well equipped from the whirlpool in the rooms, to the little biscuits and chocolats available, to the options to watch Netflix directly setup. The team running the hotel is beyond fantastic - special mention to Dean who has truly made our stay special with his impeccable service, positive attitude & attention to detail (we got our own private dinner on the balcony!). Highly recommended hotel.

Hermanus is a beautiful quiet city.
Hermanus is a beautiful quiet city. Close to many Shopping Malls and not even crowded.
Our host, Kosie, went out of his way to make our stay in Hermanus memorable. Even concerned about our safety when the storm wreaked havoc in other parts of the Western Cape. Kosie, along with the owner of the accommodation, advised us to stay an extra night, free of charge and to rather travel home when it was safe to do so.
Kosie and Owner, thank you so, so much for concerning yourself about your guests and put their safety ahead of monetary gain. Will definitely return to Hermanus, Voelklip for my next vacation.

Hermanus is a lovely coastal town with a great array of eating and drinking establishments. It has a nice feel about it and i wouldnt worry about walking around it on my own. The views are stunning and during the Whale Watching season it is truly breathtaking. There are some beautiful winerys around and lots to do. If you're coming over from the UK its great value for money.

We often visit Hermanus and love it there.
We often visit Hermanus and love it there. Great beaches, tidal pools, cliff path walk and views and excellent restaurants too.
Super wine farms nearby and other small towns to explore in the region. A great base from which to discover the Overberg region.

Friendliness of everyone was awesome.
Friendliness of everyone was awesome. Everywhere you went you felt safe and welcome. Very easy to get around. Loved the hiking trails. A must-have is comfortable shoes and clothes for all weather types, because you walk a lot and the weather changes very fast.
A truly wonderful guest house to stay in with natural light, bang on the rocky beach where one hears the sea all night. It offers a great balcony with a braai, comfortable chairs and table and a perfect sea view. Every gadget that can make you feel at home right down to a full spice rack. The apartment was beautifully clean and comfortable. One can do a little walk on the rocky beach. Sadly it is not within walking distance of Hermanus itself but next to the abalone factories with, at times, some acrid smells. Safe parking.
What a truly amazing place in every respect. Just book it; you will not be disappointed. Everything, and I mean everything is perfect. From the complimentary bottle of wine at check in until our sorrowful goodbye every little detail is taken care of. Of course, the staff is wonderful and will do anything for you. We had a flight delay from the States and the travel shop found us an opening on a whale excursion, so we did not have to miss our wonderful experience with the whales. Thank you Marine Hermanus.
The service is exceptional! nothing was too much trouble and the team went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. The front desk arranged dinner bookings for us. Breakfast is included the luxury of an a la carte menu, the coffee, pasties and cooked breakfast prepared and served professionally. The spa treatment (couples massage) is out of this world - again one of the best we’ve experienced. Overall this was the best place we’ve stayed in, in Hermanus.
Impossible to fault this well designed and well appointed boutique hotel. The well managed hotel team matched the architecture with impeccable courtesy and service throughout our stay.
The location enjoys stunning views of the coast and encourages walking to all the facilities of the town.
Our third visit to Hermanus and definitely the best so far. Will return to this delightful place and would highly recommend to all.
We had the most amazing stay at The Whale's Tale. This absolutely beautiful guest house exceeded all our expectations. Evelyn is a warm and very welcoming host. Our room was huge and very luxurious, with a sea view and beautiful balcony with sun loungers and seating area. Breakfast was delicious. Next time we visit Hermanus, we will definitely stay here for more than one night
It was very nice place to stay very close to waterfront, where many restaurants nearby.
The staff were very kind and helpful, they recommended for us the whale watching trip including pickup and return from the hotel (free of charge)
The apartment very clean, comfortable and equipped with everything
We were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome when we arrived. The room was very clean and meet all our expectations. Breakfast was great. Thank you very much for pleasurable stay. We will definitely book into the hotel if we visit Hermanus again.
The hotel is exceptionally located in front of the sea at a walking distance from everywhere in town. The room is big with a great view of the ocean. Meals are served at a very nice restaurant in the same premisses with exceptional quality.
Beautiful rooms with incredible ocean views
Very nice staff
Some complimentary drinks in the room
Good TV
Very tasty breakfast
Small, personal hotel in a quiet area. A little bit outside the city but quick to drive to Hermanus
The Marine is one of our favourite hotels
The staff are so lovely. Rooms are lovely. Food is lovely. There is nothing not to like about this hotel. Lovely location and views are stunning. Cannot wait to return.
It was a very nice location, close to Hermanus waterfront, shops and restaurants. It was very neat and clean, like a self-catering hotel, and home-away from home. I'd definitely recommend Barford Haven.
Beautiful property in a lovely area, great view from our balcony overlooking Hermanus, full of flora and fauna, exceptional hosts, felt very safe and secure, comfy bed and a lovely breakfast.
Excellent. Very safe area. Hermanus is really a gem of a town! go out explore, there are caves near Gansbaai 20 minutes away. Walking on the beach at sunset is a must.
