Whaler’s Point is located in Kleinmond, a quiet village on South Africa’s Whale Coast.
The property offers stunning views of the Kogelberg mountains and the Atlantic ocean. A nature reserve is just across the street from us. Our peaceful location also means you will be able to relax, breathe easy and enjoy a lovely night’s rest.
The town offers plenty of activities if you do decide to get out of bed. Take a walk to the nearby scenic Palmiet beach or go for a swim at the main beach with blue flag status. A lot of options await nature and outdoor lovers. Kleinmond is also perfectly situated to hop into your car and explore the surrounding wine areas such as the magical Elgin Valley, Botriver or the Hemel and Aarde Valley. Even Hermanus, the premier spot for land based whale watching in the world, is just 20 minutes away.
Take a slow stroll through Harbour Road for gift shopping and a variety of restaurants and cafes. Unwind on two stunning beaches or go swimming or canoeing in the lagoon or the beautiful Palmiet river. Go fishing, go bird- or whale watching. Go find the legendary wild, feral horses in the Rooisand Reserve. Or how about a round of golf? The course at Kleinmond offers breathtaking mountain and sea views and the luxury Arabella Country Estate is just a short drive away.
The fastest route to Kleinmond from Cape Town is via the N2, approximately a 90 minute drive. But
the most scenic route is the R44, known as Clarence Drive. It twists and turns, hugging the coastline and offers spectacular views. Definitely worth the experience!

Sets the standard to which other B&Bs should aspire
We recently stayed here for a two night break. Everything about our stay was wonderful, from the warm reception to the amazing breakfasts. Sharon is a great host: extremely hospitable but not intrusive and her staff are extremely helpful too. Throughout the property, the attention to detail is obvious and really helps to ensure that every guest need has been thought of in advance.Our room was extremely comfortable with an amazing spa bath with a view of the sea and mountains. The level of cleanliness was impeccable. It is obvious that the owners really love having guests and this is clearly more than just a commercial venture for them. We can't wait to return for a longer stay.

Such a lovely place to stay
We had excellent spacious accommodation - an apartment with a lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Everything was beautifully presented with fresh flowers,a big, comfy bed, really nice bedlinen and well equipped bathroom even complimentary robes and slippers - only sorry I never made time to enjoy that spa bath! Lots of extra touches - a complimentary cheese platter on our arrival and sherry one night, individual bottles of amarula liquer the next. Breakfast were excellent and brought to our apartment. Sharon is an excellent host and we were made so welcome and treated like welcome guests, she recommended an excellent restaurant (Tides) and made a reservation for us (we booked ourselves back in for the next night!). Whalers Point was beautifully situated close to the sea and we could watch the waves crashing on to the shoreline from our balcony. We had a lovely walk along the coast one morning. A lovely place to stay.

More than perfect
The flat: very well equipped, if fact so well that I haven't experienced this before. The standart and the cleaning was over all more that we had dreamt off. The hostess and the two maids: We felt VERY welcome form minute number one. A drink and a plate was served just after our arrival. The hospital was great and very naturel.
the sea from the room was just 200 m from the seaside and we were able to to the waves and hear the sea as well.
The dinner: on the patio was VERY tasty, we had a mussel pot and lamb - the whole set up was even better than one of the best restaurants. Again the service was so warm and welcoming!!

“A superb experience (twice)!”
In our month in the Western Cape we stayed in some excellent places but this was the best. We stayed in the one bedroom place with its own kitchen.. A quiet location with views of the sea, lovely decor and comfort and really great service. We liked it so much that we came back over Easter. A great base for coastal hikes both ways and for mountain walks out of the back. A complete no brainer. Lovely people.

What a pleasant surprise
Really nice place! Lovely setting, great hospitality {Thanx Alpha) and good attention to detail. The welcoming snacks and sherry was a great touch. Close to the footpath, leading to a lovely secluded beach. Will definitely be back again
