This Hermanus hotel enjoys a location convenient to the city’s commercial addresses. There are numerous restaurants and shops at the center of the city. The main activity here, however, is whale-watching, and guests may engage in this pastime right from the Abalone Guest Lodge. Great White Shark tours are also popular. The easiest way to reach the Abalone Guest Lodge is by car from Cape Town. The drive is entirely along the N2 highway.

The rooms at this establishment enjoy the same expansive views as does the rest of the Abalone Guest Lodge. They are provided with elegant furnishings and décor. There are 5 rooms for hire here in total and they carry a 4-star rating.

Every morning, a full breakfast is served to guests of the Abalone Guest Lodge. Guests may dine outside on the terrace and, from that vantage point, they will sometimes see whales. The hotel has extensive views all around, whether they are of the sea or of the surrounding mountains.
