Start TestimonialHermanus Abalone Lodge was lovely. The garden room was secluded and peaceful. We could see that it would be great to have one of the first floor rooms if it was peak whale watching season as you would be able to watch them from the balcony. There were only a few whales left so we were lucky to see some. The staff were so helpful finding us a place on the mainly fully booked whale watching trips and organising restaurants and taxis. A great place to stay as you can wander along the coastal path and sit and watch the sea and the birds in the fynbos.End Testimonial

Start TestimonialI felt very much at home. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I love the fact I can go in and out without bothering anyone, and felt very secure with their gates. Also, the back gate to the cliff walk was most excellent. Wish I could spend a week there. Thank you for your help in booking this place.End Testimonial

Start TestimonialAll the accommodation was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Aquavit was the "stand-out" accommodation because the quality of everything was quite exceptional. Amakhala game drives were the highlight and our Ranger, Leonie, was excellent. Both the Lawhill Apartment and Abalone Guest House were very high quality. End Testimonial

Start TestimonialAbalone, with the balcony looking out to sea to see whales breaching while we had afternoon tea, was exceptional.End Testimonial

P HARDY

Start TestimonialThe accommodation was superb particularly the Abalone Guest House in Hermanus (they couldn't do enough for us). We were both very impressed.End Testimonial

Start TestimonialApologies for not getting back sooner - wedding and work seem to have taken over my life for last two weeks. We had a really brilliant holiday, and in no small part due to Travel Butlers' knowledge and advice. The Bay Hotel in Camps Bay was a great recommendation. I don't think we would have liked the hotels around the waterfront - and we even had a whale in the bay on our last day there. One of the best designed hotel rooms I've been in, but not over impressed by the restaurant in the hotel, despite it's apparent high standing. Blues Restaurant, 50 yds away was much better. Hermanus was really good, and Abalone Guest House a real treat. Relaxed and informal, great views, with provision of binoculars for close-ups of the whales. The Phantom Forest was phantastic, and the food here was the best we had throughout the holiday. 6 course meals for £25 per head. Maybe we had a discount as residents , but even so, we would be paying 3 times that amount for similar quality in London. The rooms and the views at Phantom were spectacular. Kruger was all we hoped for and more. The lodge (Exeter River Lodge) was fine, guides and trackers very good, food excellent, and an all-round brilliant 3 days. Stanley Safari was another excellent recommendation. We were certainly better there than in Mauritius, which was my original plan. Stanley Safari Lodge was an excellent spot. Quiet - no phones, no TV, no newspapers, not even a connection to the main building. Service there was excellent, and all meals well prepared and served, including light lunch and evening meals. As luck would have it, when we went to Livingstone Island to sit on the edge of the falls, we were accompanied by 73 year old great grand-daughter of David Livingstone, along with her daughter. A great finish to a wonderful trip. All in all, a great trip.End Testimonial
