Nestled on a hill above Plettenberg Bay, along the world-famous Garden Route, this hotel features breathtaking views of the coastline and the ocean beyond from the restaurant deck. Whalesong features 32 spacious, comfortable bedrooms with attached bathroom, equipped for the discerning traveler and interiors reflecting the serene blues and whites of the ocean. To make the most of the truly spectacular scenery, most of the rooms features its own private wooden viewing deck and offers breathtaking views of the Keurbooms coastline and the Tsitsikamma Mountain Range. The elegantly furnished hotel offers double and twin rooms. The hotel offers rejuvenating spa treatments, full body massages and hot stone therapies.

The large sundeck with expansive ocean views offers an alternative, casual dining experience and is an ideal venue to enjoy Craft Gin Tastings and Sundowners.
