Whalesong Hotel & Hydro is a chic hotel in a happening town. In it one feels the vibrant pulse of the new South Africa. Whalesong Hotel & Hydro is Plettenberg Bay accommodation at its finest. Although stylish, it is quintessentially African - the inspiration for its design and concept is from the bush.
Whalesong Hotel & Hydro, a short distance above the town centre, has fantastic views of the bay, the mountains and the ocean beyond. Ideally situated, Whalesong Hotel & Hydro is just minutes from the pristine beaches, golf courses and a wide range of activities on the Garden Route, including marine encounters with dolphins and whales.
Plettenberg Bay was named after Governor Joachim von Plettenberg, who incorporated the bay under the administrative sovereignty of the Dutch-East India Trading Company in 1778. The Company used the place primarily as a shipping port for the hardwood timber that grew everywhere. Later on there was a whaling station built here, which was active until 1920.
Long before Van Riebeeck landed at the Cape, Portuguese explorers like Bartholomew Dias in 1487 charted the bay, followed 90 years later by Manuel da Perestrello, who aptly called it Bahia Formosa or the Bay Beautiful. The first white inhabitants were the 100 men stranded here for 9 months when the San Gonzales sank in 1630. In 1763 the first white settlers in the Bay were stock farmers, hunters and frontiersmen from the Western Cape.
A gourmet dining experience with cuisine for the entire family. A fusion of international and traditional cuisine with a choice of a la carte or buffet menus featuring a sundeck with breathtaking views. Whalesong Hotel & Hydro offers @ Whales Restaurant, Coffee @ Whales, Al Fresco dining on the viewing deck and lounge & bar facilities.
