Abalone Lodge
Abalone Lodge offers an upmarket service to all our guets. We do have direct access to the cliff path. Our guests can either walk into town or to the beach.
As a manager at one of the Shell Lodges, I think we are very priviledge to work for such a beautiful group. Every day we deal with different nationalities, meet new people and learn more about their culture. We are situated right in front of Sievers Point, excellent whale watching spot. I often go for a run on the cliff path in front of the lodge. Bautiful scenery.
As mentioned, we have direct access to the cliff path. Ideal fora morning run, or a late afternoon stroll into town for dinner. Sievers Point infront of the lodge makes this an excellent position for whale watching.
