    The guest house and bedroom were tastefully decorated with a high degree of cleanliness. The team were lovely and friendly. The seafront location and views are jaw-dropping. I couldn't fault Abalone and would happily recommend to anyone.

    The breakfast was excellent thank you. There was plenty of choice and everything was fresh. We didn’t sample the hot breakfast but everything else was great

    It's nice being a bit removed from centre of town, but still very close to access. The property is very peaceful. Highly recommend a sea view room! Fab breakfast.

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.
