70 guests' feedbackCute room that makes you feel like you're at home. Everything we needed. The aunt was terribly very cute.
Yes, thank you. Pleasant and comfortable.
Excellent. Can recommend anytime. Come back all the time. 5 stars.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Whale. Great communication between the host and myself. Will definitely use it again.
Our stay was only short, but it was really pleasant. We were kindly received. The room we were supposed to go to was not available because they were making improvements. We were spoiled with better rooms.
Host friendly and concerned about our comfort. Place so lovely and clean. Enjoyed my privacy.
No secure parking for vehicles. A gate would help. Burglar bars in front of windows will help with ventilation (so we can open the windows). No Wi-Fi. Not DStv.
Very friendly and facilities and braai area, as well as location close to everything, excellent. It is a very comfortable place with an excellent location to spend the night.
With the wind and loadshedding, all that is needed is a single plate throttle.
Very pleasant, safe environment in this seaside town.
Nice people, good barbecue and private.
See stars.
Yellowtail caught. Freezer facilities and space for the boat.
Recommendation: Hand rail and non-slip mat in shower. Replace blinds with curtains for more privacy.
Was the most affordable accommodation.
Our host, Tersia, was the best. We were kindly received and she was concerned about our well-being all week. I would definitely recommend Blue Whale and will visit again. It's very peaceful and quiet and if you want to rest Blue Whale is the perfect place.
Lovely first Struisbaai holiday - pleasantly surprised and would love to come again!
We spent the night there for the first time. The place is beautiful and the service is great. The place has the most beautiful view. We will definitely stay there again. It has the full DStv Explorer package, all the channels, it was great.
Tobie was very attentive and helpful. Nice and centrally situated for easy access to shops, pubs and the harbour.
Nice stay, time was just too short. Eat well at restaurants.
Tobie received us personally and simply upgraded our room at no extra cost. Really nice and relaxed atmosphere. Will go again.
Fridge was just a bit noisy.
We really enjoyed spending the night at the clean and tidy place to stay.
On our arrival Oom Kobie came and help us with our luggage very friendly.
Our room was spotless and clean with all the necessary requirements to make our stay enjoyable. Just love the communal area in the outside of the 4 rooms. Braai area, table and chairs. Out of the wind. Close to all shops, etc.
From the moment we arrived there, we were very well received and the owner is really very friendly and helpful. The rooms and braai area are well equipped for a short holiday or overnight stay. The place is excellently located near shops and the beach and you can just walk. Environment is very safe.
It was in a good environment and close to the shops and walking distance from the sea. Will definitely stay there again. Friendly service and very peaceful there.
Neat and comfortable.
Owner made an effort and made his garage available as I had a lot of luggage in my car. Cute visiting and braai area and place for guests. Would stay there again and stay for a few days. Thank you Toby.
Very neat, simple and comfortable.
Very nice place. Will go there again.
A shower would be nice instead of a hand shower. But everything was clean and tidy. Thank you for allowing us to stay. Will definitely visit and stay here again.
Only stayed 2 nights to explore area.
Seen a lot, had a great time.
We had a great time. Nice walking distance from everything.
Uncle Tobie is so friendly and his service is top notch.
Tobie told us quite interesting things about Struisbaai which was quite interesting. He also went the extra mile to change the room for a double bed, I was not aware that I booked 2 single beds. He phoned me in advance to inform of the booking that I did and made the room change without any extra charges.
Host called to say that we could book in before the time.
Tobie is a very friendly person, the place is neat and clean, would stay there again anytime! Have already told friends about the place! Thank you very much for your hospitality, it was a pleasure to stay there.
The owner surprised us with his friendliness and helpfulness. Since I am recovering from a serious illness, this was truly the ideal place to go and relax. Thank you very much Toby. I recommend your place to everyone who likes tranquility.
Baie rustig, net wat ek nodig gehad het. Ek hou baie van die bank met die skets in die agtergrond, dit was my mooiste foto.
Very comforting in unexpected circumstances.
Was tidy and more than adequate for our needs.
Very kindly received by Tobie. Comfortable overnight accommodation to explore the area. Value for money.
Had a great time. Well located. Walking distance to shops, eateries, beach and harbour. Will go back again anytime.
I would use them again anytime.
The place is quiet and safe.
Friendly people. Very hospitable.
No sink facilities in kitchen or any cleaning products. The parking in front of the house and rooms behind also leave an uneasiness about the vehicle that is not visible or behind closed gates.
Feel safe. Incredible hospitality. Very considerate. Shops and sea walking distance. Would definitely recommend to others.
Would recommend for a day or two's stay.
Was a very pleasant place and nice and quiet.
We had a great time with host and hostess. Very neat accommodation and everything you need was in the little apartment.
The room we rented was nice and clean and very well maintained.
Will visit again.
The silence of the surroundings was heavenly. Will definitely visit again. Excellent place.
There is no fresh water for guests and you have to tap everything in the bathroom.
It felt like everything was dirty to us - the grills and tongs were filthy to say the least (we didn't try grilling), the microwave was dirty inside, the fridge was dirty inside, there were ants in it the kitchen, cobwebs everywhere. The finish was old, WiFi very frustrating. The place is overpriced compared to at least 4 other places we booked too.
Tonie and Tersa are very friendly and hospitable. Really value for money. Our room had a beautiful mural that made you feel like you were on the stand. Blue Whale's owners are very helpful with advice on local travel, food. Clean, neat place to stay. Best breakfast eaten just diagonally across the road from Blue Whale. Shops walking distance from Blue Whale. Nice walk in cool sea air from their house to SANParks' Agulhas lighthouse. Tersia's art studio paintings are beautiful. Thank you very much. Feel free to do so.
I just want to thank Uncle Tobie for receiving us very well. My friends and I will choose Blue Whale again anytime if we go on a trip to Struisbaai again.
I came to rest and that's exactly what I did. The perfect place to pull over. I could barbecue on Saturday.
It's a beautiful place. Tobie is a wonderful host. The place is beautiful. Would definitely stay there again.
Friendly and hospitable reception. Really enjoyed being able to be in a part of our country that was unknown to me.
It was my first time in Struisbaai. Pleasantly surprised by the friendly people in community. Shops and dining/visiting places. Would definitely go again and enjoyed the nearby town of L'Ahulhas just as much. Also went to visit the lighthouse and museum and had a good time at the campsite.
It was a pleasant surprise that a small dining table, chairs, plates and cutlery for two as well as a microwave oven were added to the standard fridge and coffee supplies.
The host is very friendly and accommodation is very centrally located.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay! Thank you very much!
Clean and tidy accommodation with friendly host.
The place was very small. They could have at least added some accessories such as proper plates and not paper plates and enough glasses. I expected much more. They should consider getting a TV as said on the add but there was no TV, nor microwave or a mini fridge.
