123 guests' feedbackThe perfect overnight spot in St Helena! We cannot thank Auntie Marianne and Uncle Chris enough. The place is excellently equipped and sparkling clean. Marianne is a hostess one thousand. We had a lovely stay there.
Marianne is a wonderful, warm and friendly person. She received us generously and our check-in was painless. The apartment is cosy, artistic and very sunny. The view over the sea is of course the very best. It's wonderfully quiet and peaceful and we had a great time. Marianne also spoils you with her ingredients for a breakfast, something that is in no way expected. Thank you so much for sharing your places with everyone. If we come to the West Coast again, we will definitely stop by Whale n Daisy again.
Mariaan and Chris are awesome owners. Went out of their way to see our flowers, made it worth it. I would recommend their place anytime.
The place is an absolute gem with the most beautiful view and the friendliest hostess. We had a wonderful stay and were spoiled with fresh bread and pudding after our barbecue. Very special, we will definitely go again.
It was really worth the money. The area is so beautiful and quiet, the nesting birds are so cute.
Exceeded expectations, the host went above and beyond to make our stay special.
We enjoyed an amazing weekend at Whale 'n Daisy. Everything was perfect, the accommodation has everything that you can possibly need for a weekend away, including a beautiful sea view and safe garage parking for your vehicle. The hostess goes the extra mile to make guests feel welcome; we were even provided with the ingredients in the flat for a full breakfast: eggs, yogurt, juice, bread, butter, preserves, orange juice, milk, coffee, and tea! This is an ideal getaway for a couple for a romantic weekend. We will definitely be visiting again.
Very nice stay. Very hospitable. Just note that there are stairs up to the apartment. Secure parking in a garage. You can just ask if you need something, because the hostess goes the extra mile.
Thank you very much for the indescribably nice weekend and all your care and recommendations. We really enjoyed it.
Our stay was short but very peaceful and enjoyable. The accommodation was stocked with everything that we needed and more. It was so cozy, and the view from the balcony was so tranquil. The extra treats were a sweet touch. Marianne was a lovely host. She was so accommodating and friendly, knowing just the right balance between hosting and giving us our space to enjoy ourselves. We had a fabulous time, thank you.
Our stay was most enjoyable - thanks to Marianne and her stunningly cosy, lovely place!
We stayed on Saldanha for 8 years in the 70s. So the expansion in that part of the West Coast was surprising for us.
Everything was perfect! Just as promised, if we could, we would give 6 or 7 stars! Marianne kept us up to date on all matters, and our stay was out of this world. If we sound over the top, it's because we cannot recommend Whale n Daisy highly enough.
The stay at Whale n Daisy was very pleasant, the hostess very considerate and treats galore. Had a great time.
The accommodation is ample for two people. It is very comfortable, with a fantastic sea view, and we were treated to the beautiful fynbos right on the doorstep. Marianne is a warm and caring host who ensured we had everything we needed, but never infringed on our privacy.
The owner was so kind and friendly. Received very good service.
Marianne and Chris are fantastic hosts, always going the extra mile, thanks for all the extra treats you have given us. Definitely will see us again.
Beautiful, clean, spacious accommodation at a very reasonable price. Everything one needs and more. Marianne was very hospitable and gave us advice on where and what there was to do in town. Will definitely stay there again.
Marianne has thought of everything that one would need whether travelling for business or leisure. Whale and Daisy are beautifully decorated with a variety of art pieces, so wonderful to see the work of a very talented hostess. This has been our best experience to date. Marianne has seen to it that there are eggs, bread, butter, jam, fruit juice and milk in the fridge - if you arrive on a cold and wet evening, you do not need to go out for food. There is a variety of coffee and tea available as well as every gadget you should need during your stay. Every need is catered for from outdoor furniture to a heater and electric blanket as well as a load-shedding lamp. Thank you Marianne for your utmost concern and offer of crutches to help Annatjie up the stairs. We appreciated the welcoming chalkboard at the front gate and all that you provided during our stay.
We loved every second of our breakaway. From all the added extras to the thoughtfulness of our hosts. It was really a weekend to remember.
Marianne is an excellent hostess and made our stay as comfortable as possible all the time.
From our arrival to our departure we were showered with hospitality. Everything we could need was well thought of. Treats were laid out for us everywhere which made the stay extra special. I can recommend this place with great confidence!
The host is fantastic. We made a mistake to stay only for two days. Would love a week and more.
Marianne, the hostess, is fantastic. Everything you could ask for when you are on holiday, you will find here at Wale n Daisy.
Marianne and Chris are lovely people. Everything was perfect. Couldn't have asked for better.
We had a very nice stay. It's the place with the most beautiful view. The location is ideal. It's close to places to eat. Very well and tastefully furnished. We were kindly received. The owner went out of her way to make everything comfortable for us. She topped up everything daily. The place has the nicest bathroom. We will definitely stay there again.
The place was amazing. Very spacious. The view was the best part of it and the pictures don't even do it justice. Marianne made us feel so welcome, she checked up on us and helped us fine activities for our stay. Definitely planning on going back. Could not have asked for a better place to rest and rejuvenate before falling back into the 2023 work year.
The room felt very comfortable, perfect for a couple. The bathroom was lovely (spacious) and everything was very clean and nicely decorated. There were condiments for the mornings and it was fully equipped with everything we needed. The host was very friendly and helpful! We enjoyed using the BBQ on the balcony and watching the sea view. There was a little path down to the sea (a 10-minute walk away). The town was tranquil, very small and quiet, beautiful for beach walks and a little time out.
I would recommend Whale n Daisy to anyone anytime. The drive there was worth it. The hostess the best.
Friendly and comfortable.
Our hosts made us feel most welcome and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. We had a very relaxing few nights there. My husband forgot his glasses there and Marianne went above and beyond to ensure that they got back to us safely.
Everything was clean and comfortable. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Very pleasant visit.
Tranquility and relaxation.
Fantastic place 10/10. Very calm.
Mr and Mrs Heyns made our visit one of the best. Their hospitality, their loving attitude. They only received us with love.
Our visit was short, but very enjoyable. The reception and overall hospitality was exceptional. We will definitely stay again.
The owner was most polite and helpful. The convenience of free wifi was good. The amazing bathroom which had a shower for two and a bath that could easily fit 2 was also unexpected. They also supplied little extras which were a surprise and not expected. Happy to stay there.
The client is friendly and open. The place is more of an intimate vibe. It is a good place to rest.
We have thoroughly enjoyed a week here. Marianne and Chris have been excellent hosts, to make our visit as relaxed as could be. The views are amazing and they even arranged for Southern Right Whales to perform in the bay, right in front of our suite. 3 days in a row!. The accommodation is spotless and comfortable. Marianne adds lots of little extras that really make a big difference. There's even an electric blanket if you like to be snug. I highly recommend choosing this location if you are visiting St Helena Bay. We will certainly be back. Thanks Marianne and Chris for your hospitality.
Lots of effort to make you feel welcome and at home.
We were very warmly welcomed, the stay was very relaxed and peaceful.
Our stay at Whale n Daisy was fantastic! Marianne our hostess went out of her way to make us feel at home, her effort with everything was so tastefully done. Thank you Marianne for your hospitality! The natural beauty, fresh air and nice sea view from the veranda was a pleasure! Wonderful to be able to be in God's nature like this! Thank you Whale n Daisy hope to see you again soon.
The hostess spoiled us a lot. The only problem was she was in the place when we weren't home. She meant well, but I felt my privacy was not taken into account. We were also not informed that she could enter the place without our permission. But me and my girlfriend enjoyed our holes out.
We spent a great, peaceful long weekend doing exactly we need to recharge our batteries. Absolutely nothing but read good books, chill out, watch TV, eat junk food and look out at the sea. Batteries completely recharged for the next 6 months of 2022. Host catered to our every needs and we would definitely return.
The extra snacks, service, helpfulness and friendliness surprised us. We regret we couldn't stay longer. A must for any traveler or vacationer.
We really felt at home.
We experienced a wonderful time at Whale a Daisy. Unprecedented hospitality and pampering. With a wonderful view over the bay. Would highly recommend Whale n Daisy.
The only regret I have is not discovering Whale n Daisy sooner. The accommodation is situated perfectly and surrounded by all major attractions. The hosts are amazing and even treated us to a surprise. The cottage is fitted with everything you need and all minor needs are accommodated. The surrounding views are breathtaking with a clear view over the ocean, harbour, and other attractions. There is no other place I would rather stay than at the Whale n Daisy. It was love at first sight. There is so much more I can say, but the only way to truly appreciate it is by visiting the place and experiencing it for yourself. Amazing. ️
It was incredibly nice, kindness and all the treats were just very special. We can't thank you enough, it was the best stay ever.
Owners are friendly, hospitable and sincere kammer has the most beautiful view on the sea will definitely visit again.
Very calm, friendly people and feeling at home.
The owner is very friendly and the stay at Whale n Daisy was really amazing, the views magnificent. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to break away.
Marianne offered us the perfect getaway destination. The room was clean and our host went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. Her attention to detail was brilliant, thank you. We would highly recommend a stay at Whale and Daisy.
Beautiful place with the best hostess ever. Got much more than what we paid for, more like B&B than self catering. Thank you very much for all the goodies. Will definitely come again!
The owner and her husband are very hospitable, were surprised with a delicious New Year's "platter"! The advice and information about the attractions excellent. Was a pleasant experience staying at Whale n Daisy!
We had a great time and would go back anytime. Everything was tidy and we had a very friendly welcome. Was well rested and would go back again anytime.
Whale n Daisy met all our needs from a beautiful view of the sea, lovely spacious bathroom facilities and friendly service.
Very neat accommodation. Would definitely recommend.
Marianne and Chris were the perfect hosts. We enjoyed staying at Whale n Daisy. The whole unit was fresh and clean. We appreciated all the extras that were done during our stay.
The host is amazing and goes out of her way to make your stay memorable.
We were spoiled when we got there, it was really worth it and I will definitely stay there again. Thanks again.
Nice view. Romantic, clean, neat and spacious. Hostess goes the extra mile to make stay pleasant. Secure lock up garage.
The hostess was friendly and has a passion for what she does.
Place very clean and tidy. Five star accommodation. View breathtaking. Close to shops etc. Must visit again.
Wonderful hospitality and beautiful place!
Whale n Daisy is 'n baie lkker plek om te kies vir as julle vir 'n naweek wil weggaan. Met 'n uitstekende uitsig op die see. Dit is baie veilig ook.
Was one of the best guesthouses we have ever stayed at. Lovely place, clean and tidy. Close to everything.
All the extras that the hostess left in the room for us are really appreciated.
Thank you very much for all the nice treats throughout the week. We really enjoyed the place. Wonderful sea view and comfortable big place. Friendly reception and service throughout the week which is an extra unexpected bonus. Would stay there again for a weekend. Longer is difficult with the fact that the place doesn't really have a kitchen, just something to keep in mind. May aunty be blessed going forward.
Great. Breathtaking moment.
Peaceful and calming stay. Thanks for the nice treats. Very good reading material, enjoyed lying down and reading. Stay was heaven on earth.
Host was very accomodating and tried their best to make it a memorable stay.
Very relaxing and comfortable.
Oh the host is number one. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. There was also breakfast for us which was very nice. When she heard it was our wedding anniversary, she surprised us with a delicious baked pudding. She was very helpful really it was a great time.
The host really took meticulous care to make our stay amazing. We were pleasantly surprised in so far as all the attention to detail that the hostess did to make our stay memorable.
Feels like home away from home! With the welcome sign with our names on it at the entrance, the spacious and excellently furnished room, kitchenette and bathroom and the beautiful sea view, Whale n Daisy stole our hearts! Mariaan, our hostess, is a lovely person who goes the extra mile with a smile and an open heart. Many, many thanks Marian! We'll see you again soon!
Very homey feel, amazing hospitality and friendliness, definately going there again. Loved it so much
Such a cozy warmth in the guest house, perfect for a couple to break away.
The host made me really feel like I was wanted there. It was surprising that I was offered space in the lock-up garage for my car. Everything was just is place (and very spacious).
Friendly hostess. Lots of extra treats, location is very good, beautiful view, would definitely recommend.
The land lady went out of her way to make our weekend special by shopping on my behalf. The place is beautiful, neat, clean and quiet fir a couples getaway. We got much more then we bargained for.
The unit has more than you need for a getaway with braai facilities which is always a winner for our culture. Close to lots of activities with a wonderful hostess who made us feel comfortable and safe. Really value for money.
It is very unfortunate that there are no kitchen facilities for self-catering. With a few changes, a small kitchen (kitchenette) can be set up. Especially for visitors who don't want to eat out.
From reception to departure we were treated like royalty! It was a really nice holiday, especially because we stayed there. The place is beautifully decorated and the cleanliness is striking! The space in and around the accommodation really gives it a special atmosphere. We would definitely recommend the place!
Ons het net een aand gebly, maar sal beslis weer terugkom vir 'n langer tydperk.
Very nice people. Felt very much at home.
Really value for money. Mariaan is a wonderful hostess. The lovely balcony with such a beautiful sea view was also a surprise. Thank you Mariaan, my husband and I will definitely come again.
Well worth more than a two night stay. Warm welcome. Our needs were more than met. Beautiful view. Definitely a place to visit again. Would recommend anytime. At the very top of our list of accommodation during our tour.
Was very kindly received and Marianne is unfailingly nice. The place is extremely neat and comfortable. Most beautiful view. Will definitely stay here again.
See rating.
A place where one really gets value for your money, from fruit, orange juice, milk, coffee and rusks. What a view and close to the town. I have been to many places and this one is tops.
You won't regret Whale n Daisy. Best relaxation ever. Reception was the best. Als is comfortable and tidy. We will definitely visit them again.
Warm welcome. Beautiful room and bathroom with everything needed for breakfast preparation!
A beautiful home, very well-equipped and Marianne could not have been more welcoming, helpful and friendly! Both my husband and I haven't had a better stay in South Africa, and we've been travelling for over 2 months! Could not recommended more highly!
For the reasonable price one does not expect what Whale n Daisy offers. It's clean, tidy, comfortable, safe and felt like a home away from home. We haven't had such a good time in a long time. The room and facilities are so comfortable and Marianne's warm personality and caring heart made us feel right at home. The style and atmosphere definitely made our weekend. It's the first place to hang out that persuades me to stay in rather than paint the streets red. Parking is also very safe.
Our stay was amazing and wonderful. The service was great and our hostess and host are very friendly people and yet too cute. Our hostess spoiled us with little things and she is too precious. We really enjoyed ourselves in your beautiful fishing village. We also really enjoyed the tranquility and view. It's a beautiful place and we will definitely go on holiday again. We will advise friends and family to go on holiday there, they will definitely enjoy it even if it's just for a weekend. We will definitely come again, even if it's just for a weekend.
We were really received friendly. The accommodation is neat and we were treated to fresh fruit. Will make use of them again any time.
My husband and I really enjoyed our weekend at Whale n Daisy! The view, super comfortable bed, fantastic bath and shower and also the extra treats like muffins, bread, eggs and juice (which I really appreciated) absolutely made our time there wonderful. There are so many extra personal touches which were very special and we will definitely stay there again and also recommend it to anyone looking for accommodation in St Helena Bay. Thank you very much Marianne, you are a real gem for your town!
Peaceful and quiet and a nice view of the sea and harbour. Very quiet during the night. Place is very well equipped with an outdoor braai. Motor is also locked in the garage. Will definitely go again but will only stay longer.
We had a lovely stay at Whale n Daisy. One has to put the physical address into the GPS to have accurate directions. Super welcoming hosts and outstandingly comfortable bed. Very clean, and complementary fruit and plunger coffee. Would recommend it to anyone.
Very neat and clean beautiful sea view. Very pleasant hostess who makes a lot of extra effort will definitely go again.
Great accommodation, comfortable, extremely clean and neat. Great people and we took a wonderful breath there.
Thanks you for your hospitality. The extra treats for breakfast were a bonus!
Very well received and small things that are all in place, such as biscuits, bread, eggs, fruit and many more that were offered. Very nice location and had a wonderful stay there.
Friendly and tidiest place. Value for money.
Great value for money. Marianne was very hospitable. Will definitely go there again.
Very homely, everything one could need for a night away!
I can't thank you enough. We had a friendly reception with the biggest treat. Place is clean and neat. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to stay there. I will definitely go again.
Whale n Daisy sien ons binnekort weer. Mees fantastiese blyplek en dorp.
Baie vriendelike en gasvrye mense en die plekkie is vreeslik mooi ingerig met daai ietsie ekstra om jou tuis en gemaklik te laat voel. Sal beslis weer gaan.
What a wonderful stay we had. Relaxing West Coast hospitality at its best. We were here for 4 days and 3 nights and we had a lovely stay. Felt completely spoiled by our hosts with all the little treats and surprises. Would highly recommend a stay at Whale n Daisy.
It was a very nice surprise, beautiful view, neat and the reception is friendly. Absolutely heavenly.
We went there for a mid week getaway and we got much more than expected. A nice big spacious room with a lovely double bed and shower and bath. Marianne is warm and inviting and has it all laid out for you. Braai facilities and basic kitchen stuff. She even kept us stocked with rusks and bread and fresh fruit and juice for breakfast. A 2 minute walk from secluded beach and around the corner from a Spar and coffee shop. It was a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back.
It's worth staying there. Everything was great.
Reception was good as were the arrangements before checking in. Neat and cosy close to the ocean.
Whale n Daisy surprised us! It's a spacious suite with crisp linen and towels. Lying on your bed and watching the sea with its changing colors is fantastic! For two people, the accommodation is perfect and Chris and Marianne's hospitality and pampering will be remembered for a long time!
My husband and I loved our stay and we loved the room, which was large, private, clean and very comfortable and not to mention the R1m view of the ocean. Marianne was a lovely hostess, very informative and friendly and gave us privacy. So much thought has gone into the room, which is nicely geared up for self catering and we were surprised and delighted with all the little touches from fresh milk, bread and preserves, to the lovely amenities in the room. Wish we could have stayed a month but will be back again soon!
The accommodation was everything I could have asked for and the hospitality I received was amazing - something I have never experienced anywhere else. Will definitely go back.
Aunt Marianne welcomed us so pleasantly. Most beautiful view, beautiful spacious room, decor and color perfect. Very private. Delicious surprise dinners. Secure parking in garage for your vehicle. Definitely a next time. No noise, no Cell C capture, perfect for switching off and just enjoying yourself!
Very friendly and helpful.
Place is ideally located. Very nice view of the sea. Ideal accommodation if you want to get away. Very hospitable owner. Will definitely recommend to future visitors.
Very good reception, relaxed. Just think a TV would be nice as it's not available. Good value for money.
The mattress was just terribly soft and made sleeping difficult. Replace the mattress.
