61 guests' feedbackBeautiful place. Wonderful people. Excellent sea view!
We had a great stay and will definitely go back again. The view over the sea is indescribably beautiful and we saw many whales. The place is fully furnished with everything you need and there is enough space. The owner is very friendly and informed us of everything to see and do in Gansbaai and surrounding areas. What was disturbing were the dogs that barked incessantly when the owners left the premises until they returned, but apart from that I can recommend the place with great confidence.
Our stay was excellent, the flat is very comfortable and cosy. The view from the balcony is great, we could even see the whales. Will definitely go back anytime. The hosts are very friendly and helpful.
Friendly service, lovely accommodation. Clean and tidy and everything you can think of in the kitchen. Excellent, will definitely visit again.
Our family had a great stay. Was kindly received. Really enjoyed the uncle's stories. Feels like family.
We had a very nice stay.
Comfortable and excellent host and hostess. Very helpful. Thanks.
Fantastic, secure, beautiful place to stay.
The perfect spot for 2 people. We could watch the whales from our balcony.
The host and hostess are fantastic. We got a very warm welcome and the weather was perfect.
Very friendly host and hostess. Would love to go there again.
Very neat. Warm welcome from the host. Will visit again.
Beautiful clean and tidy place. Very nice sea view.
The view is breathtaking, the people are genuine, friendly and proud South Africans. We are grateful for all the knowledge and beauty of the environment that Andre and Judith shared with us. We immediately felt at home in the clean and tasteful apartment.
I would recommend the unit to anyone.
The cleanliness and natural beauty is breathtaking. The view over the sea is unique!
The living unit is beautifully equipped with everything one needs. The view to the sea is really beautiful.
Very safe and peaceful place to stay. Stairs quite a challenge for older persons, as well as if you have quite a lot of luggage. The unit is neat and well equipped. Gansbaai and surrounding beach areas are beautiful, wish we had more time to see more of the area.
We had a wonderful weekend.
André and Judith are friendly, helpful and very kind. Would go back anytime.
Staying in this self-catering apartment feels like a homecoming. The owners, Andre and Judith, are warm and welcoming and immediately made me feel welcome. The apartment has an excellent location and a nice view of the sea. A safe bay is within walking distance and it's surrounded by beautiful scenery. The apartment is neat, comfortable and well equipped. There are many beautiful holiday destinations nearby that can be explored.
Nice place and I will go again.
Place was clean and tidy.
Even if it's just an overnight stay or a longer stay, can definitely recommend it.
We were very well received and the owners are very friendly. They gave good information about the town and told about places worth seeing. The apartment is very comfortable and clean and would recommend it.
Beautiful place with nice sea view. Neat and well equipped unit. Feels like home. Very safe. The uncle helped us a lot with information so that we could make the most of our stay in Gansbaai.
Our usual accommodation was unavailable. Whale of a Time was the alternative. The place is perfect for 2 people, it is a spacious open plan room, lounge and kitchen. Not cramped at all. The bathroom is separate and there is a nice large veranda with a kettle braai and partial sea view. We would stay there again.
I would only suggest that visitors be warned that the unit's staircase is very very steep and dangerous. The owner himself was not willing to get on it. For young people this is certainly no problem, but for older people it is for sure, especially when all your luggage has to be carried up and down again.
From our arrival, our host made sure we were helped, everything was kindly explained to us and there was even a mug of milk in the fridge for that first cup of coffee. The little apartment has a beautiful view of the sea and is well equipped in the kitchen.
André and Judith are very hospitable. We can confidently recommend their place to stay. It's neat, clean and well equipped. We would love to stay there longer in the future.
Everything you need. Good location and walking trails.
The place is neat and very cosy. Beautiful view of the sea. Very well located and close to the town centre. Andre Vorster is a great host and very helpful. Five stars for Whale of a Time.
The uncle and aunt made us feel very welcome, as did the animals that were there. The place is very clean and the view was exceptional. I will definitely come again.
Welcome was good and the accommodation is excellent, very quiet for seclusion.
We were looking for the perfect peaceful spot and therefore exactly what we received and more. The owners are friendly, the best host ever, it was our pleasure to stay at Whale of a Time. I will definitely go for a second time.
What a lovely little gem. Amazing getaway and stunning views. We had such a lovely stay.
Very nice stay, beautiful view and friendly host and hostess, felt right at home.
Close to all amenities.
Thank you so much to Andre and Judith for their hospitality and friendliness. You have a beautiful place and I enjoyed it a lot. No complaints.
Overall not bad. Stairs to apartment very steep.
We had a great time and felt like we were completely on our own.
Very neat place, equipped with everything you need. We were received very hospitably and felt very welcome as soon as we stepped inside. Breathtaking view.
It's so peaceful to just relax. The owners feel like old friends and the pets create an atmosphere of a home away from home. The view is incredible and you can almost sit on the deck all day. Very good WiFi reception. Secure parking.
Gasvryheid tops, hulle het ons ontvang met ope arms, baie netjiese plek en in stil area.
The hospitality was also fantastic.
Upon our arrival, Andre Voster who is the host welcomed us very warmly. We got complimentary coffee and biscuits which were delicious. The place to stay was clean and tidy and the peaceful feeling just came over you.
Unfavorable weather and strong wind cause poor WiFi reception. Radio or TV would be a plus for sure.
Place is beautiful, everything you need there, very friendly people, dogs also came to greet, would recommend it anytime. Would definitely go again.
Beautiful places close to the sea, very nice view. The owners of the house are very friendly and you immediately feel at home.
It was exactly what we were looking for. View was beautiful beyond. Will definitely go back again.
It was a great place, cleanliness is fantastic. The room was airy and light was excellent. We had everything we needed to have a pleasant stay. Our hosts was friendly and helpful, advising of attraction sites.
Compact stay but all comfort is present. Unique terrace with sea view and extremely helpful André.
Comfortable equipped accommodation with a fantastic sea view. Very friendly and helpful owners who made us feel very much at home. This is the ideal place during whale season. We would definitely recommend the place.
We enjoyed it very much and the view is something special.
The place is more than what we expected! The oom and tannie are very friendly and helpful. The area is peaceful with the most beautiful view. Would definitely recommend it.
See stars.
Very nice accommodation, people were very friendly. Stayed until a Monday, was a bit noisy in the morning as the dogs were barking and someone was sounded like working in the garden. The rest was peaceful. Oven did not work, could not bake anything. Alarm was a bit of a pain being put on before we went to bed. Went off while we were getting something out the car.
Directions were spot on. Host Andre is very friendly and informative about what to do. Tastefully clean little place. Sat on little balcony enjoying amazing view. My dachshund Maggie loved that she could come with.
We had a great time, thank you André and Judith.
It is a special place to stay and no expense is to much to make it as comfortable as possible. Others try to introduce the environment. See you definitely again!
The view was breathtaking. We really relaxed and the accommodation was very nice and tidy. The nicest thing was to open those curtains every morning and be able to experience the beautiful view. We immediately felt welcome. We will definitely stay there again in the future.
