38 guests' feedbackTerribly nice stay! Chris was helpful and went out of his way for us. Will definitely visit again.
The host, Chris, was fantastic with all the info he send regarding the different activities in Gansbaai. The location we stayed at allowed us to take early morning and sunset beach walks. Whale watch was really a home away from home for us. No loud noise really just a relaxed weekend. Thanks, Chris will definitely recommend it and come again.
Will stay there again. Very nice, everything works and is clean. There is DStv and no load shedding because the owner put in batteries.
We are very satisfied with our stay. What you see is what you get. Very friendly owners and respect one's privacy.
Very nice place, everything you need for a holiday is there. The owner is very friendly and happy to help.
Very neat accommodation and very well maintained. Thank you for a great stay.
Nice stay. The host was very supportive.
The environment was stunning with good views all around. We would like to extend our gratitude to Mr and Mrs Swart for a great and pleasant stay at their place it was an awesome moment for us as it helped us to build long lasting memories of good friendship.
Lots of little extras that make the stay even more enjoyable. Very nice barbecue place. Will definitely go again.
Very friendly owner, braai equipment and garage supplied for car. Had a great time, would go back anytime.
It was nice and comfortable.
Unit is poorly designed: sink too small with solid faucet (can't get your head in sink); shower bath does not have a footrest or fixed soap dish; towel rails too short to hang bath towel on. Positive: friendliness serious helpfulness of owners.
We were received very kindly and the accommodation was very good.
Thank you to the owner that made our stay a memorable one. The house had everything you needed for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. The beds were very comfortable and let us all sleep really well. We enjoyed the enclosed and private braai area the most. Will definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to go away to Gansbaai.
Hosts are very friendly and helpful.
The couple at Whale Watch were very sweet and accommodating. They genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay. We really had a good time.
We had such a great time at this accommodation. The accommodation comfortably sleeps 6 people in 3 individual rooms. We were greeted with a safe, clean, modern apartment which included some nice, tasteful artwork from the owner's wife. There is even a garage to park your car. The apartment is equipped with everything you need to have a relaxing break away from a busy schedule. The owner, Chris, not only made us feel comfortable and welcomed, he also has a lot of great knowledge about Gansbaai and provided us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and activities for us to enjoy in Gansbaai. My only complaint is that our stay at Whale Watch accommodation went by so fast. We will definitely stay at Whale Watch again. Thank you, Chris, for being an amazing host.
Clean and sunny. The fabulous owners make you feel so welcome you want to stay forever. You only need to take you food, the house has absolutely everything you need - plus the owners wife's original paintings all over!
Good area lovely beach and wonderful hosts.
Chris was very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our 2 days. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed. Kitchen has everything you need. The living room is beautiful, but a bit cramped.
The place is very clean and tidy, has everything you need to enjoy a nice holiday or break. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Very neat and clean place with everything you need. Chris is an excellent host and very helpful. Will stay there again.
Whale Watch was a lovely accommodation place. It's very neat and clean. There was everything we needed. We were received with kindness and the owner Chris was able to give us thorough knowledge about any questions we had. Chris and Pauline went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and carefree. The braai place is nice and secluded, and there are walking paths near the house. We stayed 6 nights and could have easily stayed another week!
This compact unit was neat, clean and well laid out and organised. We were met by the friendly host and given a thorough orientation of the premises as well as things to do in the surrounds. The base is perfect as a sleeping place to travel from and to settle back in the evenings. Although it can accommodate 6 people, it is great for a family - would not be as good for 2 or 3 couples looking for a weekend away as the braai area is quite disjointed from the house. I would definitely go there again with my family if I wanted to visit Gansbaai and the surrounding areas.
Nice apartment behind the house. Neat and precise, garage has direct access to the apartment. Very safe. 12min walk from the sea. Road traffic unfortunately makes more noise than the roar of the sea.
Friendly reception, wonderful guests, extremely comfortable apartment. Conveniently located near Gansbaai, Franskraal - a visit of a thousand!
The place was very nice, comfortable and tidy. Would only recommend putting out extra toilet paper, black bags, coffee and sugar. Also that the salt and pepper jars are filled. The advertisement can also include what guests must bring with them. But other than that Chris was very helpful and friendly we felt at home we will definitely stay there again the braai pit is awesome. You can have fun there and Gansbaai is beautiful.
We did not have the weather expected in January. Rained and stormed for 3 days. Did not ruin our break at all as there is lots of reading material, fluffy cosy blankets and exceptionally comfortable beds. Great cooking facilities and every channel of TV one could want. Chris was very welcoming an his wife Pauline's art work added to ambience of a cottage near the sea. Security is excellent. Many thanks!
The bedrooms were fine but the dining/sitting/kitchen area is far too small for 4 people. There were 3 of us and we very very cramped, especially as there is no table for meals, just a kitchen counter which is inadequate. Our host was very pleasant and approachable.
We found the accommodation fresh and so inviting. The bedrooms had fresh linen and made you feel you are now officially stress free and relaxed.
The place is beautiful and a pleasure to visit with all the necessary items and well equipped with everything we wanted to use, even the bedding and towels were included. It was a great pleasure to be able to stay there for the weekend. Our vehicles were also safely in a garage and behind a locked gate which made it an even bigger bonus. The people's hospitality was excellent.
Very tidy with all the facilities one needs for a nice break. Would definitely recommend to anyone. For couples up to a family of 4 and extra room for 2 more people. Total sleeping space for 6 people. Secure parking for 2 vehicles. Hospitality is top quality. Whale Watch Accommodation will definitely see me again!
See stars.
Was very pleasant. Friendly and quick welcoming. Enjoyed the privacy.
Thank you very much Chris. We had a great time with you. Is perfect for a family with small kids. The unit is super clean, with tasteful furniture and decor. Nice barbecue place outside. Very safe. Klipgat caves are a must. The most beautiful piece of earth.
Definitely a beautiful place, nice accommodation and very friendly and hospitable people.
On arrival, the owner was surprised about who we were. There is a steep staircase. The water was off during one stay. We left earlier than planned. Please check the website carefully before placing accommodation on their website.
