62 guests' feedbackThe host was very friendly and helpful. He changed our room to one with a sea view when he had a cancellation. Lovely peaceful place to relax.
From our arrival to our departure we were taken care of, very friendly and helpful.
The room (loft) was massive with a breathtaking view. The hot tub was a lovely treat. We were kindly received and the breakfast was fantastic, we couldn't eat it all. We went for a walk along the beach and would definitely like to stay overnight again.
Way welcoming host. Fabulous breakfast, incredible location.
Comfortable, clean and tidy accommodation! The fresh fruit in the room was a winner! Very friendly host! You will see us again for sure!
Wonderful hosts. The area and lookout from the top rooms is something to behold.
I really enjoyed my stay at Whales Way Ocean Retreat and really appreciated being able to find accommodation at very short notice. Neat, everything was clean and the breakfast was also very tasty.
Location and reception were top!
It was a wonderful experience, neat and beautiful.
Beautiful space, great breakfast, great views but would not recommend. The hosts were unwelcoming and their phones are on loud so you hear the calls and WhatsApp pings very clearly. The garden room was very loud at night, you hear other guests, staff and every creak from the house. The bed is also on a slope so I did not enjoy the sleep.
It was great. Beautiful, peaceful and upon our arrival we were lucky enough to see two whales from our porch.
Great stay. Beautiful place.
Friendly service, excellent location and facilities and tasty breakfast. You will see us again.
Tidy. Hospitable. Breakfast is brilliant.
Will definitely come back. Enjoyed the location and the breakfast was excellent. Our host was welcoming.
Cool accommodation. Will use again in the future.
Very nice stay. Friendly reception. Great breakfast.
Building needs some renovation on the inside and outside.
Beautiful view. Delicious breakfast that is carefully served. The room was beautiful. Owner has gone to great lengths to cater for every need - lovely linen with a bow around the towels. Fresh fruit in the room. All the toiletries you need. We had a wonderful stay.
The views were spectacular. The host was excellent.
The location is excellent. The view over the sea is unbeatable - especially from the breakfast area. The breakfast is particularly delicious. The hosts are very friendly. I did expect the room to be somewhat more luxurious.
Dolphins, whales, an enormous breakfast, the most beautiful view, and that was just for one day! Wish we had stayed longer!
Guesthouses with bright exterior lights throughout the night. Should invest in "block out" at the curtains. The lights make the room dim throughout the night - especially with those white curtains. So "block out" that one can pull would work well. Safety gate or Trellidoor is essential - would like to sleep with door open for sea air and sound but a little careful. If people sleep under another room with wooden floors, then you hear quite a lot of movements and moves and shoes falling. But probably can't leave note for them to be considerate. The room was well appointed. TV is another story - couldn't get it to work but probably because I don't understand Openview - no note on how it works.
Thank you very much. We had a great stay and the breakfast every morning was delicious!
Very nice place, good service, good food.
Friendly host and nice location, out of the immediate town!
The hospitality of the owners was excellent. They go to great lengths to offer you a good visit during a difficult time for the industry. Their breakfast is top notch and their attention to detail is amazing. They make you feel like it's your own home by the sea.
Beautiful view, friendly service, delicious breakfast, will stay here again.
There was no cutlery in our room apart from coffee mugs, 2 teaspoons and glasses. No plates, small plates, knives or forks.
The stay was very pleasant and the food was really nice. Would recommend it anytime!
TV reception is poor, but internet service and speed are very good.
Was supposed to be the highlight of our honeymoon with the most expensive room per night, then turned out to be the worst stay of our 6 places we slept. Room was dirty and in need of maintenance, minimal amenities available.
Excellent location, neat accommodation, beautiful sea view. The hosts are very friendly. Nice breakfast.
Very friendly and nice breakfast. Will visit the place again.
Very comfortable room, friendly staff and delicious breakfast!
The room was neat and the bed sleeps well. The breakfast is well prepared and enough to last one the whole day. The view from the balcony/deck is amazing even though it is a short walk to the sea.
Traffic noise of trucks throughout the night.
We really just slept there and drove out during the day, but what we needed was everything there.
Beautiful view, however, it looks better on the photos than it actually is. Slept well and bubble bath worked.
Good rooms with warm reception and beautiful views.
What an amazing place to stay. Thank you for the hospitality and kindness. The view is breathtaking and it's a wonderful feeling to wake up to the sound of the waves. The upgrade was a big surprise. It's definitely a place to visit again.
Very friendly service with great breakfast! While eating breakfast you see whales playing. Rooms spacious and comfortable. Can definitely recommend it!
Very comfortable, clean unit with a beautiful view of the waves where the dolphins frolic. Anina and her team received us hospitably and also provided a delicious breakfast. Good value for money! Would recommend for sure!
We were only at Whales Way Ocean Retreat for one day. Our hostess and host made us feel very welcome and prepared a feast of a breakfast. I would highly recommend Whales Way Ocean Retreat for any business or family stay.
See stars.
We were warmly and kindly welcomed and we even got an upgrade for free to a warmer room, which is more luxurious. It was very comfortable and relaxing with the sound of the sea in your ears all night. We had a wonderful overnight stay and also sat down to a hearty breakfast the next morning.
Was beautiful and people friendly. Breakfast was delicious!
I highly recommend Whales Way. We stayed for 3 nights, and I would like to compliment the staff. They were friendly and have a high standard of excellence but what I would like to commend them on is: Its one thing to have a high standard of service but they just went out of there way to accommodate us in the extra unexpected. I highly recommend this B&B.
Room very comfortable, clean and with a beautiful view. Had a friendly reception and had a delicious breakfast every morning. Would recommend the place for sure!
We as a family really enjoyed our stay. The staff are extremely friendly and go the extra mile.
We enjoyed our 2 night stay, rooms are beautiful view unbeatable, service was friendly and good. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. Would definitely highly recommend.
Stunning place. The breakfast was delicious and something new each day. Leonie is very hospitable and we will definitely be back.
The service is excellent, friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms are stylish and very neat. Will definitely book again.
Wonderful room. Clean and comfortable. Will definitely visit longer. Breakfast stylish and deliciously fresh!
Lovely, luxury accommodation. You can sit and relax while you admire the sea view, or just chill in the Jacuzzi. A big breakfast is served on the deck early in the morning on sunny days. You don't have to worry with a hostess like Leonie! Lovely, we will definitely go again!
Loretta was great and so helpful with delicious breakfast. Will definitely be back.
We will go back, but this time in summer.
Very relaxing with friendly staff. Stunning view from room.
Very nice view and the room was neat and spacious. However, the place needs attention and staff also need to pay attention to certain details. Large spot/stain on the carpet. Bathroom switch not working. Soap dispensers for both shower and sinks were empty. TV only has 4 channels with a good picture, and most of the time the hostess who also lives there changed the channel in the middle of a program. Summary: not a bad place, my experience is that there are other places in the area that offer more value for money.
Many examples of building neglect, poorly maintained garden, loose curtains, damaged blinds, etc. Very poorly stocked bar fridge, no complimentary water, jet-bath not working, some lights not working, etc. Given the cost of accommodation this was an overall disappointment.
This place is a total disappointment for the price. We booked a room and didn't receive any benefits from the guesthouse. The place is locked so that one can not make use of the lounge or the kitchen. The Jacuzzi can also not be used because the house is locked. Our guests who came to visit us, had to sit in the room because the house was locked. The room was only serviced after 13:00 every day. The wooden floors on the top floor caused us to lie awake til late because of the noise. The noise from the washing room next door was also a problem.
