Oulike kamer wat jou laat voel of jy tuis is. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Die tannie was verskriklik baie oulik.

Ons verblyf was maar kort, maar dit was regtig aangenaam. Ons is vriendelik ontvang. Die kamer waarin ons moes gaan was nie beskikbaar omdat hulle verbeterings aangebring het. Ons is bederf met beter kamers.

Simply relaxing and chatting to Tobie.

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.

Waarde vir geld, maar kan meer doen.

Geen wasbakfasiliteite in kombuis of enige skoonmaakmiddels. Die parkering voor die huis en kamers agter laat ook 'n onrustigheid oor die voertuig wat nie sigbaar is of agter geslote hekke.

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.

In vergelyking met ander plekke op die webtuiste waar ons oorgeslaap het, vergelyk Blue Whale swak wat gehalte en prys betref.

Dit het vir ons gevoel asof alles vuil was - die braairoosters en braaitang was om die minste te sê smerig (ons het nie probeer braai nie), die mikrogolfoond was vuil binne-in, die yskas was vuil binne-in, daar was miere in die kombuis, oral spinnerakke. Die afwerking was oud, WiFi baie frustrerend. Die plek is oorprys in vergelyking met ten minste 4 ander plekke waar ons ook bespreek het.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Compared to other places on the site where we have stayed, Blue Whale compares poorly in terms of quality and price.

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.

Struisbaai is 'n lieflike plek.

Tonie en Tersa is baie vriendelik en gasvry. Werklik waarde vir geld. Ons kamer het 'n pragtige mural gehad wat jou laat voel het dat jy op die stand is. Blue Whale se eienaars is baie behulpsaam met raad oor reis in omgewing, kos. Skoon, netjiese blyplek. Lekkerste ontbyt net skuins oorkant die pad van Blue Whale geëet. Winkels loopafstand van Blue Whale. Lekker gestap in koel seelug van hul huis tot by SANParke se Agulhas-lighuis. Tersia se artstudio-skilderye is pragtig. Baie dankie. Heerlik gerus.

I expected more.

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.

Good day Monique,

Thank you for your review. It was great to have you as a guest at Blue Whale. The unit you stayed at, Blue Whale 4, does not have a TV, fridge or microwave.
