Dit was baie aangenaam. Die mense was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sal weer daar oornag.

Die ligging was pragtig en alhoewel ons in die straat parkeer het, was die motor veilig. Daar was van alles wat nodig was en die bed het heerlik geslaap.

Baie aangename verblyf en aangename mense.

Ek is baie vriendelik ontvang en het 'n lekker volle ontbyt daagliks gekry. Alles net soos ek daarvan hou. Die gastehuis self is ook 'n geskiedkundige gebou, en ek is mal oor die pragtige antieke meubels, aangesien ek self 'n liefhebber van antieke meubels is. Baie dankie aan en se dogter. Ek het lekker gebly en sal graag weer wil kom bly.

I was received very kindly and got a nice full breakfast every day. Everything just the way I like it. The guest house itself is also a historical building, and I love the beautiful antique furniture, as I am an antique furniture lover myself. Many thanks to and's daughter. I had a great stay and would love to stay again.

Van die gasvrye verwelkoming, tot die persoonlike aandag, deur die eienaar, was alles 'n woderlike ervaring.

Vandat ons teen 22:00 op Vrydagaand aangekom het, en vriendelik deur die eienaar verwelkom is en persoonlik na die kamer geneem is. Al die nabygeleë fasiliteite is aan ons uitgewys en die ontbyt was uitstekend.

Aaklig

Dit was die aakligste plek wat ek nog gebly het. Dit was vuil, die beddegoed was geskeer, handdoeke was gevlek en het glad nie skoon gelyk nie. Die stort was 'n totale riller, vuil ek dink dit was jare laas skoongemaak. Dit het gevoel of goed mens byt in die kamer! Die stoof sal ek nie eers vir my hond kos op maak nie. Die kombuis se wasbak sal ek liewers stil bly oor, dit is iets om van naar te raak! Daar was nie genoeg glase vir al die gaste nie. Die koffie wat in die houertjie was is seker al jare daar in. Foto's wat op die webverf is, is regtig bedrieglik! Die rusbank het ek nie eers gewaag om op te sit nie. Die beddens het gevoel jy slaap om die "base". Die materiaal was stukkend en hy het gestink. In my lewe nooit weer nie. Die swembad agter was groen.

Horrible

It was the most horrible place I have ever stayed. It was dirty, the bedding was shaved, towels were stained and didn't look clean at all. The shower was a total hoot, dirty I think it hadn't been cleaned in years. It felt like people were biting in the room! I won't even put food on the stove for my dog. I'd rather stay silent about the kitchen sink, it's something to get sick of! There were not enough glasses for all the guests. The coffee that was in the container must have been in there for years. Pictures that are on the web paint are really deceiving! I didn't even dare to sit on the couch. The beds felt like you were sleeping around the "bosses". The material was broken and he stank. Never again in my life. The pool behind was green.

Kusdorpie met bestuur wat plattelandse familie gasvryheid bied, in 'n ou historiese monument waar die tyd stil staan.

It is a great place but it can be better if been upgraded. I visited there 15 years last and it was good. 15 years later it still the same utilities been used which you can see that it aged. Nothing seems to be upgraded or renewed. Furthermore it's been a great stay.

Ongemaklik en onnet.

Die kamer se asblikke is nie skoongemaak van die vorige besoekers af nie, ligte wat nie werk nie, elektriese proppe se bedekking is gebreek en drade is sigbaar reg langs bed (brandgevaar). Kamer is vir 5 mense, maar daar is net sitplek vir 3 en ook 2 kroegstoele maar hulle is verwaarloos en sitvlak is gesny met spons wat weg is. Daar was nie toilet papier nie. Die badkamer se vloer is nie gelyk nie en aangesien dit op die 2de verdieping is, voel dit onveilig om daar in te gaan. Toilet is nie vas aan vloer nie en staan op hout blokkies, my 7 jarige het amper afgeval omdat die toilet tiep. Die stort is met draad aan die dak vasgemaak en staan ook nie gelyk nie. Die TV is in die slaapkamer en al die mense moet op die bed sit as hulle wil kyk. Die persone wat in die eetkamer (TV kamer) en kantoor is op die 1ste vloer, se geselskap en die TV word duidelik in die kamers gehoor. Die advertensie sê veilige parkering, maar die parkering is in die straat oorkant die gastehuis. Dit was 'n teleurstelling en ons sal beslis nie weer daar bespreek nie.

Uncomfortable and untidy.

The room's bins have not been cleaned from the previous visitors, lights that don't work, electrical plugs' covers are broken and wires are visible right next to the bed (fire hazard). Room is for 5 people but there is only seating for 3 and also 2 bar stools but they are neglected and sitting surface is cut with sponge which is gone. There was no toilet paper. The bathroom floor is not level and since it is on the 2nd floor, it feels unsafe to go in there. Toilet is not attached to the floor and stands on wooden blocks, my 7 year old almost fell off because the toilet squeaked. The shower is attached to the roof with wire and is also not level. The TV is in the bedroom and all the people have to sit on the bed if they want to watch. The company of the people who are in the dining room (TV room) and office on the 1st floor and the TV is clearly heard in the rooms. The advertisement says secure parking, but the parking is in the street opposite the guest house. It was a disappointment and we will definitely not book there again.

Really terrible experience, do not go there.

The linen was the only thing that was clean, but old and very thin. Carpets, walls, plugs, fans, light fittings were packed solid with dirt. The couch is filthy and smelly, we made very sure we were out of the apartment for the whole time we were there. Tried to get alternate accommodation but the cost would have been super high, so we were forced to stay. The owner has zero interest in this place. Shower tied up with a rusted wire and the angle of the bathroom is at such a slant one expects to fall through. Terrible experience.

Oud en afgeleef.

Ontvangs was vriendelik en kamer was relatief skoon. Dit is ongelukkig al positiewe kommentaar wat ek kan lewer. Meubels is oud en afgeleef, beddegoed is heeltemal te veel keer gewas en oorgebruik, stoele se kussings is geskeur en het gate, waaier is dik aangepak met stof en roes, ens. Die foto's op die webtuiste is baie misleidend. Die kamer en meubels lyk of dit 10 jaar terug onderhou is. Sal beslis nie weer gebruik nie.

Old and shabby.

Reception was friendly and room was relatively clean. Unfortunately, this is all the positive comments I can make. Furniture is old and shabby, bed linen has been washed and overused way too many times, chair cushions are torn and have holes, fan is thick with dust and rust, etc. The photos on the website are very misleading. The room and furniture look like they were maintained 10 years ago. Definitely will not use again.

Only 1 night.

We stayed at the place about 10 - 12 years ago and found it quite "homely" then, so we booked again for an overnight stay. Unfortunately, the place is almost the same as it was more than 10 years ago, which means it's really dilapidated and not very clean either. The hospitality was not that great either and we think the owners should retire as it does not look as though their hearts are in it anymore. While we were there, other guests checked out early and demanded their money back because of the poor accommodation - that should tell you everything.

Pleasant stay and hosts.

I fell in love with the Blue Whale Lodge the minute we walked in. It's like stepping back into the 1800's with the blue antique furniture and pictures on the wall. The lodge has a very rich history and oom Renier told us all about. I would definitely go back and make that my home away from home. Oom Renier and tannie Mariki are very pleasant and friendly. They made us feel very welcomed and at home. The kitchen staff is very friendly as well and very accommodating. We live the Blue Whale Lodge and we will recommend it to anyone.

Die eienaars van die lodge is dierbare mense. Die ontbyt was elke oggend betyds en baie aangenaam.

Dit was ons tweede keer by die lodge en in die twee jaar is daar egter geen veranderinge aangebring wat waarde kan toevoeg nie. Die plekkie is baie sentraal geleë en is regtig bekostigbaar, maar uit 'n persoonlike oogpunt kan goedjies wat nie lekker werk soos die blindings of muurproppe wat nie lekker vas is nie verbeter word. Vir gaste met kinders kan die swembad ook 'n probleem gewees het.

The owners of the lodge are lovely people. The breakfast was on time every morning and very pleasant.

It was our second time at the lodge and in the two years, however, no changes have been made that could add value. The place is very centrally located and is really affordable, but from a personal point of view things that don't work well like the blinds or wall plugs that don't fit well can be improved. For guests with children, the pool may also have been a problem.

Lekker gebly. Gasvryheid van Renier en Marietjie uit die boonste rakke. 'n Plek waar mens kan ontspan en ontlaai.

Lekker gebly. Gasheer en vrou baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Hul toegewing om ons ontbyt te laat gebruik sonder addisionele koste is iets waaraan 'n mens nie meer gewoond is nie. Dit gaan duidelik vir hul nie net oor geld nie. Die plek voer mens terug na vervloë dae.

Jammer as jul ondervinding teleurstellend was, maar mense se verwagtinge verskil. Ons poog egter om die gaste se verblyf so aangenaam en gerieflik moontlik te maak. Ons het wel baie gaste, selfs van oorsee, wat keer op keer terug kom en wat sommer weer bespreek wanneer hulle uit boek, jaar na jaar. Kyk maar net na ander rewues op die blad.

Ons gaan beslis weer daar bly.

Baie vriendelike en behulpsame eienaars. Ontbyt was heerlik met 'n verskeidenheid om van te kies. Elke dag was daar skoon beddegoed en handdoeke. As jy Mosselbaai jou hoof-bestemming maak en elke dag uitry na ander dorpe en net 'n slaapplek soek, is Blue Whale Lodge die regte plek om te bly.

Very friendly and helpful owners. Breakfast was delicious with a variety to choose from. Every day there were clean bed linen and towels.

Goeie ligging. Ruim badkamer. Dit was 'n uitstappie na vergange dae. Die buite-aansig doen nie die gasvryheid binne gestand nie. Ek sal enige tyd weer daar oorbly.

Met ons aankoms by die gastehuis is ons gasvry ontvang. Die diens was deurgaans baie goed.

Die gastehuiseienaars is baie gasvry en het ons tuis laat voel. Die ontbyt was heerlik. Die kamer is goed toegerus met die nodige geriewe. Dit is 'n baie karaktervolle huis wat die Nasionale Gedenkwaardigheid toekenning verdien. Ons sal beslis weer van hulle verblyf gebruik maak in die toekoms.

Our stay at the Blue Whale lodge was very comfortable and had an atmosphere of a home away from home. The service we were given was hospitable and friendly. As far as value for money is concerned I must say Blue Whale is brilliant. We got an amazing breakfast and greeting every morning and any of our other needs (braaing etc) were met with a smile.
