I was in paradise!
This is the most beautiful, neat place with the best location I have ever stayed in by the sea! Absolutely everything is there, good quality and nothing is missing, we were hopelessly short, next time we will just come much longer! Open the front door and everyone says wow! Lay on your bed and watch the waves break, stand in the well-equipped kitchen and watch the waves break, quickly go down to the golden beach and feel the waves break, big wow! Special place, friendly people and the nicest home.

Thank you for your review. People may not take shortcuts to the beach on our private footpath. We will be looking into ways in which to block that access. There is a public washline about 50m from the house that everyone uses for their washing and beach towels which are perfectly safe, but for convenience sake, we will look into putting up some sort of retractable washline that does not take away from the beauty of The Whale Place.
We are so happy that you had a lovely stay and look forward to seeing you in Witsand again.
Kind regards

Breathtaking view, luxurious, affordable accommodation with absolutely everything needed.
We were a bit apprehensive about the mixed accommodation in the resort, but once The Whale House's door opens, you don't know about your neighbours. It would be hard to find a better location with a better view. Right on the sea. The wonderful house is luxurious, tasteful, modern, excellently equipped, painstakingly neat and clean, with a surprise here and there. More than one family can have a great time here. There's even a washing machine and a freezer, not to mention all the bathrooms. It was quite cold and wet, but still we could hardly get away from the lovely porch, from where we could smooch into whales. Plus more than one braai spot. Just remember there are stairs, but my 81 year old companion had no trouble with them. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of paradise. Hope to come again soon.
