It was everything we wanted and more.

The peaceful and quiet area. The beach and even though it was raining the first two days we had a marvelous time indoors with games and movies. I would most definitely go back.

Die huis is baie goed geleë, dit het alles wat jy nodig het, baie netjies en skoon. Ons almal was baie beïndruk met die verblyf.

Ons was 6 grootmense en 3 kinders tussen die ouderdom van 9 en 12. See is loopafstand en veilig genoeg vir kinders om alleen onder by die strand te speel. Daar is genoeg spasie vir almal so n mens het nie opgeknop gevoel nie. Definitief die geld werd.

We were 6 adults and 3 children between the ages of 9 and 12. Sea is within walking distance and safe enough for children to play alone down by the beach. There is enough space for everyone so you don't feel cramped. Definitely worth the money.

Modern double-storey house with partial sea view.

A stylish and modern detached house in a security development with parking off-road for four cars. There are three bedrooms downstairs with one shower en-suite with a safe. There is a second bathroom on the ground floor. The kitchen, dining, lounge area is open-plan. The covered patio with barbecue has a partial sea view and is protected against the south-easterly wind. The first floor has two bedrooms with a shower room and lounge with a TV. Appliances included a large fridge-freezer and a washing machine, but a dishwasher was absent. For power cuts, a gas bottle with single hob and rechargeable battery light was provided. The Wi-Fi stops working during rolling blackouts.

Pragtige huis met fantastiese ligging, lekker gekuier.

Huis is gerieflik, behalwe vir die TV wat op die boonste vloer is, nie toeganklik vir persoon wat gestremd is nie, dieselfde geld vir die badkamer waar die stort in die bad is. Anders was alles baie gemaklik, netjies en skoon!

Gesellig, goed toegerus, goeie kommunikasie.

Uitstekende ligging, pragtige uitsig met toegang tot strand binne 'n paar meter. Goed toegerus i.t.v. breekware, skoonmaakmiddels, handdoeke, bordspeletetjies. Genoeg spasie vir 'n groot groep mense i.t.v. sitpleek, banke, stoepplek en tafels. Oopplan-kombuis sorg vir 'n kuier om die potte. Lieflike plek!

Beste naweek ooit.

Ons is 'n groep dames van 12 en ons het 'n baie lekker tyd gehad. Alles was in plek om ons ontbyt en kossies voor te berei. Die feit dat daar 3 badkamers met storte was, het baie gehelp vir so 'n groot span. Die beste was dat die seewater basies in ons agtertuin was. Ons beoog om defnitief weer die The Whale Tale Villa te bespreek in die toekoms.

Best weekend ever.

We are a group of 12 ladies and we had a very nice time. Everything was in place to prepare our breakfast and snacks. The fact that there were 3 bathrooms with showers helped a lot for such a large team. The best part was that the sea water was basically in our back garden. We definitely intend to book The Whale Tale Villa again in the future.

Beautiful home and a welcome stay after camping.

Whale Tale Villa is a beautiful home, so close to the beach and nice and safe for the kids to roam and explore within the estates boundaries. I would love to go back and spend more time there. The owner, Warren, is most helpful and quick to reply on an electrical issue that was promptly sorted out. Everything you need is there. Perhaps just one tiny tweak, and that is to upgrade the cleaning service, but I know December times are difficult for those services due to overbooking. I will definitely recommend this to my friends.

Hi there, thank you for your review, we will be in communications with our cleaning service company to see what options there might be during peak periods. So glad you had a good time!

Baie lekker gekuier. Ruim huis. Lekker stoep.

Die enigste negatiewe punt was die massas vlieë wat ons oorval het. Dit het so ’n bietjie onspan gedemp. Daar was niks behalwe ’n vlieëplak om van hulle ontslae te raak nie.

'n Ongelooflike huis wat ons groot familie hartlik verwelkom het.

Baie lekker huis wat goed ingerig is, dankie vir die flinke diens met die geiser. Enigste aanbeveling vir ons lui stadsjapies is dalk 'n skottelgoedwasser en waaiers vir die kamers. Maar sal enige dag weer terugkeer!

3 night stay-over new year.

A lovely house in a great location. I enjoyed my stay but there needs to be some adjustment to the hot water cylinder. We were a party of 6 adults and 5 children. If 2 people showered in the morning then there was no hot water for others or for washing up. I just don't feel that this is acceptable in accommodation cost R4500 per night.

The Whale Tale Villa 's response

Hi Stephen,

We are glad you enjoyed your stay at The Whale Tale Villa.

Thank you for the feedback regarding the hot water cylinder. We did get a report from guests that stayed at the Villa after your departure regarding intermittent problems with the hot water, this was due to a faulty geyser element. This was repaired the same day it was reported. The house's geyser system is sufficient to cater for up to 12 guests.

We do apologize for any inconvenience caused during your stay.

Sincerely,
Warren and Megan

A lovely experience with beautiful views and sunrise and sunsets! Some tiny things could be improved.

We had a lovely experience with the Whale Tale Villa. The host contacted us beforehand and was very helpful with info. The house had a very handy layout of rooms. We were 3 families, 2 with children (young children and teenagers) and 1 without, and it suited us very well. The kitchen was well equipped and we were very happy with the child friendly crockery. The only thing we missed though was space for our groceries. We were a total of 12 and couldn't pack away our dry groceries and it had to stand on top of the cupboards for the whole weekend. Another thing we missed was a small bin in the bathrooms. Besides this, we would definitely come again!
