Indescribably beautiful and very comfortable.
We had a great stay and will definitely go back again. The view over the sea is indescribably beautiful and we saw many whales. The place is fully furnished with everything you need and there is enough space. The owner is very friendly and informed us of everything to see and do in Gansbaai and surrounding areas. What was disturbing were the dogs that barked incessantly when the owners left the premises until they returned, but apart from that I can recommend the place with great confidence.

Our usual accommodation was unavailable. Whale of a Time was the alternative. The place is perfect for 2 people, it is a spacious open plan room, lounge and kitchen. Not cramped at all. The bathroom is separate and there is a nice large veranda with a kettle braai and partial sea view. We would stay there again.

We had a very nice stay.
I would only suggest that visitors be warned that the unit's staircase is very very steep and dangerous. The owner himself was not willing to get on it. For young people this is certainly no problem, but for older people it is for sure, especially when all your luggage has to be carried up and down again.
