Our stay at Whalers was too relaxing.

Amy has such a heart of gold and she made us feel so welcomed. Travelling with young kids can be challenging but Whalers made it seem so easy. Thank you. Whalers is definitely a winner. We loved the fact that no one had to wait to take a shower or use the restroom, as all rooms have its own full bathroom. The home is so clean and everything we needed was just there. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you to Amy for the open and friendly welcome and hospitality. A definite go again.

Dit was uitstekend.

My skoonma was in Suid-Afrika in Januarie en sy het Hermanus en die Gastehuis ten volle geniet. Die eienaar was baie professioneel en ons was daar vir amper 'n week en het haar net gesien toe ons inklok en dit was awesome.

Elke sent werd.

Vandat ons ingestap het by Whaler’s het Amy seker gemaak dat ons welkom voel en dat alles in plek was. Al die kamers en badkamers was skoon en netjies. Ons het meeste van ons tyd in die leefarea deurgebring waar die pool tafel gesorg het vir ekstra pret. Ons het elke minuut geniet en is opreg dankbaar. Sal definitief weer teruggaan.

From the moment we walked into Whaler's, Amy made sure we felt welcome and that everything was in place. All the rooms and bathrooms were clean and tidy. We spent most of our time in the living area where the pool table provided extra fun. We enjoyed every minute and are truly grateful. Will definitely go back again.

Ek sal Whalers Self-Catering aan enigiemand aanbeveel, want dis regtig waarde vir geld en so mooi netjies en skoon.

Uitstekende plek vir `n langvakansie of selfs `n vinnige naweek-wegbreek. Netjies en skoon en volledig toegerus, so jy hoef net jou kos en klere te pak. Baie beïndruk met Whalers Self-Catering.

Heerlike kuier-huis.

Ons het ons 3 aande by Whalers Self catering baie geniet! Dis 'n groot huis met groot badkamers. Die leefvertrek het 'n binne-braai en pooltafel. Dit het die manne lekker besig gehou. Die buite-braaier en swembad was 'n bonus! Die kombuis is klein maar het alles wat mens nodig het, ook 'n skottelgoedwasser met seep verskaf. Dit het die kuier saam met ons vriende baie vergemaklik! Baie dankie, Amy! Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir 'n groep vriende of familie wat lekker wil saam kuier!

Lovely visiting house.

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at Whalers Self catering! It's a big house with big bathrooms. The living room has an indoor braai and pool table. It kept the men busy. The outdoor grill and pool was a bonus! The kitchen is small but has everything you need, including a dishwasher with soap. It made hanging out with our friends a lot easier! Thank you so much, Amy! I would definitely recommend it to a group of friends or family who want to have a good time together!

Daar is genoeg ruimte vir almal, alle nodige toerusting, genoeg badkamers en sommer 'n lekker kuierplek.

Ons het werklik baie lekker gebly. Die enigste wat ons misverstaan het, was die TV. Daar is DStv-fasiliteite, maar slegs vir die heel eerste dekodeerders wat uitgekom het. Dalk moet dit net so aangedui word. Ons Explora het dus nie gewerk nie, maar gelukkig het ons 'n laptop gehad om die rugby (Bokke vs Australië) te kon kyk.

There is enough space for everyone, all necessary equipment, enough bathrooms and just a nice place to hang out.

We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing we misunderstood was the TV. There are DStv facilities, but only for the very first decoders that came out. Maybe it should just be indicated that way. So our Explora didn't work, but luckily we had a laptop to be able to watch the rugby (Goats vs Australia).

Thanks for the positive review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
I did send a mail regarding the DStv that it's not PVR just normal DStv.
Sorry about that. I will have a look into upgrading our connection.

Perfekte jongmenshuis, naby die middedorp.

Dit was ons derde keer by Whalers en ons sal definitief weer teruggaan. Ons kuier lekker daar saam met al ons vriende. Dit is skoon, netjies en ruim. Die stort se drukking is nie van die beste nie, maar alles is netjies en skoon.

We had a good stay and the pool is lovely. The rooms are clean and neat - though I personally think that the family room would benefit from a makeover.
