Cheap accommodation without any luxuries.
The word lodge is a bit misleading because it's actually more backpacker-type accommodation. Tiny kitchen, not equipped at all for loadshedding. You share bathrooms and other facilities with other guests. The pillows on the beds have seen better days. There not loadshedding light bulbs in all the rooms. The ones that were there were "mush". Wifi signal was also very weak. Hostess was friendly and helpful. If you are looking for cheap accommodation and expect no luxuries, White Shark is the right place for you. It 100% met our need, but I wouldn't want to stay longer than 2 days.

Misleidende advertensie.

Misleading advertisement.
You advertise the place as a lodge. It also says so on the front of the house. However, it is a backpacker principle where you get a room and have to share everything else, kitchen, bathroom, etc. The advertisement is misleading and embarrassing for me when we have to spend the night there with our friends. The bedding and towels smell of smoke. The other person in the house sat watching TV at 5:00 in the morning, with the sound on because it was disturbing to the rest of the guests. The place is not in good condition, couches in living room are dirty. Walls dirty in places. The light in the bathroom didn't work when we got back from the wedding at 10pm. Disappointed! I have always used websites for our stay planning but this is a disappointment.

White Shark Lodge 's response
Die webtuiste se uitdruklik dat badkamers gedeel word.
Die sitkamer meubels is splinternuut oor getrek, en niemand mag rook in gastehuis nie, daar is 'n buite rook stoep.
Ek was nie bewus van 'n lig wat nie gewerk het nie.
Ja, die huis is op die see gelee en in die winter sal daar hier en daar muf kolle op die mure wees van klammigheid.

A wonderful place to stay with all amenities and a lovely sea view from the living room.
It is a wonderfully quiet section by the sea and from there walkers can walk in different directions. We didn't feel unsafe anywhere when we went for a walk. Vehicles park outside in front of the lodge, but we weren't worried about that. The facilities (kitchen and 2 bathrooms) are shared if other people are also booked in the lodge. Everything was very neat, clean and comfortable and we had a wonderful stay and slept.

I was in Gansbaai for work and needed a place to sleep for the evening. White Shark was ideal.
White shark is more suitable for younger people and students, or for a large group of friends. I will e.g. don't necessarily take my girlfriend there unless it's just for a 'stopover' as bathrooms are shared. I would definitely go again on my own or with a group of friends. I must draw attention to the fact that the address is wrongly listed as no. 11 Hill st. was sent to me. The correct address is no. 4 Hill st. So I had to drive around a bit and search. But otherwise service and communication was very good.

Very nice.
Only the wind was unpleasant. Furthermore, my stay was very pleasant and I will go again. The rooms do not have a sea view, but the lounge has a beautiful sea view. I spent a lot of time on the sofa in front of the lounge window. I did shorten my 3 night stay to just 2 due to the weather.

More of a place for a student.
Had to take a cold shower in the morning, shower. The shower drain was clogged. We had to move in and out through the back kitchen door. They charge guesthouse prices but one receives a backpacker experience. View is very nice but can only see view from living room which has to share with everyone.
