Come a casa!

Il nostro miglior soggiorno in Sudafrica! Bella struttura in posizione tranquilla immersa nella natura ed un bel giardino curato con amore. Camere pulite e spaziose. Ottime colazioni sempre varie e possibilità anche per una buona cena fatta in casa. Rapporto qualità/prezzo top. Grazie per l'ospitalità!

Racist abusive Owners

Nothing to like about

You reach the owner watched us and kept watching, they were totally racist, ,We booked two rooms they insisted we pay more as we didn't put in the right amount of guests. thereafter we paid again and they wanted us to leave immediately saying we didn't tell them how many guests everything we spoke they turned around.they saw us all entering they asked for more . Although we paid and it included breakfast we weren't allowed to eat and they were Verbally abusive Infront of their guests. They new in south Africa foreigners, their totally abusive to human beings. We've to hundreds of accommodation and never experienced this before. either they learn how to treat guests of all religions or leave our country

Wow all the way!

The service was absolutely excellent and the hosts went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The rooms were serviced every day (even though it was over the New Year's weekend), and we had the most fabulous daily breakfast that I've ever experienced in similar accommodation - especially the freshly baked pastries. The property is set in a lovely leafy area, with a beautiful garden and space to relax and enjoy a BBQ.

The only disappointment - NOT the fault of the hosts - was the fact that it was a little overcast so we were unable to do the long walks that we planned for our trip. Definitely something to look forward to for the next visit!

If you are looking for a home away from home these hosts who will treat you like family.

bWhale Air B&B was beyond our expectations. The hosts' exceptional warmth, the mouthwatering food, the beautiful house and the immaculate location made it a truly unforgettable experience.

Gastvrij, prachtige omgeving en van alle gemakken voorzien!

Geweldig ontvangst en prachtige plek. Het Belgische gezin die de b&b runt is waanzinnig gastvrij en vriendelijk. Ze hebben alles prachtig gerenoveerd en het is van alle gemakken voorzien. Het is jammer dat we maar 1 nacht konden blijven want ze boden ook leuke activiteiten aan zoals braaien op vrijdag. Het ontbijt was waanzinnig en allemaal huis gemaakt en vers. Een absolute aanrader als je op zoek bent naar een kleinschalige b&b met hele goede service en tussen de prachtige natuur.

Alles was top!

EVERYTHING!! My hosts were the BEST. Quick response to my late check in, even waited for me and still showed us around. So so friendly. The BnB itself is in a beautiful, tranquil location close to everything at the same time. The rooms are squuuuicky CLEAN and we had the BEST sleep in their firm mattresses (we actually want to get the brand of bed they have that's how comfy it is) We were treated to a beautiful breakfast with a fruit, homemade yogurt and muesli. Followed by a choice of breakfast so delicious, homely and warmly served. We left so inspired by our hosts' hospitality and the friendly staff. Definitely coming back here

Nothing at all, we had a perfect stop over from Coffee Bay yo Cape Town

Exceptional B&B--Awesome Daily Homemade Baked Goods for Breakfast!

This B&B is excellent! The host are so friendly and helpful. The breakfast is made from scratch each day, from fresh breads to pastries and more. Plus, the fresh baked goods vary every day, and every single item we ate was delicious. The carrot cake was a family favorite. The hosts have a joy in their hospitality and food preparation, and it shows in everything they do. We also ate Christmas Eve dinner at the lodge. They served fresh caught fish, mash potatoes, and salad straight from the garden. It was such a wonderfully homemade meal that was healthy and amazing. It was just the break from "restaurant" food we needed. The rooms and garden are perfectly cleaned and styled. The wifi was good for digital nomads and there are nice work spaces in the lounge and porch. The shower has great pressure. We were all dragging our feet when we had to check out. We would have liked to add more days to our stay. This is a newer lodge and it will soon be hard to get a reservation when the word gets out! I highly recommend this exceptional B&B. It is excellent in value and quality.

Best place we stayed at on the garden route.

This was the best place we stayed on the garden route. They owners are so nice. They make the most amazing breakfast. Everything is so cute and comfortable.

Be aware that in the chalet there is no bathroom door and that the room gets very brights in the morning.

European efficiency melts with great South African vibes

The lovely family, which is running this little oasis, is very kind. They also offered a very tasty vegan breakfast. Keep up your great work! :)

A little door between the bathroom & the bedroom in our “Survival” lodge would give more privacy… but that is only a small detail :)
