Located up a hill, A Whale of a Time was the perfect respite. The caretakers were courteous and helpful and the amenities and proximity to the beach made it an ideal way to end a wonderful trip. An easy drive away from Muizenberg and Simon's Town. A great place to hang your hat while you relax. more

This beautiful, spacious room overlooked False Bay. It is a gorgeous view. The rooms have kitchens and patios. Our room was clean and tidy. The only thing that was a problem was the cold. We arrived in winter and the only heat we were provided was a tiny electric heater. more

It is the best place to stay: the accommodation itself, the biggest beds we have ever had, good shower, big kitchen, good pool in the garden. Every day they cleaned the apartment. Then the location is the best in the area, a 5 minute walk to the sea, another 5 minutes to the sandy beach of Vishoek. Near Cape Town,... more

Great location is what sells this self contained property with views to die for!! The staff were very helpful and friendly and nothing seemed a bother to them.

We stayed here for 4 nights during July 06. Absolutely wonderful. Stunning views from rooms across the Bay (unfortunately we didn't manage to see the whales as our weather wasn't very good). Very quiet, very safe. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. On good days you get your breakfast served on the veranda whereas the rainy days its served at... more
