We occupied 4 double rooms upstairs (all with sea views). The second evening we used the braai facilities and... More

A delightful stay in a lovely serene spot. The staff where wonderful. The owners could not be more helpful and they serve a great breakfast cooked to your specific preference. The rooms where immaculate with lots of lovely local artwork.

A good clean establishment, my only suggestion would be to put a shelf up in the bathroom to put your toiletries on. A little far out of the centre of the town so it was very peaceful. The hosts were very helpful about places to visit.

I stayed with my two sisters here at the end of March. The guest house is on Grotto beach which is 5-10 minute drive outside the town. This was fine for us as we had a car but it may be an inconvenience to others. It is a nice quaint guesthouse. There were cats and we're not cat lovers!! The... More

Not sure why this hotel has such rave reviews.. Rooms are ok but not as large as people seem to be saying. The place would have been awesome a few years back. Typically when a hotel is soe highly rated you expect a hell of a lot. If you lower your expectations you are likely to be pleasantly surprised. Make... More

Worth going out of your way to stay there !! The room was large and well appointed, generally comfortable and a lovely bathroom/shower. Breakfast was very good and thoroughly recommended. The owner, Paula put astonishing amount of thought into this B&B ... creating levels of comfort and homeliness that are outstanding. They are wheelchair-friendly too.

Visiting from UK, SA, Australia and New Zealand after our daughter's wedding near Robertson, with a group of 22 friends and family. We were instantly made to feel extremely welcome by Nato and Paula. Baleens is, as already mentioned, clean, simple, excellent value for money and a perfect base for visitors to the area for one or more nights. Breakfast... More
