Reviews and Ratings
I had an unforgettable stay at Whale View Manor, where the setting was stunning, and I was treated to breathtaking views of the ocean right from my room. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel at home. The breakfast was a highlight, fresh and delicious, but I encountered issues with the spa services that left me disappointed. Overall, while the experience was mostly fantastic, the spa service really let down the full potential of my stay.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and lovely views. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff provided exceptional hospitality throughout my visit. Breakfasts were delicious, but I found the parking situation quite challenging, and the steep stairs could be a problem for some guests. Overall, I felt it was a great value for the price, with easy access to the beach right across the road.
I had an incredible stay at Whale View Manor, where the spectacular views and friendly service made my experience memorable. The comfortable rooms allowed me to enjoy breathtaking sunrises, and the breakfast spread was a delightful way to start the day. However, I did face some connectivity issues with Wi-Fi, which can be a challenge if you need to stay connected. Overall, this boutique hotel’s charm and location make it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to explore the Cape Peninsula.
My stay was a pleasant surprise with beautiful surroundings and outstanding views. However, some aspects were disappointing, particularly regarding cleanliness in certain areas and the service quality at times. Overall, I enjoyed the experience immensely and look forward to returning.
My stay at Whale View Manor was a mix of highs and lows. The location was absolutely breathtaking with a stunning view of the sea, and the owners made me feel truly welcome. However, the service at the spa was below expectations and really detracted from the overall experience. Thankfully, the room itself was beautiful and comfortable, but a little more attention to service details could make a big difference.
