Beautiful accommodation for 7 with great facilities and amazing sunset views.

The property was perfect and accommodated all 7 of us comfortably. The sunset view was one of the best. The host checked in regularly with me and shared information about activities prior to arrival and while we were there. They were excellent hosts.

Great option in Gansbaai!

Great holiday cottage, that looks out on the sea and can comfortably house up to 6 people. We could see whales right from the deck of the house! Irma was very helpful too and was there for checkin and checkout.

If Whale Sea Cottage will have us, we will definitely stay there again!

Property was self-catering. But there was coffee, tea, milk sugar available at the property. We arrived late at night and Irma and Tanya were there to meet us and show us around. The property has everything you need. A gas hob, electric oven, a lovely large fridge with plenty of space, hot water, good water pressure, plenty bath towels and pool towels. Plus, the pool is heated so we were able to swim at night. And we had free WiFi. We did not switch on the television so I cannot comment on that. The 5 of us staying there were totally satisfied with the property and will stay there again if we travel that side of the world.

Lovely stay at Whale Sea Cottage and we enjoyed it very much. I would highly recommend staying here

I loved the heated pool! That was definitely the highlight of my stay. The house had everything that we needed and it was lovely falling asleep with the sound of the waves. The kids loved the location, as it was quick to tidal pool and rocks for fishing. Magical sunsets.
