Overall Ratings & Reviews Whales Way Ocean Retreat

Great breakfast, great view, comfortable bed and really friendly people!

Really relaxed friendly staff, very warm welcome to the hotel. Fabulous breakfast!!we won’t be eating again till late tonight!! Amazing fruit salad with creamy yogurt, and a cooked breakfast with so many variations. Would highly recommend Almost forgot…. The location and views are stunning!!

Easily accessible, very clean and neat and the breakfast was amazing

Warm welcome from Benji for our one night stay. Lovely views from the hotel out to sea. Room very comfortable and everything you would need. Would definitely stay again if in the area. Fab breakfast ! Thank you.

Host was in a hurry to check us in as had to be somewhere else. I have a health condition that requires breathing aparatus, unfortunately there was no free sockets nearby to plug my machine in.

Everything was beautiful and wonderful

We stayed in the top floor loft which is absolutely amazing. Ralph is very nice and prepares excellent breakfast. The view of the ocean from the balcony is breathtaking.

Really friendly place to stay, right beside the sea. Saw three pods of dolphins from the balcony.. a nice secluded place offeing wonderful breakfasts! Highly recommended.

Very good value and fabulous sea views. The room was fine and clean. What was memorable was the breakfast the fresh fruit, granola and yogourt followed by Ralphs full english this was very good. A car is necessary to go into Wilderness for dinner

Right on the beach. Book one of the top floors to get the best views. If you don’t, you’ll still have a great view at breakfast from the huge deck! Comfortable rooms too

A great location with a fantastic view and made to order breakfast, for how inexpensive it is to stay there; you can't do much better.

Stayed for two nights, great guesthouse. Room service excellent, bedding lovely. Breakfast is perfect. Host friendly and very helpful.

Very pleasant stay. Breathtaking views of the ocean. Unfortunately we only spent one night at this place. Owner ever so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend

Great spot. Staff were friendly - service excellent

Stunning sea views. Lovely all white room with great bathroom and kitchenette. Super friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.

Kind staff and a great breakfast to top off a pleasant stay in Wilderness.

The staff was friendly from check in through departure procedures. Breakfast was a nice experience and a great opportunity to interact with staff and other guests. As an oceanfront property, the views and the sound of waves were a nice addition.

If you want a view of the Wilderness Beach from high above while you are served a breakfast by the friendliest staff in South Africa, book this place. A short walk down the street leads to a wooden stairway down to a beach that I thought only existed in my dreams. We stayed 10 nights and by the time we left we were old friends with the staff. Tears were shed when we left.

the "beach room" photos are misleading. you cannot see the beach from the room and in fact there is no beach near the room. The house is set across the street from a cliff that looks over the ocean. I was not able to receive a wifi connection in this room, as it is isolated down on the ground level away from the rest of the house. The air conditioner did not work, which was why I booked the room in the first place. No effort was ever made to fix this. On the first morning the manager woke me up to serve me breakfast in my room, in which case I'm sure she had the best of intentions but I was dealing with the stomach flu and would have preferred to sleep in late and not eat. The lock to the door was in need of repair, as it was very difficult to work with and always took several minutes to lock/unlock. I left after 2 nights and moved on to a different hotel. I wouldn't stay here again.

Great
