A beautiful apartment with stunning views. A truly magical place with very friendly service. A great location and some where rather special. The apartment was spotless. A wonderful experience. More

Whale of a time was a great little place. We stayed in the Stone Cottage which was really charming. The views were amazing from every window! Unfortunately it is not whale season, but spectacular view nonetheless. It really had everything we needed. There were quite a few steps to and from the cottage, but this was clearly communicated to us... More

We had a unbelievable holiday at a whale of a time, where nothing was a problem, and all the staff and management were terrific. The view of the sea, sunrises to die for, and the whales in the bay was beyond all expectations. The apartments were spotless and serviced daily with such friendly staff.

I lost my heart at "A Whale of a time". This was not the 1st time that we stayed there. I love the place. From the balcony I can relax, read and enjoy the sights & sounds from the ocean.

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.

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

My wife and I just returned from a fabulous trip to the cape peninsula, south africa. We spent 5 nights at A Whale of a Time. We were greeted first by Right Whales directly in front of our apartment! The gorgeous view of False Bay was right there at every moment. The whales really must also find this a great... 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
