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.

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 and we didn't mind at all-I thought it added to the charm. Along the coast there is a main road and a railway with a frequent train. This was the only negative about the location. The train was a bit squealy and irritating early in the morning and traffic ppicks up early so if you have the windows open you will definitely hear it. The residents' pool is right in front of the cottage, which was fine for us because no one used it, but it may be a little imposing if a bunch of people hang around the pool. There are separate entrances to the main floor and second floor that require different keys which also is a bit cumbersome. Mavis was our housekeeper and was very sweet and helpful. We didn't really see the office staff, but we didn't go looking either.

I would recommend this place to friends and stay again.

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.
If you want my personal recommendations for a place to stay in Cape Town, you need not look any further. You are so close to wine farms, cape point nature reserve, the famous boulders penguins, awesome deep sea fishing, stunning safe beaches and seafood restaurants. We had a great game of golf at Clovelly golf course on our doorstep.

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. We have seen the whales last October 2009 must better from the balcony than from the whale boat. Fishhoek en Kalkbay are magical little villages - and you can see it from the balcony. The rooms are spacious, clean and the manangement is excellent. A Whale of a time is the best place to stay in the Cape! You explore the whole Capetown area from there. Charming! I love A whale of a time! I will go back!
