Onvergeetlike, lekker naweek.

Ek sal The Whale on Main aanbeveel, oor en oor vir baie goeie diens, uitstekende gasvrou en gasheer. Ons het vanaf die aankoms tuisgevoel. Die kamer was uitstekend. Alles netjies en gemaklik. Die ontbyt in die oggend was baie lekker. Sommer 'n lekker begin vir die dag. Baie dankie! Ons kom weer sommer gou terug. Mag julle besigheid geseënd bly.

Everything neat and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was very nice. Just a nice start to the day. Thank you very much! We'll be back soon. May your business remain blessed.

We were welcomed warmly and made to feel at home from the minute that we arrived.

Zeno and Marlene showed us great kindness from before we even checked in to their lovely guesthouse. Thereafter we were able to enjoy a lovely room that has everything you could need, in an easy to find location that is close to town, the walking trails, and the beach, but yet still offers peace and tranquility. It was a great experience, and I look forward to going back in the future!

Luuks, netjies en tog baie huislik!

Lieflike plek met uitstekende gasvryheid! Die kamers is skoon, luuks en ruim. Ons is baie vriendelik deur Zeno ontvang en Marlene se ontbyt was heerlik! Zeno en Marlene is vriendelike mense wat jou soos familie in stede van gaste laat voel. Baie dankie julle en ek sal jul plekkie beslis aanbeveel! Well done!
