Agulas is sentraal om baie besienswaardighede te besoek.

Ons het lekker gebly, behalwe vir 'n paar items wat ons kuier versuur het. Ek het dit per WhatsApp aan die eienaar deurgestuur. Die prys wat betaal word per nag regverdig nie die blyplek se standaard nie.

Agulas is central to visit many attractions.

We had a nice stay, except for a few items that soured our visit. I forwarded it to the owner via WhatsApp. The price paid per night does not justify the accommodation's standard.

Whale Watchers 's response

Baie dankie vir jou resensie, Marileze. Ons het onmiddelik aandag gegee aan die foute. Gaste soos jy hou ons op ons tone. Aangaande die tarief wil ek net noem dat die tarief per eenheid is wat vier persone kan slaap. Dit is dus R350 per persoon, wat billik is vir al die geriewe wat jy kry: skottelgoed was, madjie, wasmasjien, tuimeldroër en geen kragonderbrekings vir u gerief. Hoop u sal alles in ag neem en vir ons 'n beter resensie gee.

Heerlik gekuier en uitgerus.

Heerlik gebly, gaste moet lees en weet dat hulle moet ry waar hul wil wees. Fantastiese uitsig, die weer speel nie in die wintermaande altyd saam nie, maar met 'n kaggel, binnebraai en pooltafel kan 'n mens nie kla nie. Dit was ook 'n groot voorreg dat daar solar is, so geen load shedding en ons kon rugby en tennis kyk. Dankie vir jul gasvryheid.

Great stay, guests should read and know that they have to drive where they want to be. Fantastic view, the weather doesn't always cooperate in the winter months, but with a fireplace, indoor braai and pool table you can't complain. It was also a great privilege that there is solar, so no load shedding and we could watch rugby and tennis. Thank you for your hospitality.

Affordable stay, centrally located.

Pros: The Blue Whale flat is very affordable, light and airy, and very well equipped with appliances. (Especially the washing machine and tumble dryer were much appreciated!) The street is quiet and safe, and the view from the balcony is absolutely spectacular. Cons: the Blue Whale flat is at the top of a very steep flight of stairs, so I would not go there with small children or anybody who is not 100% able-bodied. Also, the way that the individual flats on the property (4 in total) are arranged places you in very close proximity to the hosts and the other occupants. (This was a con for me, but if this type of thing does not bother you, go ahead.) The Wi-Fi signal was too weak to use and the DSTV seems to have been disconnected.

Daar is net 3 eenhede Orca Blue Whale en Minke Whale. Minke word nie verhuur as daar gaste in Blue Whale is nie om seker te maak dat klank nie die ander gaste hinder nie.
Op die beskrywing van die eenheid word genoem dat die eenheid op die boonste vlak is.
Daar is nie DStv beskikbaar nie net ekstra view. Die sterkte van die Wi-Fi op die spesifieke tyd in ongelukkig nie in ons hande nie.

Rustig.

Ons was 'n paar vriende wat weg was vir die naweek. Die doel vir ons wegbreek was vir rustigheid en om net bietjie van die huis weg te wees. Whale Watchers was die ideale plek, met die see wat jy in die nabye agtergrond kan hoor. Al voorstel wat ek wel sal maak, is dalk om wifi aan te hef.

Restful.

We were a couple of friends away for the weekend. The purpose for our getaway was for tranquility and to be away from home just a bit. Whale Watchers was the ideal location, with the ocean you can hear in the near background. The only suggestion I would make is maybe to turn on wifi.

Ons is baie vriendelik deur die eienares ontvang. Die kamer was baie netjies en skoon.

Die eienares het baie moeite gedoen om ons van al die besienswaardighede en restaurante in te lig. Die Orca woonstel was ook beskikbaar en sy het ons 'n keuse gegee of ons nog steeds in die bespreekte kleiner woonstelletjie wil bly en of ons eerder in die Orca woonstel wil bly, wat groter was en 'n baie mooi uitsig op die see het. Ons het die verskil in prys betaal en in die Orca woonstel gebly. Die uitsig was asemrowend mooi en ons kan Whalewatchers enige tyd aanbeveel.

We were received very kindly by the owner. The room was very neat and clean.

The owner went to great lengths to inform us of all the attractions and restaurants. The Orca apartment was also available and she gave us a choice whether we still wanted to stay in the booked smaller apartment or whether we wanted to stay in the Orca apartment, which was bigger and had a very nice view of the sea. We paid the difference in price and stayed in the Orca apartment. The view was breathtakingly beautiful and we can recommend Whalewatchers anytime.

Reis op baie kort kennisgewing.

Moes op baie kort kennisgewing verblyf in Struisbaai kry. Gelukkig was Whale Watchers nog beskikbaar. Het baie lekker gebly. Geen probleme ondervind nie. Was vriendelik ontvang en die geriewe gewys. Ons het maar meestal uitgeëet en nie kombuisgeriewe gebruik nie. Net gasstoof om koffie te maak en dit het alles gewerk. Baie lekker gebly.

Had to find accommodation in Struisbaai at very short notice. Fortunately, Whale Watchers was still available. Had a great stay. No problems encountered. Was kindly received and shown the facilities. We mostly ate out and didn't use kitchen facilities. Just gas stove to make coffee and it all worked. Very nice stay.

Plek was alles netjies en skoon.

Met aankoms het gasvrou nadat sy oopgesluit en plek gewys het genoem dat ek nog 'n bedrag uitstaande het. Het aan haar genoem dit is al 4 dae voor ons koms vereffen. Dink dit is iets wat sy eers moet uitklaar voor sy gaste vir dit vra. Daar is geen braaigeriewe soos aangedui nie. Ons het nie 'n probleem gehad met die feit dat die mobiele braai aan die onderkant van die trap is nie. Maar daar was glad nie een nie. Gasvrou wou ons 'n Weber aanbied. Die "dry walls" is 'n totale no-go. Ons kon als hoor wat in die aangrensende eenheid se badkamer aangaan. Yskas was nie skoongemaak nie. Ou ys nog in die vriesgedeelte. Ons moes op die einde vir die hele naweek dorp toe in- en uitry om iets te ete te kry. Moes ons vleis en braaigoed net so terugneem huistoe. Naweek het baie duurder uitgekom as wat beplan was.

Place was all neat and clean.

On arrival hostess after unlocking and showing place mentioned that I still have an outstanding amount. Mentioned to her it was already settled 4 days before our arrival. Think it's something she needs to clear up before asking her guests for it. There are no braai facilities as indicated. We didn't have a problem with the mobile braai being at the bottom of the stairs. But there was none at all. Hostess wanted to offer us a Weber. The "dry walls" are a total no-go. We could hear everything going on in the adjoining unit's bathroom. Refrigerator was not cleaned. Old ice still in the freezer section. In the end we had to drive in and out of town for the whole weekend to get something to eat. Had to take our meat and barbecue back home. Weekend turned out to be much more expensive than planned.

Rustig, met alles wat nodig is vir 'n aangename verblyf.

Kan rêrig Whale Watchers aanbeveel, dit was rustig en die eienaars baie vriendelik. Daar het niks kortgekom nie. Lieflike uitsig en naby alles. Enigste negatiewe kommentaar is dat die waterdruk nie baie goed is nie, maar dit kan maklik aangespreek word. Sal beslis weer kom en ook aanbeveel!

Maklik om te kry, lekker see-uitsig vanaf die stoep en 'n binne-braai/kaggel. Lekker!

Naby die mees suidelike punt van Afrika, die vuurtoring en museum is 'n moet sien, en gemaklik om by Arniston uit te kom om die Waenhuiskrans-grot te sien. Natuurlik is die strande nogal lekker.

The place was clean and very modern. They have everything you need and more. The only thing we needed was our food. The location is perfect for doing sightseeing, they also provided us with brochures and maps of the surrounding area. We felt very welcome.

Een groot gemors!

Ons het by Whale watchers bespreek en Minke Wales gekry! 'n Piepklein-eenheid. Die plek word in 3 verdeel. Tussen jou en jou bure is dry walls! Die trappe is bitter gevaarlik as jy met bagasie daar moet opstap. Houttrappe nog onder konstruksie. Enigste ingang na jou eenheid! Briefie onder klip sê wel, op eie risiko. Braai is wel daar maar geen ander geriewe soos 'n tafel of stoele nie. Geen TV wat werk nie! Geen Wi-Fi. Stort benoud klein! Kombuistoerusting van swak gehalte. Mikrogolfoond bo jou kop en lyk of iets ontplof het binne-in! Gordyn voor kombuisvenster so klein dat jy die heelnag vir die straatlig en verkeersligte lê en kyk. Bitter onaangename ondervinding. Minke Wales sien ons nooit weer nie! Elektriese bedrading was sub-standaard, want 'n tros drade hang langs die yskas af. Elektriese muurprop in die badkamer!

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

One big mess!

We booked with Whale watchers and got Minke Wales! A tiny unit. The place is divided into 3. Between you and your neighbors are dry walls! The stairs are extremely dangerous if you have to walk up there with luggage. Wooden stairs still under construction. Only entrance to your unit! Letter under stone says yes, at your own risk. There is a barbecue but no other facilities such as a table or chairs. No working TV! No Wi-Fi. Shower distressed little! Poor quality kitchen equipment. Microwave above your head and looks like something exploded inside! Curtain in front of kitchen window so small that you lie all night looking at the street light and traffic lights. Bitterly unpleasant experience. Little Wales we never see again! Electrical wiring was sub-standard as a bunch of wires hung down next to the fridge. Electric wall plug in the bathroom!

Whale Watchers 's response

Beste William,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer.

Whale Watchers bestaan uit 3 eenhede. Twee is ten volle toegeruste eenhede met 2 slaapkamers en 2 badkamers. Daar is ook 'n binne- en buite braai asook 'n pragtige see-uitsig vanaf 'n dek. Hierdie eenhede is egter heelwat duurder as die eenheid wat u gekies is.

Minke Whale is 'n basiese studio eenheid wat baie goedkoper is as die ander. Vir toekomstige gebruik, sal ek voorstel om eerder een van die groter (en duurder) eenhede te bespreek.

Groete
Alyda

Fantastiese seevakansie.

Fantastiese seevakansie terwyl ons daagliks vermaak is deur die walvisse wat fonteine water blaas en hulle sterte klap dat die skuim spat. Die dolfyne het ook nie op hulle laat wag nie en het heerlik baljaar in die water. Die see-meeue het op die balkon kom sit en ons en die wêreld bekyk. Die helderskoon seewater met duidelike groen en blou seestrome en die skitterwit branders wat ons gesien het vanuit die woonstel, het ons so beïndruk dat ons besluit het om ‘n erf vir aftree in Agulhas te koop. Die woonstel in Whale Watchers het aan ons die geleentheid gebied om 24/7 vanuit die sitkamer of selfs terwyl ons in die bed gelê het na die see te kan kyk. Ons kan Whale Watchers met groot vrymoedigheid aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat ‘n onvergeetlike tyd teen die see, aan die suidpunt van die kontinent wil ervaar.

Fantastic seaside holiday.

Fantastic sea holiday as we were entertained daily by the whales blowing fountains of water and slapping their tails to make the foam splash. The dolphins didn't keep them waiting either and had a great time frolicking in the water. The seagulls came to sit on the balcony and watch us and the world. The clear sea water with clear green and blue ocean currents and the sparkling white waves that we saw from the apartment, impressed us so much that we decided to buy a plot for retirement in Agulhas. The apartment in Whale Watchers gave us the opportunity to look at the sea 24/7 from the living room or even while lying in bed. We can confidently recommend Whale Watchers to anyone who wants to experience an unforgettable time by the sea, at the southern tip of the continent.

Beautiful apartment with lovely sea views. Just a pity that the weather was not good but that's nature!

We enjoyed this apartment with its gorgeous sea views. Our hosts were very helpful. A small suggestion: with coastal places, they can get a damp odour. Maybe it would be advisable to open the apartment up for a few hours to try and alleviate this problem.

Die uitsig was wonderlik en die verblyf baie lekker.

Alles was 100% en ons het lekker ontspan.

Mooiste uitsig.

Lekker rustig naweek gehad in Struisbaai. Woonstel het baie mooi uitsig gehad en lekker groot! Die beddens kort bietjie aandag (deurgelê), maar alles was mooi skoon en goed toegerus.

Most beautiful view.

Nice quiet weekend in Struisbaai. Apartment had very nice views and a good size! The beds needed some attention (slept through), but everything was clean and well equipped.

Dit was oukei.

Die uitsig was amazing alhoewel ek dink ek kon vir dieselfde geld 'n baie beter plek gekry het. Die algehele gevoel van die plek was oud en verwaarloos. Ek kan verstaan dat dit langs die see is, maar met ouers en skoonouers wat vir 30+ jare in Struisbaai gebly het, kan ek nie nie regverdig dat alles in die badkamers geroes is nie. My gevoel is dat die eienaars net uitverhuur en niks geld terug ploeg om die plek in stand te hou nie. Die braairoosters was smerig, daar is nie 'n ander woord om dit te beskryf nie. Die vorige mense se stukke braaivleis het nog vasgesit. Ek weet party mense brand dit af, maar vir my was dit onaanvaarbaar. Ons het ons eie braairooster gaan koop ten duurste. Die televisie het glad nie die OpenView decoder opgetel nie. Gelukkig het ons 'n HDMI-kabel saamgevat om flieks te stream van ons laptop af. Daarmee kon ons ten minste nuus sien. Na dag twee het ons egter per ongeluk op die notice afgekom dat ons nie hout in die kaggel/braai mag gebruik nie, net charcoal. Dit was een van my deciding factors toe ek die kaggel gesien het. Dis amper winter in Struisbaai en die kaggel sal cosy wees. Met charcoal, ek dink nie so nie. So ek stel voor dat dit duidelik op die website aangedui word. Ek sal definitief nie Whale Watchers aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat ek ken nie.

It was okay.

The view was amazing although I think I could have found a much better place for the same price. The overall feel of the place was old and neglected. I can understand that it is by the sea, but with parents and parents-in-law who have lived in Struisbaai for 30+ years, I can't justify that everything in the bathrooms was rusted. I feel that the owners only rent out and aren;t putting any money back into the accomodation to maintain the place. The braai grills were filthy, there is no other word to describe it. The previous people's pieces of meat were still stuck in the grid. I know some people burn it off, but for me it was unacceptable. We went to buy oa very expensive braai grid. The television did not pick up the OpenView decoder at all. Fortunately, we took an HDMI cable with us to stream movies from our laptop. With that we could at least watch the news. After day two, however, we accidentally found the notice that we should not use wood in the fireplace/braai, just charcoal. It was one of my deciding factors when I saw the fireplace. It's almost winter in Struisbaai and the fireplace will be cosy. With charcoal, I don't think so. So I suggest that it be clearly indicated on the website. I will definitely not recommend Whale Watchers to anyone I know.

Baie lekker en ontspannend.

Whale Watchers sal ek beslis aanbeveel vir iemand wat ‘n wegkomkansie soek. Lekker privaat!

Absolutely awesome view, and spotlessly clean living areas.

This is a place that I would go back to again and again, summer, autumn, winter or spring. One of the best places I have ever stayed in.

Die verblyf is van die aard laat jy nie huistoe wil kom nie.

Dit was ons eerste vakansie in die Struisbaai en ons sal definitief weer en weer soontoe gaan. Nie net die verblyf nie, maar alles is lekker saam met vriendelike mense.

The accommodation is the type that you don't want to leave.

It was our first vacation on Struisbaai and we'll definitely go there again and again. Not just the accommodation, but everything is great with friendly people.
