Spent a week at A Whale of A Time with my girlfriend in October and extended my stay with another week. Our room was amazing and the ocean view is stunning! An incredible and romantic home base for any types of adventure including freediving and surfing. Riding along the coast line towards Cape Good Hope and all the way through for the most amazing sunrise with friends at Scarborough beach maybe including a cold dip in the arctic streams. Within 40 mins you reach nice spots like VA Waterfront, Kirstenbosch and various wine farms and restaurants. A 1,5 hour walk leads you to the pinguïns in Simon’s Town or the surf beach of Muizenberg. Check in was easy and great contact with the owner who supported in some challenges he didn’t have to. We’ll definitely come back hoping to see whales from the balcony!!

I had a wonderful experience staying at this place. The room was spacious and opened up to a large balcony overlooking the ocean. The views of the ocean were breathtaking and added to the overall experience. The check-in and checkout process was very easy and hassle-free. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Ivan and Angie are great hosts and we had the pleasure of staying in the Neptune 3 bedroom Garden unit. It was a great base to venture to all the popular spots on the peninsular. This is a very home-centric based home-from-home and we loved our stay. Ivan and Angie made everything possible and accompanied us on all our activities and guides. Will definitely go back when the opportunity arises.

To start things off, A nice place has been tainted by a booking.com scam which has charged us 3 times extra for the accommodation and while it is not the owners fault, it is the platform that they have chosen to accommodate their guests. So R7000 accommodation has cost us R28000! And we wait patiently for mastercard to sort out the situation. To top it all off there was electricity maintenance scheduled by the municipality and no one from the premises bothered to check the mail box for the notice which was issued 3 days prior to us arriving. So not having any electricity in the apartment is also compounded y the issue that we cannot access the garage and leave in our car for the day as the battery has not been maintained. All this could of Been easily avoided by a little due diligence and basic maintenance on the garage door motor. To put it bluntly so far, our stay has been pretty kak. Maybe a whale will come visit to make it better. Other than that the place is nice and the view is great .hopefully your experience will be better than ours. Most importantly check who you book through as there are some dodgy #%%* out there on the internet. (Update, the owner offered an extra night accommodation for the electricity problems and luckily the bank has reversed the fraudulent payments, booking.com has taken no responsibility for the unauthorized payments.)
