Durch die Herzlichkeit von Antje (Gastgeberin) und dem gesamten Team fühlt man sich sofort Willkommen. Unbedingt auf die Essensempfehlungen eingehen - wurden an 3 Abenden immer wunderbar verköstigt. Die direkte Lage am Meer machte unseren Aufenthalt zu etwas Besonderem. Die Heizdecken in den Betten wirkten wohltuend.

Lovely Boutique Hotel with a lot of attention to detail that immediatley made us feel home. Great location overlooking the bay with Whales playing in front of the breakfast table. The staff was super friendly and the breakfast made with love!
المنزل مقابل للبحر و يحتوي على 4 غرف فقط فتشعر كأنك في منزلك
لم تكن الغرف مقابلة للمحيط ( حسب الصور ) كما أن دورة المياه مفتوحة على غرفة النوم
The property was beautifully designed with tasteful furnishings and decorative pieces/artwork. The bed was excellent, breakfast prepared by Onke was plentiful and delicious. Property was one street back from the beach and short drive into town. Stanley was helpful and a font of information re the area.
All perfect.
Sehr außergewöhnlich, perfekter Service
Nette, sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, schöne Zimmer, schöner Wohnraum und Küche zur Mitbenutzung, super Frühstück
Zimmer Ende April ohne Heizung und ohne Klimaanlage mit Heizer eher etwas ungemütlich

Wir hatten die Suite und das bedeutete, Meerblick soweit das Auge reicht (beim Duschen, beim Zähneputzen…). Wir wurden von Antje und ihrem Team sehr nett empfangen und haben uns von der ersten Sekunde sehr wohlgefühlt. Es ist ein ganz besonderer Ort, liebevoll eingerichtet und es werden alle Wünsche erfüllt.
Uns hat nicht gefallen, dass wir nur drei Nächte da waren.
Traumhafte Lage mit Blick auf die Meeresbucht, super Frühstück, sehr freundliches Personal. Danke Antje
Schöne Lage direkt am Meer, sehr freundliches Personal, sehr gute Essensempfehlung

zwembad is aan de klein kan maar zo staat het op op booking dus dat weet je vooraf
We had a wonderful stay in the Milkwood House at Whalesong Lodge. Antje and her team were absolutely amazing, warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The house was perfect for our family. It is beautifully equipped with everything you could possibly need, making it feel like a true home away from home. The space is comfortable, well designed, and ideal for relaxing together as a family. The highlight was definitely the stunning sea view. Waking up to such beautiful scenery made our stay extra special. We would highly recommend Milkwood House and would gladly stay here again.
Schoon, mooi ingericht en alle faciliteiten aanwezig
Antje und ihr Team haben uns einen so tollen, gemütlichen Aufenthalt ermöglicht, man hat sich so zuhause gefühlt. Der Ausblick aus der Suite war ein Traum! Frühstück auch sehr lecker, auch Hilfe bei Ausflügen und Restaurants war immer vorhanden. Jederzeit wieder!
Einziges klitzekleines Manko war die fehlende Aircondition, wodurch es schon sehr warm im Zimmer geworden ist und der Ventilator war etwas laut. Also Vorhänge zulassen, wenn man tagsüber nicht da ist!
Perfect seafront location with a nice balcony. Friendly and helpful staff and owner.
5 stars service, spotless clean, design of the house, big room
Not necessarily a problem but to note that the bathroom / toilet has no door.
Everything was perfect and Antje is the nicest Hotelmanager, she made us feel at home!
Beautiful setting with incredible friendly hosts - room was also picture perfect! Breakfast also fantastic (with huge portions!)

Die Lage war sehr schön und ruhig und man konnte von der Terrasse Wale und Delfine beobachten. Antje und ihr Team waren super herzlich und man hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt.
Das Zimmer hat ein offenes Bad was in den Raum integriert ist. Man gewöhnt sich schnell daran, ist aber nicht jedermanns Sache.
Amazing vieuw and nice room , staff is nice and friendly , breakfast was nice
I payed much to much more than the booking price as my kids stayed with me in my room … I payed 11500 rand for 2 nights … much tooo expensive for that location
Super location with breath taking views. One can do cliff walks straight from the property. Antje and Gary are super hosts with a very friendly staff. One of the highlights of our trip!
For me it's not 10.. it's 11. All perfect. Breathtaking view from the house. Directly to the ocean. The staff was perfect. The breakfast is really really good. It's perfectly clean and maintained. Private parking in front of the house.
What a fantastic location. Everything was spotless and we had a great breakfast. They couldn’t do enough for us. The view from our bed was superb, pity it wasn’t whale season.
Lovely room

Beautifully located directly at the oceanfront. Spacious and luxurious rooms and very friendly staff & hosts. Honesty bar with great selection makes you want to spend the whole day on the terrace and enjoy the view.
A lovely quiet place with an excellent host.
Like a lot of reviews here - I simply cannot understand why there is no toilet with a DOOR! Who wants their bodily functions overheard by their partner???????????
Lovely host, amazing views from the balcony (saw the whales playing in the water from our balcony), beautiful sunset, very good breakfast! A good restaurant nearby! Wonderful experience

The best place to view whales during migration season! Stunning guest house with fantastic hosts

Unbelievable location. Views from the cliffs are something else. Unfortunately, our whale trip was canceled due to weather, but we had a lot of other chances to see whales from our room, during the breakfast and from the cliffs. Every time we looked at the ocean we saw whales. Very hospitable and friendly people, awesome room and facilities. We really enjoyed reading the books from the shelves. There is Walker Bay Nature Reserve nearby, and you could spend a day hiking there.
The view from the room was breath taking. You could even see whales in the sea. The interior design was so pleasant and local. The breakfast had so many choices. I stayed in the bedroom at the front. Although somewhat more expensive the view can be enjoyed from balcony, the bed and even from the bath. In front of the house is a walking path in both directions through the dunes. Restaurants are a view km by car.
Nothing. Absolutely perfect
Wir hatten eine fantastischen Aufenthalt. Antje und ihr Team waren wunderbare Gastgeber
fabulous location really lovely hosts great breakfast
loved everything but would have preferred a mini fridge in room
Breathtaking views of the sea, calm location with a few options of restaurants nearby (need a car). Book the suite if you can, you never want to leave the place! Awewome staff, great breafkast, amazing sunsets. Great walks right by the hotel.
Upmarket home away from home. Excellent hostess and beautiful peaceful relaxed environment.

Beautiful scenery
Wc in the sleeping room without any door in between
Great accommodation with an unbeatable view. Whalewatching from the room, balcony or living room all day long. Lovely host and great rooms with everything you need.
This lodge is a beautiful place with lovely people and Perfect vieles
Gorgeous art, beautiful decor, amazing breakfast, breathtaking views extremely hospitable, helpful and friendly owner. A very special place. I can not say enough good about this place! 10 out of 10
Der Aufenthalt war ganz wunderbar. Fantastische Lage und direkter Blick aufs Meer. Sehr aufmerksames und nettes Personal. Absolut zu empfehlen.
Tolle Aussicht auf die Wale von der Veranda.
We stayed here for two nights and had a suite. If you stay here you must get a suite. The view of the sea is amazing with the large windows across the front of the room. If you don't have a suite you can still get the same view from the communal balcony downstairs. The staff are very sweet. Breakfast is good. It is continental but they also cook egg and bacon to order for you. It is located on a really quiet but safe area along with a few other holiday residences so it is completely quiet. For eating of an evening they book you a table at the local restaurant which is excellent and very cheap. We also ate in Hermanus which about 30 minutes away. The room was spotlessly clean and we loved the truffles they left every night. There is also an honesty bar.
Tolle Lodge, sehr modern eingerichtet. Toller Service und leckeres Frühstück. Wir haben uns pudelwohl gefühlt. Zur Kaffeezeit gab es immer kostenlosen Kaffee und Tee sowie selbstgebackenen Kuchen im Aufenthaltsraum. Sehr gemütlich. Gerne immer wieder!
Wunderschönes Hotel direkt an den Klippen mit tollem Blick auf den Atlantik. Wir hatten die Suite mit großer Fensterfront direkt auf das Meer. Einmalig schön. Das Guesthouse und der ganze Ort strahlt eine ansteckende Ruhe wieder, die Essensempfehlungen im Ort waren sehr gut. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder, dann zur Zeit der Walbeobachtung.
Wir hatten das Zimmer Nr1 im ersten Stock mit Wahnsinns Aussicht auf das Meer. sei es vom Bett oder von der Badewanne - die Aussicht ist spektakulär! Auch das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet. Frisches Brot und Marmelade; Wurst und Käse; Spiegeleier und vieles Meer. Wir haben eine tolle Zeit im Whalesong verbracht. Wohl eines des schönsten Zimmer in diesem Ort.
Außergewöhnlich mit Fantasie gestaltetes Haus, liebevoll professionell geführt. Erstklassige Lage!
Ein tolles Hotel, wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Hotel liegt am Strand und verfügt über einen grandiosen Blick in die Bucht. Am Morgen konnten wir Unmengen von Delphinen beobachten. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.
What a lovely property. We highly recommend Whalesong Lodge. Great location, friendly hosts and delicious breakfast. A wonderful quiet spot next to the sea.
Lovely hosts very friendly and amazing views. Saw more whales from the hotel balcony than from the whale watching boat. Downside no door on loo or bathroom, so unless you don't mind hearing your partner on the toilet this room is not for you.
Zeer huiselijk.
Io e il mio compagno abbiamo trascorso due notti in questo meraviglioso lodge. Abbiamo scelto la suite vista mare e mai abbiamo fatto scelta migliore. La suite è situata al primo piano e la parte che da sul mare è completamente a vetri. È stata un'emozione indescrivibile stare sdraiata sul letto o immersa nella vasca idromassaggio e guardare le balene nuotare e saltare fuori dall'acqua proprio di fronte a noi! La suite ha anche un piccolo terrazzino dove si può stare seduti ad ammirare lo spettacolo. Indimenticabile il tramonto infuocato di rosso. La sera, nel silenzio, è possibile sentire il canto delle balene e ammirare le stelle. Il lodge è molto accogliente ed è possibile, previa comunicazione alla proprietaria, cenare e degustare un buon vino. Madre e figlia gestiscono il lodge, aiutate da alcune ragazze molto gentili. Vi consiglio questo posto se cercate tranquillità e volete sognare. Mi raccomando, non dimenticate il binocolo se volete ammirare pienamente lo spettacolo nella baia.
Kleine, sehr schön gelegene Lodge direkt am Meer. Walfischbeobachtung in den Monaten August bis Dezember direkt von der Terrasse aus möglich. Nur 2 Fahrstunden von Kapstadt entfernt. Zimmer und Lounge/Aufenthaltsbereich sehr stillvoll und mit Liebe eingerichtet.
Tolle Location für die Walbeobachtung vom Zimmer oder Balkon aus! Sehr gutes Frühstück und nette Inhaber!
Helt fantastiskt
Det er mere et B&B end et hotel. Ingen restaurent men der henvises til en blot 100 m fra hotellet. Der er 5 værelser. Fin udsigt.
Great location, very friendly staff, amazing breakfasts and luxurious room. Not the cheapest place to stay but certainly worth the money, particularly liked being able to wake up and see the whales from my bed! The location is fabulous although dinner options were limited, but I would definitely stay there again.
