Excellent. Good value
Nuestra estancia fue maravillosa, al lado de la playa, contemplando ballenas mientras desayunas. Los propietarios fueron muy amables y simpáticos. Volvería!
Nada
Nichts !
Die Unterkunft ist nicht sauber und das Inventar runtergekommen. Das Zimmer war klamm und feucht. Das Badezimmer war schimmelig. Die Fotos in der Beschreibung der Unterkunft passen überhaupt nicht.
Thank you
Everything were good

Great location, friendly hosts.
Good accommodation for some nights related to the price and very close to the beach
The bed is small (140 cm)
Annerie, la propriétaire, a été très proactive et nous a bien accueilli. La chambre est bien avec un grand lit, des petits fauteuils, avec une petite terrasse. La salle de bains a une douche et baignoire. Frigo et bouilloire, café et thé complètent le tout. L'endroit est bien situé à même pas 100 mètres de la plage. Le restaurant Anchorage, recommandé par Annerie, est à 200 mètres idéal pour les repas. Ils ont des huîtres sauvages savoureuses.

Makkelijk gelegen in Witsand Eenvoudige toegang op voorhand afgesproken met de eigenaar. Simpele maar propere kamer. Restaurant op wandelafstand. Rustig dorpje.
Hoewel proper zouden de badkamers vernieuwd mogen worden.
Ett bra boende på en fantastisk plats, trevlig personal allt var toppen
Schön hergerichtetes Zimmer. Gastgeberin hat Kühlschrank, TV etc alles wieder in Betrieb genommen und geschaut, dass es funktioniert. Gute Lage um a den Strand zu kommen. Zu Fuß ins nahe (aber auch einzige) Restaurant
Das Dorf war nach Ferienende wie ausgestorben.
We didn't had a sit in breakfast. We had tea in our room.
The shower door was broken.
Annerie baie, baie dankie vir 'n heerlike aand. Jou vriendelikheid en gasvryheid het ons so tuis laat voel. Dankie vir die aartappels / mushrooms se gaar maak. Ons sal defentief weer kom kuier!
Der Preis, das komfortable Bett. Es war fast alles da was man brauchte. Nette Vermieterin, die uns sogar ein größeres Apartment zur Verfügung gestellt hatte, als wir gebucht haben.
Für mich fehlte es an Geschmack und Gemütlichkeit. Die Möbel wirkten irgendwie zusammengestückelt. Im Bad gab es eine Glühbirne aber an der falschen Stelle und nicht in Spiegelnähe. Es gab zwar einen “Austritt“ auf eine kleine Plattform, mit Blick für den Parkplatz, die war aber so ungemütlich, dass wir sie nicht genutzt hätten, auch wenn Stühle da gewesen wären.
Very friendly
Clean
We had a good time in Witsand. Everything was excellent, thank you.
Nähe zum Strand, angenehme Größe für 2 Personen
Nice quiet accommodation very close to the main beach and very decent restaurant, and we slept to the sound of the sea. Small private balcony, with the main beach and tidal pool a few minutes walk away. The bed was very comfortable and our room even had a full bath and a shower
The room was quite small and the self catering facilities were pretty limited
Die Lage des Apartments war sehr gut. Strand schnell zu Fuß zu erreichen. Wenn man bereit ist auf Komfort zu verzichten und Improvisationstalent hat ,ist man gut aufgehoben. Aufenthalt war etwas besonderes.
Küchenzeile zu klein, keine Abwasch Möglichkeit. Kk
The location was great,place very neat but no Hospatality or privacy in that place and too live with dogs as human being disgusting..Also doesnt think kids are very welcome there,timimg was also very out good luck folks if you make this place ur choice.
To be on time,take camera out not everyone is tsotsi's,taboo with dogs, get some love for kids aswell get time management and time advertise the same aswell
Seaview
Bath did not work,no water Interior old Stove rusty
Good Communication from the host via whats up.
W3bsite states bed and breakfast wich it is not.However there is a restaurant in walking distance.
The location is fantastic, very close to the beach.
Annerie is a good host and goes out of her way to accommodate guests. Good location right next to main beach.
Location is great! Easy access, parking, safe. Close to restaurant and main beach.
Bathroom, maybe up for renovation, but all good, for the price excellent value and clean.
Loved the location and our room. Will definitely look again next year
Maintenance check before arrival.
Very good location easy access
Black mold in bathroom
The room had everything I needed and was excellent value for money. The hostess was lovely and very welcoming. Added to this there is an informal restaurant and pub around the corner serving decent food. Overall a great combination.
Great location for the quiet beach at Witsand. Comfortable room, friendly host. Great local restaurant with amazing views.
We loved this place. Clean, cared for and lovely. 2 minutes walk from the sea near a great restaurant. The owner was hospitable and accommodating will definitely come again
Sehr nette Vermieterin.
Easily found and close to ocean
Misunderstanding on arrival with my personal information staying available for all to see. Not secure with sliding door open to street
The check in was very efficient. The ocean could be heard and seen and the beach was a very short walk - 1 minute. Would definitely stay again
Vor allem die Lage - direkt am tollen Sandstrand mit seinen wunderschönen Dünen sowie die herzliche Begrüßung durch Annerie.
Absolutely everything ❤️
Breakfast not included. The location is great.
Other guests came in very late and made noise as they walked past our room. Not the owners fault though.
Whale Watchers Inn is a wonderful place to stay. Annerie was a great host and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. The little touches like a small packet of rusks with the coffee and tea in the room were welcome.
The staff made us feel so welcome and we were very happy with our stay there, will definitely go back again.
Very clean and everything you need. Nice view and lovely accommodation. nice location. walk distance to beach
Comfortable, well situated little Inn in a lovely little seaside village
We stayed at Whale Watchers Inn as we booked very late in December and luckily it was available, the hosts were very welcoming and helpful and friendly. We were comfortable during our stay and it is in close proximity to everything at the Breede River. Nice clean linen and towels restocked daily.
"We enjoyed our stay at this old school charmer! It's relaxing, clean and comfortable. The best part? We didn't have to worry about the kids breaking anything, which made for a truly stress-free vacation. We can't wait to see what's in stored with exciting new upgrades on the horizon. The beach is just a short stroll away. Annerie is a fantastic host who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Great value for money, too!
perfect sea views
Comfortable
Location
Such an 'easy' stay, close to the beach, restaurant, etc. Easy access to the rooms, and just an overall easy/simple stay.
Beautiful location....short 600m walk to the sea. The Anchorage restuarant 700 meters away. Room was super clean, good size with balcony and chairs. DSTV and sea view
nothing. was great
The staff was friendly
The unit we stayed in was smelling like mould and the stove was all rusted too scared to use it the kids slept in the lounge the beds were old and sheets stained yellow as well as the towels yellow the shower was aluminium with all peeling along the door frame and toilet stained inside not up to scratch.
Great location, and everything we needed was in our room. Room was also very spacious and comfortable.
Our shower’s temperature was a little hard to regulate, but these things happen.
