The location was absolutely perfect and it was so lovely to see the low tides. The breakfasts were divine and the young lady who was our hostess was fabulous. She helped us with reservations for dinner and when it rained the day we wanted to go to Birds of Eden and Monkeyland she encouraged us to go as you can buy raincoats. We went and it was an absolutely delightful day out. We will definately stay with them again.

There was nothing that we disliked.

The first impression Inga gave me was that she is willing to provide you with any information you require, assist you with absolutely anything, simply make your life easier right of the get-go. The room and facilities are amazing! The location is perfect! Our room with a view had my fiancé literally talking about the window/view all trip! Also.... did I mention Inga!? She went above and beyond to make our experience special! From identifying it was my Fiancé's birthday earlier the week and giving us a touching letter and surprise, to her constant assitance with everything while we were in Plett. Her lovely parents were hospitable on arrival and made us feel at home. I have been part of the hospitality industry for close to 15 years and have never had service as amazing as Inga and "A Whale of a View" gave us. The beds are also the most comfortable I have slept on. Literally a no-brainer when in Plett.

I would have loved breakfast to be included, but with it being so central to everything it didn't really matter. I just love my fresh espresso and light breakfast in the mornings without having to shower first and get ready to go out. That's just me and shouldn't detract from selecting them when in Plett.

The stay was really comfortable and pleasant.

As much as we really enjoyed the stay and very happy with the accommodation itself, to be very honest we were disappointed that the breakfast part of the B&B is actually optional at additional cost which i only discovered post payment. This is a first for me as breakfasts are normally part of the deal at a named 'B&B'. To be fair the hostess did offer to fully refund of which we chose to keep the booking as i didnt feel like further admin. If this is not a problem for you then ignore the above and you will have a superb stay! :-)

The Seaview was spectacular, the bed was super comfortable, good quality bedding, amazing shower and bath , really special place to just relax and get some much needed one on one time , couple time. Adorable doggies = wish we could have seen them more. Wifi was good, decor was super special, file of things to do and places to go super helpful as well.

Nothing, it was perfect.

We made an upgrade to the honeymoon suite in the upper floor. It has a very nice view across the garden over bushes and trees till the seashore. The room features a huge bed and bathtub (and also a shower) and is very nicely decorated with things from the 18th and 19th century. It has also its little private balcony. There is a huge kitchen available to all guests with huge dining table. I liked also the big terrace with tables and seats and with a stove for braii. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

The Whale of a View is a lovely, sweet guesthouse with views to the sea. It's set in a peaceful and pretty garden with a small swimming pool. We stayed in the Honeymoon suite, which had picture windows and it's own balcony. Inga, the hostess was very friendly and helpful and suggested many good excursions and local restaurants. There is also a fully equipped kitchen, lounge and dining room (and BBQ) for the use of guests, if required.

Very spacious room with its own balcony and sea view and own fridge and safe. Great common area with antiques, great balcony and sea view, nice swimming pool. Well stocked for self-catering if you wish. Friendly down to earth owners.

Toilet space was cramped.

This is a 10 out of 10 place! Clean, spacious, quiet, up to 5 minutes drive to all the important places in town. The host was very nice and was willing to help with everything we needed. The kitchen is big and fully equipped. The garden was really nice and the balcony upstairs had a great view.

Nothing! Everything was absolutely PERFECT!

We loved our overnight stay at A Whale of a View! Room is spacious and clean, also the communal area. Hosts were really nice and helpful. They have 2 lovely dogs in the house. We got some tips on hiking and Inga also helped us book the seal swimming activity. Would recommend if you visit Plettenberg Bay!
