    The staff was pretty friendly and affable and the place was clean. Our rooms were reasonably large and had more than enough space and coffee. We had a comfortable bedroom and a handy kitchenette. The venue was set in the very central position just next door to the Garden Route, George, Knysna and Sedgefield and restaurants, and the coast. Furthermore, on the square.

    Nothing bad to say.

    The view from the room was breathtaking, with the sea and mountains creating the perfect picturesque atmosphere. The hosts were extremely welcoming and their delicious breakfast was the best part of our stay. the location was ideal for exploring the surrounding area and we loved the use of the pool table in the games room.

    While the room itself was spacious and well-lit, the bathroom was a bit inconvenient with a shower in the bath. , we did encounter some pesky insects during our stay, so make sure to bring some repellent.

    The location of Whales Way Ocean Retreat Bed & Breakfast was perfect, with Wilderness Beach just a short walk away. It was convenient and beautiful.

    During our stay, we had a small mishap with the kettle in our room. Although it was a bit inconvenient, the staff promptly attended to it and provided us with a brand new kettle.
