Whale Sea Cottage

The property was perfect and accommodated all 7 of us comfortably. The sunset view was one of the best. The host checked in regularly with me and shared information about activities prior to arrival and while we were there. They were excellent hosts.

Great. Self catering

None

The property surpassed my expectations. Very clean, the kitchen had everything you need, barbeque was nice and big and well equipped and the swimming pool was heated. The views are amazing. Good security.

Nothing

the location was good. Everything else was a little disappointing because the property is tired and basic, but we did enjoy walking out directly onto the cliff walk. The property managers did a good job getting the wifi fixed on a sunday when we arrived to find the wifi was broken

Nothing was a disaster, but a lot of things were not right or were below a normal spec. for a decent holdiay rental. The broken wifi when we arrived; the underpowered inverter which the housekeeper said would keep the lights on if we put nothing else on- but actually the lights never stayed on for even an hour when the evening loadshedding/power outages were happening: the disgusting braai grids that needed a tedioius deep clean before we could cook our evening meal on arrival day(ironic because we were told in the 'unusual/fussy' instructions to leave the place pristine or we would lose a R1k deposit and there would be careful inspections before we left etc - yet we have never seen such a dirty braai outside of a public rest area so it was like a Fawlty Towers comedy episode...); we found the place to be under-furnished for even two of us and no comfortable chairs to sit in - just some old /smallish sofas which were only good for an hour for me at a push. We were expecting our usual comforts from a south african holiday stay- this place would not need much investment to get it up to standard and the housekeeper said the owners will improve the inverter etc, but hopefully they also update the interior and the furnishings etc. Lots to do
