The view of the honeymoon suite is sooooooo good! Antje, the owner is very patient and helpful with all my queries. Breakfast and even snacks are so nicely plated and I felt like I am having high tea at a hotel! I wish I can stay longer the next time and really hope to visit again! Would highly recommend any travellers who would like to have a quiet stay by the sea!

Whalesong Lodge exceeded my expectations in all ways! Antje makes me feel so at home and she has been so patient and helpful in all my enquiries! The breakfast and cold cuts for dinner on demand are so nicely plated that I feel like I am having high tea in hotel! Even afternoon snacks and the chocolate given every evening are so nicely plated too! The honeymoon suite view is sooooooo good! I had such a lovely 4 days stay and I wish I could’ve stayed longer. There are so many activities in Gansbaai and I would stay longer if I had known earlier that it is such a nice and quiet town! I should have spaced out my activities rather than squeezing everything in the 4 days so that I can enjoy whale song lodge longer! Highly recommend to everyone who wants to enjoy the sea with great views away from the busy city life.

Wat een mooi gasthuis, met super mooi uitzicht. De gastvrouw Antje en haar team hebben ons erg goed verzorgd, en de sfeer in huis was erg huiselijk en heel gezellig. Kamers zijn super leuk ingericht, en werden netjes bijgehouden. Meer dan prima ontbijt elke ochtend. Zou er zo weer naartoe gaan!

Fantastic little place with a cozy atmosphere, direct beach view and very friendly hosts. Antje makes you feel like home. The breakfast is superb and she also makes some cold cuts for dinner on demand that are very tasty. It was our first trip to South Africa and e started there. We loved the place and will likely come back.

When I arrived at Whalesong after a long journey I walked in, landed on the balcony, was handed a pair of binoculars and saw my first ever Whale. This lodge is in an exceptional location and had all the finishing touches you could ever wish for; chocolates by your bedside, coffee is presented when you telepathically communicate you want some, the best platform for viewing whales in this area (literally). At Whalesong you also get a true taste of the ethos of South Africa with respect to community. The staff are like a family and the host is always around to help with everything/to generally chat about life. The decor is top notch and the soap/hand lotion is to die for. We stayed in a double room which had its own balcony, I can imagine the suite would be fabulous for a special occasion.

Wir durften zwei Nächte im Bijou von Antje und ihren Mitarbeiterinnen verbringen und es war einfach perfekt! Wir wurden mit einem herzlichen Lachen von Vve begrüsst, und diese herzliche und persönliche Gastfreundschaft zog sich durch den ganzen Aufenthalt. Es wurde daran gedacht, dass wir Abendessen möchten und schon eine Vorreservation in einem ganz tollen Restaurant gemacht. Der Turndown mit einem ausgezeichneten Praliné rundete den Tag ab. Das Frühstück und auch die Platte zum Abendessen, welche man vorbestellen kann, waren ausgezeichnet und mit einer Liebe fürs Detail präsentiert. Dazwischen der aufmerksame, sehr freundliche unaufdringliche, effiziente Service. Am grossen Tisch, an dem alle gemeinsam essen, gab es spannende Begegnungen und interessante Gespräche mit andern Reisenden. Für uns sehr bereichernd. Dann die Aussicht: wir waren sprachlos! 1. Reihe zu den Walen, wunderschöne Terrasse, immer mit einem Kaffee oder Tee. Muss man erlebt haben. Das Zimmer, alle Details, und generell das ganze Haus wurde mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Ausgesuchtes, stimmiges Interieur, die perfekte Wohlfühlatmosphäre. Es gäbe noch vieles mehr zu schreiben, wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen.

Heute ist der 05. September. Der südafrikanische Winter ist gerade vorbei und der Frühling beginnt. Es ist der Beginn der Blüte des Fynbos. Die wunderschöne Küstenlandschaft um das Guesthouse schmückt sich gerade in den schönen Farben der Frühlingsblüte. Draußen ist es knackig kalt, bei gefühlten einstelligen Temperaturen. Drinnen prasselt das Kaminfeuer. Es ist 18:30h und die Sonne senkt sich im atlantischen Ozean. Die Lichter von Hermanus am gegenüberliegenden Ufer der großen Bucht beginnen sich im Wasser zu spiegeln. Der Himmel, die Wolken und die Berge färben sich in cremefarben goldenen rosaroten Tönen. Unser Wandertag auf dem herrlichen Küstentrail endet mit einer erlesenen Käse und Wurstplatte vergoldet mit einem 2013er Hermanuspietersfontein. Im Ozean direkt vor dem Guesthouse erfreuen sich Pot- und Buckelwale über den Frühlingsbeginn und zeigen sich fortwährend an der Wasseroberfläche. Ein weiterer Tag in der Whalesong Lodge neigt sich dem Ende und wir freuen uns, nach einem erholsamen Schlaf im bequemen Bett, auf den neuen Tag, mit einem liebevoll angerichten Frühstück. Die Herzlichkeit und liebe zum Details von Antje und ihrem Team wird die Tage in De Kelders für immer unvergesslich bleiben lassen.
