Host was in a hurry to check us in as had to be somewhere else. I have a health condition that requires breathing aparatus, unfortunately there was no free sockets nearby to plug my machine in.

Wilderness is soooo beautiful! We were enthralled by its beautiful beaches and took long walks. Stayed three nights at a beautiful place, Whale's Way Ocean Retreat, which overlooks the ocean... and on clear days one can see all the way to Antarctica from one's bedroom. 🤥😅 Wonderful place, hosts and location. Leg3ndary breakfasts. Thank you.

Traumhafte Lage direkt am Meer. Das Frühstück wurde immer frisch zubereitet (Joghurtbecher-Früchtebecher) und sehr schön angerichtet. Man kann auf der Terrasse während des Frühstücks, welches auch einmal länger dauern weil man bei dem schönen Ausblick auch noch die Seele baumeln lassen kann. Unser Zimmer im Erdgeschoß war sehr schön und gut ausgestattet. Nur der Check in ist verbesserungswürdig. Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn möglich werden wir wieder dort Übernachten. LG

The location is simply fantastic! Breakfast is served with great empathy and affection! The view of the ocean from the suite is amazing and with a bit of luck dolphins can be seen. The shower returned cold water in the morning, warm water in the evening was available. The jets of the jacuzzi did not work.

Wir hatten am selben Tag spontan das Zimmer "Beach Room" im Erdgeschoss gebucht. Der Ausblick gleicht nicht dem auf den Bildern. Als wir die Unterkunft betraten, kam uns modriger Geruch entgegen. Man hatte den Eindruck, dass dieses Zimmer länger nicht vergeben wurde. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit darin war sehr hoch und wir fanden an Fenster und Türen Schimmelspuren. In der Nacht wurde es sehr kalt, die Heizung funktionierte nicht. Es war auch nicht wirklich sauber. Wir haben uns im Zimmer nicht wohl gefühlt und waren froh, als wir am nächsten Tag wieder abreisten. Das Frühstück auf der Veranda war insgesamt super, aber aufgrund des Zimmers war es kein gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.

Wir wurden sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Manager Benjamin hat unser ganzes Gepäck in das Obergeschoss getragen. Das sehr reichhaltige Frühstück wird von einem echten deutschsprachigen Spitzenkoch zubereitet. Ein Genuss für die Augen und den Magen. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Sicht aufs Meer inkl dem kräftigen Meeresrauschen. Der Sohn Benjamin hat uns ein exklusives Abendessen mit am selben Tag von ihm selbst gefangenen Fisch und Austern zubereitet. Sensationell!! Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können einen mehrtägigen Aufenthalt bestens empfehlen.

Great property with great views and perfect hosts. My family were treated as family. Breakfast to die for. Definitely recommend this property. We were given recommendations for restaurants and sites to visit. Bookings were even made for us by hosts.

My husband and I spent a night at Whale's Way Ocean Retreat and highly recommend it. Comfortable, clean and an amazing breakfast on the deck overlooking the ocean. The welcome was warm and sincere and we were upgraded to a room overlooking the sea because it was not occupied, although *********** had allocated a different room to us. Left feeling that we had a great, value for money stay.
