Whalesong Lodge

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.

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.

Lovely place. I had such a lovely break away weekend. I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Whalesong exceeded my expectations. Comfortable, clean, modern and great views. Wonderful friendly hosts. Amazing breakfast. Thank you.

We stayed in this beautiful lodge just for one night during our whistle-stop family tour of SA. It is located on the edge of the bay with incredible views. The lounge and breakfast area overlook the bay – a fireplace divides the space, making it very cosy. A help-yourself-loyalty-bar was a nice feature which added a home-from-home vibe. The rooms were very comfortable and beautifully decorated with lots of attention to detail. We had the Honeymoon suite which had great uninterrupted views and our kids had a standard room, which was equally beautiful and well thought out. The hosts, Antje and Gary, were very welcoming and friendly and were happy to share lots of local knowledge with us. There was a wonderful selection for breakfast – including homemade jams and granola, which was a lovely touch. We were made to feel very much at home here.

I had the chance and did book the suite - it was worth every penny. Whales were in great numbers in the bay and I could watch them without even leaving the bed. But of course I did leave it. One could watch them from the shower as well as the bath tube as well as from the attached little balcony - actually from everywhere in and outside the house. It's located directly at the sea. The lodge itself is very well equipped and has a beautiful host who was helpful in every aspect - booking restaurants, sea excursions etc. I shall return!

I cannot give this wonderful place more compliments. It is a rarely to find such an amazing combination of that attention to detail, hospitality, cleanliness and a fantastic breakfast. The views are breathtaking and perfectly situated close to many activities. We loved our stay, thank you!
