    beautiful views
    spacious twin room
    pleasant buffet
    disappointing coffee

    i had a relaxing stay at the whalesong, where the beautiful views and spacious twin room were just perfect for unwinding. the buffet breakfast was a pleasant surprise, offering a great selection. my previous visits were nice, but this stay truly exceeded my expectations!

    the coffee quality was disappointing.

    spacious twin room
    fabulous shower
    good breakfast
    slow service
    untidy pool area

    The stay was conveniently close to a few attractions, with Redford Lane Wines just around the corner and Knysna Elephant Park not far away. I really enjoyed the spacious twin room, especially the fabulous shower and the comfortable bed—it made for relaxing evenings. The breakfast was quite good, offering enough variety to satisfy my mornings. the dining experience felt a bit slow, especially when meals took longer than expected to arrive.

    Needs improvement
    5.0

    There's a noticeable need for updates, especially around the pool area where deck chairs are in bad shape. The shower in our room had issues that weren't resolved, despite multiple reports. Noise from the N2 highway is quite evident, with heavy traffic starting early. The location feels a bit remote. going into town feels like a chore and the paths around the hotel can be tricky to navigate. Wi-Fi is erratic in the rooms and no sea view from most, which is disappointing.

    friendly staff
    spacious twin room
    scheduled power outage

    Had a fantastic time with friends! The location was perfect for variety, and we enjoyed nearby activities and great meals. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast really impressed us. We also loved the spacious twin room, making it ideal for our group vacation. Setting aside some time to relax was just what we needed.

    One downside was the scheduled power outage. We weren’t informed in advance, which was a bit inconvenient.

    spacious twin room
    inconsistent wi-fi

    A cozy stay by the sea

    The spacious twin room offered a powerful shower and incredible views. Breakfast was fresh and had a nice variety. The location is perfect to explore Plettenberg Bay.

    The Wi-Fi connection was frustratingly inconsistent, and the dining area had persistent issues with cleanliness.

    stunning pool
    relaxing garden
    steep paths

    We really enjoyed chilling by the beautiful pool and soaking in the relaxing garden area during our stay. The only downside was the rather steep paths leading from our room to the main areas, which could be tricky for those with mobility issues. it's a great spot for a relaxing getaway! 🌴

    great amenities
    spotty wi-fi

    The location is fantastic, surrounded by natural beauty and near key attractions along the Garden Route. Our spacious twin room was incredibly comfortable with great amenities. The spa facilities were a highlight, offering rejuvenating treatments after our hiking adventures.

    The Wi-Fi connectivity in our room was spotty, which was a bit frustrating.

    comfortable room
    fabulous shower
    no sea view
    no balcony

    The villa room was really comfortable with modern updates. The bathroom was huge, boasting a fantastic shower and separate bath. Plus, the blackout curtains were a game changer for a solid night's sleep. Just wish there was a sea view or balcony to enjoy the views. a cozy stay!

    amazing staff
    limited breakfast variety

    Amazing staff and beautiful views

    We had a lovely experience during our two-night stay, with particularly impressive service from the staff, who went out of their way to prepare a special breakfast pack for us! The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and featured a nice balcony with stunning views. the breakfast menu could use a bit more variety to enhance the overall experience.
