Whales Way was a perfect location for a one-night stay over as we were heading back to Cape Town. It's always good to have the sounds of the ocean as a backdrop to one's stay!

A quaint place with amazing views. Rooms are good size and clean. Breakfast was good too, and as always in SA, portions are big and cooked to order. My only take about it is, because of the wooden floors and roofs, it can get thumpy and loud when the people above you have children.

I recently stayed at Whale's Way Ocean and was extremely disappointed. For two days, there was no hot water in the tub, which was a major inconvenience. This was in the dead cold of Wilderness! Despite calling for over an hour - no answer or phones off, I received no empathy from the staff. Their response was simply, "Sorry, will see you next time." To make matters worse, the owner or person in charge responded sarcastically to my complaints. The lack of basic amenities and the unprofessional attitude made for a frustrating experience. I expected better service and will not be returning.

The "Penthouse Suite" was our choice to celebrate my birthday. The host went out of his way to ensure the room was ready for this room with the view overlooking the ocean at eye level with paragliding! The delicious breakfast was made to order.

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.
