    Nothing to complain about.

    The seaview from the house was amazing. Very big, beautifull garden and the visit of the baboons.

    The beach area was very rocky however I enjoyed the walks.

    Being welcomed and invited in. This beautiful place had the sweetest little touches in terms of decor. Loved how they kept the whale theme going. I love good lighting and love how it was used to look equally inviting, both during the day and night. The bed, sofa and chairs very comfortable and every appliance was at hand, as well as crockery. The beautiful views all around 😍 ❤️ Good walking trails, felt safe at all times. Easy access to beach area.

    We recently stayed at Seaview Happy Place, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the picturesque surroundings and the warm, inviting ambiance of the property. The home was immaculate and tastefully decorated, combining rustic charm with modern comforts. The fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals, including high-quality appliances, cookware, and utensils. It was a pleasure to cook and dine with such a stunning seaview. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space. The private patio and garden were perfect for relaxing, enjoying morning coffee, and dining al fresco. We also loved the walking trails nearby, which provided breathtaking views and a great opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the area. Our hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive, providing detailed instructions for check-in. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable, making us feel truly at home. The location was ideal—peaceful and secluded, yet just a short drive from charming local markets and coffee shops. Whether we wanted to unwind in tranquility or venture out for some sightseeing, we had the best of both worlds. Overall, our stay at Seaview Happy Place exceeded our expectations in every way. It was the perfect getaway for relaxation and rejuvenation, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene and self-sufficient retreat!

    The travel of sound from upstairs. It is inevitable but unfortunately still bothersome.

    Very stylish apartment and modern decor. Lovely view of the sea from the spot. Well equipped kitchen and spacious lounge with separate bedroom. Short walk to nearby beach. The bluetooth music player was also a nice addition!

    We were ground floor, and the top floor had kids. Owners apologized profusely for the stomping and noise. I took it in my stride, what can you do. The owner said it won't happen again. Sleeping in on a break away should be a must, but that did not happen. I enjoyed my stay nevertheless It's beautiful to view and the people are friendly, you are a tourist after all.

    We walked from the property to the beach. Swimming is a risk, but leisure walking/hiking for views & pics and having sea water under your feet is a must. I found beautiful rocks and shells. Our apartment was very cozy, we didn't even eat out. We brought our favorites with us to prepare, kitchen well equipped. The bed was extra large, thank you.

    Misrepresentation in the photos

    Photos of the property were a bit misleading as the photos showed a veranda/balcony. However, our room was on the ground floor and there was no private balcony

    The Happy Whale is well located, easy to find, close to the beach paths and to the Harold Porter reserve and an easy walk to the shops. The decor is charming and welcoming and we made full use of the comfortable chairs from which we enjoyed a lovely view of the fynbos and the sea.
