The ocean view from the balcony is beautiful. The hosts were amazing and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The braai facility is a fun addition with lanterns and chairs and a view over the bay.

Nothing - everything was perfect.

We loved everything about this property. The location was incredible, right next to the sea where we watched whales breaching close to shore through the day. The apartment itself was immaculate fully kitted out with all the items and equipment that you could possible need. Finally - Tim and Lesley were fantastic hosts. Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful apartment and for the wonderful restaurant recommendations.

hosts Lesley and Tim! They above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing time. The views are stunning and the apartment had everything we needed and more… We cannot wait to return. Just make sure you plan to stay longer than we did!

Lesley met us (the owner) with keys. Stunning view of the Walker bay from our upstairs studio. Also a lovely barbecue area for the studio guest, with fairy lights. Bed very comfortable. Clean all over. Lesley and Tim were very helpful and interesting.

We literally have no idea how we’d improve it. The view is mesmerising and walking to Walker’s Beach was something special. Tim and Lesley make sure that everyone has a great experience. Lots to sea in the surrounding area. We could have easily stayed for much longer and the apartment is well equipped, even with local coffee, fresh milk and cookies. Thank you!!!

Everything was excellent, as always! On top of the great apartment and communication with the host, we were lucky and got to watch a couple of whales frolic right in front of the apartment for over an hour, even though it was quite late in the whale season.

It is such a peaceful Place. Really comfortable and nice appartement with great ocean view, everything in what you need. Lesley and Tim are always really helpful.

Not really a complaint, only worth mentioning: the hosts stay in the second floor with the big balcony (you'll get it from the photos). So you can't book that front front row like one. The studio however is just as perfect!

Everything, the location, the lovely host, all the things you read in the comments But on top of that some small things, like complimentary snacks, tips and advise from the host, etc. The studio has an own mini garden + bbq (lovely), as well as a small balcony.

Whale Tale is the perfect location for whale watching and can be recommended without reservation. We were able to watch several whales a day from our room in mid-November. Tim (our landlord) is very helpful and friendly, our room was very nicely furnished and everything was absolutely clean, fair value for money. P directly in front of the house.

Tim was the loveliest of a host imaginable. Always supportive, offering ideas and help. Felt much more like a visit to a friend than an apartment booked.

The view, the comfortable appartment, very nice and welcoming owners.

Incredible views and a most comfortable stay. Lesley and Tim are wonderful hosts and they really thought of everything to make the stay as much of a home from home as possible. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This accommodation is outstanding. We had a lovely time and the owners Tim and Lesley are exceptional hosts. The location is great and we received some excellent advice regarding the area and local restaurants. This stay was part of a trip to South Africa and involved several stays at different locations. Whale Tale was a highlight of our trip. We left some personal belongings behind by mistake and the owners went out of their way to make sure these were returned to us. We would recommend this location and property and want to say a huge thank you to Tim and Lesley for making us feel so at home. Thanks again and we will be returning in the future. Ian &Alison.

Beautiful place. Tim and Lesley greeted us very warmly, gave us useful advice, and were very hospitable hosts. The apartment is beautiful, comfortable, with a wonderful view of the ocean. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail, and we also received pleasant compliments from the owners))). We recommend.

We loved everything with this place! The host was amazing and created such a nice atmosphere.

Lesley and Tim are soooo lovely! Very nice hosts. We´ve had some good chats also about the culture and the life in South Africa. They both were there whenever we needed them. They had some ideas what we could do during our stay which was also very helpful. The apartment itself is just lovely and has a nice balcony with sea view (perfect for having a glas of wine and do some whale watching).
