Stayed here for one night only and what a find! (thanks again trip advisor ) the accommodation is approx 20 minute drive east of Mossel Bay but the views are stunning over the ocean. Whales arrived for us to view on a sunny afternoon, but the weather turned overnight and was too blustery for them in the morning. Enormous breakfast... More

“The best sunrise on Garden route!!”

Reviewed 6 May 2012

Thanks to Joy for her hospitality. The breakfast we had at whalephin was the best we had on our Garden route holiday. I am confident that if Louis would have been with you it could have been even better. The location of the B&B is a little away from Mossel bay but I felt vindicated of my choice when I... More

What a lovely comfortable room with superb views of the bay - absolutely beautiful! Louis and Joy were excellent hosts, the English breakfast was very tasty and I adored Louis' home-made muesli. Both gave... More

“Lovely B&B - highly recommended”

Louis and Joy have worked very hard to make this a lovely guest house. They include many small simple amenities to make the stay nicer such as binoculars for bird and whale watching. They have an extensive local knowledge and are willing to make recommendations to all guests. The breakfast was delicious!

Thank you verry much for this kind review, we are committed to good service and to inform our guests of activities in and around Mossel Bay. Extra blankets are available in all the rooms. More

“Wonderful”

Reviewed 2 April 2012

We had a wonderful stay at The Whale-Phin Bed And Beakfast. The view from the porch was fantastic. The owners Louis and Joy made us feel at home and were very helpful. We were there three nights and met several of the guest, all of whom were return visitors. Some of them had been coming back for years.

This was the first booking we received via Booking.com and went through our nightsbridge booking system linked with the prices as shown on Nightsbridge. We never had any problem with the five years with Nightsbridge. A problem must have occurred between the Booking.com and Nightsbridge, which was reported to Nightsbridge. This problem is now solved.
