Guest Reviews

Volker (2/5): Nicht zu empfehlen ! - Nichts ! Die Unterkunft ist nicht sauber und das Inventar runtergekommen. Das Zimmer war klamm und feucht. Das Badezimmer war schimmelig. Die Fotos in der Beschreibung der Unterkunft passen überhaupt nicht.

Silvan (8/5): -
Hans (7/5): Witsand is definitly worth a visit, stunning sunset - Good accommodation for some nights related to the price and very close to the beach The bed is small (140 cm)
Maria (7/5): Good for a short stay which is all we needed. -
Joost (9/5): Agréable logement Witsand. - Annerie, la propriétaire, a été très proactive et nous a bien accueilli. La chambre est bien avec un grand lit, des petits fauteuils, avec une petite terrasse. La salle de bains a une douche et baignoire. Frigo et bouilloire, café et thé complètent le tout. L'endroit est bien situé à même pas 100 mètres de la plage. Le restaurant Anchorage, recommandé par Annerie, est à 200 mètres idéal pour les repas. Ils ont des huîtres sauvages savoureuses. ras
Malin (10/5): - Ett bra boende på en fantastisk plats, trevlig personal allt var toppen
Dimitry (9/5): - Makkelijk gelegen in Witsand Eenvoudige toegang op voorhand afgesproken met de eigenaar. Simpele maar propere kamer. Restaurant op wandelafstand. Rustig dorpje. Hoewel proper zouden de badkamers vernieuwd mogen worden.
Rolf (7/5): -
Liliane (9/5): - Schön hergerichtetes Zimmer. Gastgeberin hat Kühlschrank, TV etc alles wieder in Betrieb genommen und geschaut, dass es funktioniert. Gute Lage um a den Strand zu kommen. Zu Fuß ins nahe (aber auch einzige) Restaurant Das Dorf war nach Ferienende wie ausgestorben.
Shimane (8/5): It was just ok. Nothing really outstanding. - We didn't had a sit in breakfast. We had tea in our room. The shower door was broken.
Elmarie (10/5): - Annerie baie, baie dankie vir 'n heerlike aand. Jou vriendelikheid en gasvryheid het ons so tuis laat voel. Dankie vir die aartappels / mushrooms se gaar maak. Ons sal defentief weer kom kuier!
Christine (6/5): Für den Preis - ok - Der Preis, das komfortable Bett. Es war fast alles da was man brauchte. Nette Vermieterin, die uns sogar ein größeres Apartment zur Verfügung gestellt hatte, als wir gebucht haben. Für mich fehlte es an Geschmack und Gemütlichkeit. Die Möbel wirkten irgendwie zusammengestückelt. Im Bad gab es eine Glühbirne aber an der falschen Stelle und nicht in Spiegelnähe. Es gab zwar einen “Austritt“ auf eine kleine Plattform, mit Blick für den Parkplatz, die war aber so ungemütlich, dass wir sie nicht genutzt hätten, auch wenn Stühle da gewesen wären.
Nico (10/5): Very happy will definitely stay again - Very friendly Clean
Madele (9/5): Nice, clean, beautiful view. - We had a good time in Witsand. Everything was excellent, thank you.
Paul (9/5): Wir haben uns in dem relativ geräumigen, gut ausgestatteten Zimmer mit gesondertem Bad nach freundlichem Empfang durch d - Nähe zum Strand, angenehme Größe für 2 Personen
simon (8/5): Very pleasant quite and comfortable stay at a very reasonable price. Recommended. - Nice quiet accommodation very close to the main beach and very decent restaurant, and we slept to the sound of the sea. Small private balcony, with the main beach and tidal pool a few minutes walk away. The bed was very comfortable and our room even had a full bath and a shower The room was quite small and the self catering facilities were pretty limited
Willem (8/5): -
Antje (8/5): Kleiner freundlicher einfacher Ort. - Die Lage des Apartments war sehr gut. Strand schnell zu Fuß zu erreichen. Wenn man bereit ist auf Komfort zu verzichten und Improvisationstalent hat ,ist man gut aufgehoben. Aufenthalt war etwas besonderes. Küchenzeile zu klein, keine Abwasch Möglichkeit. Kk
N (1/5): i booked out - The location was great,place very neat but no Hospatality or privacy in that place and too live with dogs as human being disgusting..Also doesnt think kids are very welcome there,timimg was also very out good luck folks if you make this place ur choice. To be on time,take camera out not everyone is tsotsi's,taboo with dogs, get some love for kids aswell get time management and time advertise the same aswell
Rob (10/5): Spot on for what we wanted. Thank you. -

Pollock (10/5): - Absolutely everything ❤️
Corner (8/5): It was great - Breakfast not included. The location is great. Other guests came in very late and made noise as they walked past our room. Not the owners fault though.
Andrew (9/5): A great choice when in Witsand - Whale Watchers Inn is a wonderful place to stay. Annerie was a great host and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. The little touches like a small packet of rusks with the coffee and tea in the room were welcome.

slevy111799 (8/5): Perfect Proximity to the Breede River for fishing and the beach for kids. - We stayed at Whale Watchers Inn as we booked very late in December and luckily it was available, the hosts were very welcoming and helpful and friendly. We were comfortable during our stay and it is in close proximity to everything at the Breede River. Nice clean linen and towels restocked daily.
Els (9/5): Old school charm - "We enjoyed our stay at this old school charmer! It's relaxing, clean and comfortable. The best part? We didn't have to worry about the kids breaking anything, which made for a truly stress-free vacation. We can't wait to see what's in stored with exciting new upgrades on the horizon. The beach is just a short stroll away. Annerie is a fantastic host who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Great value for money, too!
