"I enjoyed the stay, the breakfast and the views."

"Stayed as a stopover on the garden route. place was clean and comfortable,very quite and in the morning was treated to a great breakfast with all the birds of the area at the feeders in the garden and a sea view made this a place to relax before moving on."

"Very comfortable and the hosts were most hospitable!"

"This guest house is in chalet style with a great view of the ocean and Mossel Bay. It is actually located in Klein Brak Rivier, which is about 15km from the centre of Mossel Bay.

"This guest house is in chalet style with a great view of the ocean and Mossel Bay. It is actually located in Klein Brak Rivier, which is about 15km from the centre of Mossel Bay. The host was very welcoming and made a lot of effort to explain the area. The rooms are small but colourfully decorated, I had the whale room which had bath and shower and a shared balcony with stunning ocean view. There is a small parking in front of the chalet."

"Very friendly , spotlessly clean,"

"A very nice guesthouse with a great balcony and lots of birds in the garden. The view over the ocean was incredible (we even saw whales in January!)

In the morning we had breakfast on the balcony which was quite nice.

The couple was very friendly"

"Best B & B what I ever had "

"Very nice House and the personal. This was the second time, and I hope to be back."

"From the moment you arrive you are greeted with a smile, Joy and Luois were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and always clean. The breakfast was delicious. All in all we had a wonderful stay and will sure come back again."

"We had a room overlooking the bay and fall asleep listening to the waves! A very good and rich breakfast!"

"My stay At Whale-Phine Guest House was absolutely amazing! They thought of every little detail, they made sure you felt like you were on holiday, they even poured your coffee for you.

Thank you for a good stay and pleasant service."

"My boyfriend and I were greeted with a warm welcome by Joy. Our room was perfect with a beautiful view. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The best omelette I've had! We would most definitely stay there again."

"We received a very warm welcome, so felt at home straight away. Accommodation was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. We feed our birds at home so were thrilled to see the bird-feeders which attracted so many birds! What joy!"

"What a wonderful time we had here. We would definitely come back again. The rooms were so neat and clean."

"Very nice cosy & cost effective guest house. Would definitely be back!"

"An extremely enjoyable night's stopover. Comfortable room, friendly atmosphere, excellent breakfast. The view over the bay to Mossel Bay is superb. A last drink sitting outside the room looking across the bay was memorable. "

"Whale-Phin exceeded our expectations. Although it was a Guest House, we had a fridge, hob, microwave, dishes etc, so could have self catered our evening meal if we wanted to.

"My stay At Whale-Phin Guest House was lovely so I would recommend a say there to others."

"The welcome was generous and the host was happy to assist in any way to make us comfortable.
Breakfast was very good. The view was inspiring. We could hear the sound of the sea.

"We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Whale-Phin Guesthouse. We were greeted by a very friendly host. We had a spectacular view from our room with deck chairs to enjoy the view. Breakfast was served outside with a fresh ocean breeze. Perfect way to start a day. They are situated a few km's from Mosselbay centre, so it’s a quiet area with limited restaurants. I would definitely recommend Whale-Phin if you are looking for an affordable stay with all the added extras."

"Great stay,very clean rooms. Gave lots of help in where to go, lion walk,great white shark cage,food, all great tips. Wonderful ocean view. The breakfast was fantastic, wonderful,people, would stay again"

"Thanks to Joy and Louis for a pleasant stay at Whale-Phin. Going to sleep at night with the sound of the waves in your ears and waking up in the morning to the most spectacular sea view was in deed a blessing. Will visit again."

"Fantastic B+B. Joy gave us joy, arranged our activities and Louis took care of our every day fantastic breakfast. Our kids told us it felt like home. You can’t find better than that. If anyone wants to stay in Mossel Bay this is your place.
Thanks for having us.

"We were welcomed very warmly by Joy and Louis Cook at the Whale-Phin Bed and Breakfast upon our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble for them, from recommending eating establishments, maps how to get there etc. The room was very comfortable and clean and everything was thought of down to the chocolates, to the bean bags to warm the bed. The breakfast the next morning was top class. The little flower on the side of the plate which was used to serve the fruit salad on, added a touch of class. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast and Joy and Louis are to be commended on their establishment. Thank you."

"The actual location of Whale-Phin has a lovely view, sweet soothing sound of the ocean waves and clean accommodations.

They are loving, gracious and hospitable. The breakfasts were good and the other guests were quiet, kind and sociable.

I recommend this B&B and say that if you want to meet the most likable "grandparents on the planet", with their big smiles and warm hearts, make sure to stay at Whale-Phin.

Most sincerely,

Lyn Prashant"

"Joy welcomed us as if we had come home from a long trip away from home! She and Louis are incredibly gracious hosts who go above and beyond the normal to provide you with the most comfortable of stays.

First off, the views from the B&B are incredible. The house is perched high above the beach, with views of Mossel Bay. The area is quiet and peaceful. The bedroom was really cozy, and the beds were really comfortable. The sound of the waves crashing in the distance was an instant relaxer.

Breakfast was a delight, with fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal and a home cooked breakfast. Both Joy and Louis are just so lovely, warm and welcoming that we immediately re-booked for our journey back down the garden route.

We highly recommend this little B&B, a true little South African gem, set in the suburbs, away from the hussle and bussle of the touristy centre."

"Humans used nature to establish a cosy, well looked after piece of nature to provide a friendly stay over for us."

The view of the ocean was great from the balcony outside the full length windows. A free shuttle was arranged to take us to a great fish restaurant. Breakfast was delicious and served with care. We only stayed one night but would have been more than happy to stay longer. "

"My husband and I were both sick when we got to the Whale Phin, so we crashed and only got up to leave the following morning. On the plus side, we could look out to the sea from our bed, with a beautiful garden in the foreground.

"A lovely surprise to discover the perfect location of this establishment. The hosts were warm welcoming and gave us good advice re on-going travel through SA and recommended the best restaurant in Mossel Bay. The breakfast was a work of art. Almost too good to eat. The warm welcoming cup of tea when we arrived was much appreciated and in all our travels this was the only host who did this. A huge bonus for us was waking up to see the whales from the balcony. A 5 star establishment and highly recommended."

"This was such a great stop over. The place was beyond expectation and I would highly recommend it.

"Guesthouse is very well situated, easy to find thanks to lots of signs on the way.

Louis and Joy are so kind and their house is really beautiful. Breakfast was also good."

"Pleasant stay with super friendly hosts. Small rooms that are comfortable. Good for a quick stay over."

"Small but very comfortable room. Excellent full breakfast. Good value for the money."

"Very comfortable room, superb breakfast, charming hosts and best view ever."

"My only problem with this guest house was the fact that somewhere along the line I had not read sufficient info about it and it was about 10 miles outside Mossel Bay. However my hosts did ferry me there and back for a small fee.
I was slightly confused about whether I was B&B or evening Meal too but I did get fed.
The View from the house was FANTASTIC and we had breakfast outside one am.
Hosts could not have been more helpful.
Bigger problem was the endless and very steep slopes and steps in and around the guest house. I found this difficult as I have a problematic leg, but it was not impossible.
It would be for more disabled people. "

"We spent only one night at Whale-Phin Guest House and we were warmly welcome.
Our host has recommended us a wonderful restaurant in Mossel Bay and it was excellent.
The breakfast at Whale-Phin Guest House is delicious.
The view is very very nice."

"A very nice guest house, and good feed back what to do nearby."

"Great view, good breakfast, friendly hosts who went out of their way to find accommodation for us elsewhere when we wanted to stay an extra night and Whale-Phin was fully booked. Enjoyed the many kinds of birds in the garden. Good quality/price ratio. "

"What a lovely, lovely place. The view from our room was truly amazing.
We were made very welcome by Joy & Louis and every effort was made to make our stay really enjoyable.
We look forward to returning one day during the season to see the whales.
Highly recommended, many thanks."

"Would have no hesitation in recommending the hospitality of Louis and Joy. We were made most welcome and nothing was too much trouble."

"Our one night stay was too short to take in everything that Whale-Phin has to offer. A friendly welcome set the tone (the owner came out to greet us before we had even parked our car). We immediately felt at home in the attractive wooden accommodation. Our modestly proportioned but spotless and comfortable room opened out on a large deck or veranda, with a magnificent view over the sea and Mossel Bay. Our hosts advised us on a great spot for dinner. The next morning we enjoyed an excellent breakfast on the deck, where the food had to compete for our attention with the diverse birdlife in the garden directly below and on the deck itself, and with that fantastic view. An affordable accommodation option, highly recommended for birders."
