"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!

Great location, and everything we needed was in our room. Room was also very spacious and comfortable.
Our shower’s temperature was a little hard to regulate, but these things happen.

Such an 'easy' stay, close to the beach, restaurant, etc. Easy access to the rooms, and just an overall easy/simple stay.

It was already my third stay at Whale Watchers Inn and it was as good as ever. Claire, the owner, makes you feel at home. I can highly recommend it.

Location was fine. the room was amazing and very well equipped, although the sea view was a bit restricted. However we were able to watch whales in the bay.
Was a bit disappointed that breakfasts are no longer served.

Excellent for whale watching when the weather is good.
Nowhere to wash our dishes other than the bathroom. For a self catering room we felt it was a bit small.
