Just to let you know that Justin and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Jacobsbaai and our stay at Whispering Whale.

We loved the beautiful décor and the simple touches like the fruit and the welcome letter, as well as the fully equipped kitchen and choice of luxury linen and towels.

Thanks very much and we will definitely be back, and we will be recommending it to friends.

Thank you so incredibly much for another wonderful time at Whispering Whale. We forgot completely how special it is in Jacobsbaai and how amazing your “home” is and again our hearts have been captured. There have been a lot of changes since our last visit but the area is still so peaceful and out of this world. We loved taking walks on the beach and playing in the rock pools and just relaxing indoors with a good dvd and some coffee. After dreaming for ages of honeymooning abroad and then deciding to keep it in South Africa, we really are so happy with the way that it all worked out for us and there really is no better place to have started off our trip. We have a million memories that will stay with us forever and a million more photographs to help us try and explain what we experienced.

Thank you again SO much for everything. We will be back again … and again … and again.

Regards Marcus and Anja (Maschwitz)

Good morning Lynne

Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful break at the Bryde's Whale apartment - such a wonderful setting and the apartment itself was so comfortable and well equipped - even down to the sachet of filter coffee - its amazing how these small touches just make it so special. We were worried we were going to be cold and had hoped for a log fire, but as it happens we were plenty warm enough and were able to sit outside on the veranda with a roaring fire in the braai watching a most fantastic African sunset. I hope Jacobsbaai remains the unspoilt village it is, as I see there is quite a lot of development taking place. We took a drive to Paternoster, not having been there for about 4 years, and could not believe the change, and Langebaan is like a little metropolis now.

We would definitely recommend the accommodation and hope to go back in the not too distant future.

Kind regards
Kate

Hi Lynne

I'd like to thank you and Leentjie for an amazing time spent at both the Southern Right and Humpback Whale. I cannot begin to describe the tranquility the place brings. I so wished I could stay there longer. The interior decoration of the place is stunning and brings this feeling of calm and warmness. Leentjie's cooking is amazing and beats any restaurant in the vicinity. I haven't had such melt in the mouth prawns in a while.

Everything at Whispering Whale has been breathtaking, the warm welcome, the view, the personalized service, the accommodation (oh my....I was taken aback).

When you walk in the first time, you get the sense of calm and know that alot of time, effort and love was invested there. 7 stars from me. I have been around the world, stayed in nice hotels but this was the cherry on the top. I would definitely be back and already raving about your place to friends and colleagues about it.

Thank you so much for the excellent customer service in re-arranging my booking, for exceeding the customer expectation by going that extra mile for me. I truly appreciate it.

I will definitely be in touch with you for my next break-away from the craziness when on holiday.

Take care and keep well.
From a new fan!

Dear Lynne
Just got back from our brief trip to Cape Town – just to let you know that your guest house was absolutely perfect.
It happened to be the first B & B we stayed at on our trip and WOW what a place – everything is there and it is so nice & relaxing.
I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

Hi Lynne, I just wanted to let you know we had a great time at the Whispering Whale – the weather was absolutely perfect, and apart from the occasional walk, we lounged around in front of the TV most of the time! I just wanted to compliment you on the incredible attention to detail and the lovely décor. It was really a treat, and we’d love to visit again one day.

Thanks again for upgrading us!
Kind regards,
Cathy Clayton

Hi Lynne

It is our pleasure to let you have our comments on staying as your guests at the Whispering Whale.

Val & I as you know have spent a number of week-ends in all three of your self catering apartments, and we can truthfully say that we have enjoyed every minute in each. We are drawn to keep on returning to Jacob’s Bay and in particular the “Whispering Whale” because of it’s exclusivity, peaceful environment to relax, superb quality of the furnished, self catering apartments, and of course the opportunity to enjoy the availability of Leentjie’s superb home cooking when required. For us your Whispering Whale guest apartments are simply our “home away from home”.

P.S. Our looking forward to once again enjoying a break in your guest house is evidence enough of your success in providing a relaxing & well run quality guest house. Well done, a credit to you all.

Kindest regards
Val & Jonathan Wild

Many thanks; we had a wonderful time at Whispering Whale. The apartment is stunning; perfectly equipped and the location is beautiful. We went for long walks, bought fresh crayfish and just totally relaxed and unwound.

Our stay was absolutely perfect and we will definitely return!! But of course only when we can send the kids away J (we have 2, aged 13 and 9).
Review by: Rosemary Rabie, Cape Town (stayed: April 2008)

Thanks for the absolutely wonderful weekend. We will definitely be going back. Really enjoyed the serenity of the place, specially if you want to get away from the city. Thank you for the nice wine you left us.....

Thanks once again and we'll see you soon.
Regards
Rosemary Rabie
