35 guests' feedbackEverything was provided plus extra treats. Environment was quiet. Cute little town with lots of cute restaurants. Owner was very nice and makes an effort that guests are informed about the village, restaurants and what to do.
Our stay was very comfortable with very friendly and accommodating hosts, thank you Jan and Moray. The room was neat and cosy, will definitely recommend staying there. We will come back again.
Thanks to Jan who went the proverbial extra mile to accommodate a late request. It is appreciated. A little extra storage space for groceries would be a plus.
Our host, Jan, received us very kindly. His information about Sedgefield and surrounding area was very helpful.
The studio was well equipped, and ideally suited to our self-catering stay. A very friendly host, thank you, Jan.
Animal friendly, considerate people always helpful. Neat and clean.
Needs improvement for loadshedding. (Gas cooker important.)
Jan, the owner, was very helpful and always kept in touch so that the arrangements would go smoothly. We will definitely make a visit there again.
Close to everything, and I will stay there again.
I had a great stay at Whale of a time. Moray met me with a friendly smile and showed me all the amenities. The room did get fairly hot in the afternoon, even with the fans on.
Affordable overnight accommodation. Host very friendly and helpful and respects privacy. Would definitely recommend Whale of a Time.
Absolute value for money, anytime again! We had a great time, the tranquility is the best.
Owners are very friendly. Unit may be too hot on summer days with higher temperatures. No air conditioning. Gas geyser is a challenge to regulate water temperature in shower. Unit is spacious & stair arrangement is wide.
It was a fantastic place to break away for the weekend. Peaceful and quiet area. It was great and safe.
The host was friendly and informative. The accommodation was beautifully thought out and very pleasing. It was spotlessly clean with lovely extras such as card games, books, milk in the fridge, rusks ans info on the area. Situated in quiet part of town overlooking the forest in a lovely garden. We did not use it but there was a cadac braai for our use. I give this place 10/10 and will definately be back for a longer stay.
What a warm and welcoming experience. Jan and Moray are lovely hosts and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and relaxed. The unit is very private, clean, cosy and well-equipped with everything you need for a short or long term stay. The view of the forest is beautiful. Jan is very informative about the surroundings and we could not even visit all the lovely places he suggested, so we will have to return again soon. It was difficult to say goodbye, but A Whale of a Time will definitely see us again in the near future.
Very nice stay. Clean and tidy. Has all the necessary facilities. Very friendly reception.
The owners are wonderful, honest and very helpful! I would definitely recommend this place!
Neat and clean with friendly hosts. Would definitely recommend, and would stay there again if in the area.
The hosts are extremely hospitable and will to go the extra bit to make the stay more pleasant. Extremely clean which is a huge plus for me as I am OCD. They have thought of everything for their guests' comfort.
See stars.
The welcome was very warm and open. The host always truly thought of everything we could possibly need during our stay. I hope all success for their establishment in the future.
Jan and Moray were great hosts. The studio was just what we needed for the 5 days. Thanks for the hospitality.
Pleasant, neat place. Friendly hosts. A good base to see everything in the area.
Place was very good value for money. It was also neat and clean. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Will definitely stay there again, if I'm in that area.
Beautiful, clean and neat. Well equipped and very comfortable. Very friendly and helpful hosts, thank you Jan and Moray. Highly recommended!
Lovely, well kept and clean. Stayed a few days whilst visiting friends in Sedgefield and will definitely make sure we return here to stay, when visiting them again.
We had a really good experience at Whale of a Time and will definitely come back in the future.
My mom and I had a lovely stay and will definitely stay there again in the future if we go on holiday there again.
See stars.
Thank you to Jan and Moray for your kindness and hospitality. Wonderful, clean and comfortable accommodation. Definitely recommend this place!
Moray and Jan are friendly and hospitable. The unit is fully equipped and user friendly. Best value for money in Sedgefield. Definitely my future overnight stay in Sedgefield.
The place is very modern, neat and clean, has everything to make your stay comfortable. Jan and Moyra are the friendliest people and they make you feel at ease. Would definitely stay there again if we are in Sedgefield.
Very clean and tidy modern furnished yet a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Upon stepping in, felt at home and received by the host. Even surprised with coffee and tea for use and towels.
It was one of the neatest places we have ever stayed. Jan and Moray furnished it very tastefully. Had such a nice stay and Jan made us feel right at home. He also informed us about the area and made recommendations about places we could visit. Truly a special experience in the beautiful Sedgefield with its kind people. Hope future visitors appreciate and take good care of Jan's place too.
