    "We stayed at Whale Tale beach house for two weeks. The pizza oven/restaurant right next to you bathroom window is a seriously health problem... You smell the smoke in the house all the time... after complaining to Jo they remove the pizza oven to the back...Furniture old and uncomfortable, Kitchen not up to standard for eg pots, pans , oven. Another fact, if there is any building going on next to your holiday vacation/accomodation for two weeks , legally you need to inform your guests/bookings etc. in advance so they have the option to stay next a building structure in progress or refund your guest!!. The host Joan was very good and a lovely person. Try her best to assist ,but will never booked in Whale Tale again. Garden also need serious attention. Taking in consideration we spend over R70 000 ....Will not recommend this place."
