People from all around the world stay here, a great recommendation! The owners are like relatives in their welcome and friendliness but they never forget you are paying guests. Great food shared around a large table (eat in when Stanley cooks!). Make sure you do the whale trip as they come right up to the boat to greet you. Forget... More

In November 2011 we spent two nights at the Whalesong Lodge which has the personal touch of a family home providing just the right mixture of privacy and family life. For us it was an amazing experience to watch from our balcony the wales swimming and jumping so close by. At night we heard them "sing". Our room was not... More

WHALESONG LODGE We shortlisted Whalesong from hundreds of choices on safari.net, google earth, google maps, SAVenues and so on... From Stanley's prompt & helpful email enquiry reply, to his and Lainy's warm 'goodbye's' it just seemed and indeed was so right. Location, billion-dollar view, hospitality, magnificent breakfasts and a host of 'make it easy for you' services, hints and 'helps'... More

Very warm people who not just provide a room to sleep! We have watched the wales even from our room - if you can afford book room no. 1 with big panorama windows! Breakfast is not only eggs, but also homemade food. We loved this place and if we came back again would definitively stay in this cosy lodge! Thanks... More

We loved the surroundings a lot. Enjoyed the walks along the coast. Went on a whale boat trip and came really close to these mammals. The lodge was nice, sometimes a bit noisy

This was our second visit to Whalesong Lodge and our main reason for returning was the amazing location for watching the whales, you really don't have to leave the building to have a wonderful view as the ocean is just across the street! The bedrooms at the front of the house are obviously the best for viewing but also the... More
