Louis and Joy Cook, owners of At Whale-Phin Guesthouse
At Whale-Phin Guest House is out of town in a safe and tranquil area. Enjoy the unspoilt ocean and “Fynbos” views. From your room spot whales in season, dolphins and plenty of garden birds all year round. Five fully equipped B+B en-suite bedrooms. Sleep to the music of the ocean.
We love to mingle with our guests and you will be welcomed by Zara the guesthouse daschund.
