Our best stay along the Garden Route. Amazing country lodge off the beaten track. Staff were beyond wonderful and kind. We were greeted with sparkling wine, given a tour of the beautiful lodge, fed sumptuously. Beautiful bar. Book their dinner in advance, it's worth it.

Great staff, great location, within a walking distance from a number of restaurants. Spacious and safe parking. Breakfast was nice too. I also like how the handle to control the shower is not right under it, so you get a chance to adjust the water temperature without getting frozen or burnt =)

The owners, they were most helpful in pointing out things to do and best ways to get there, both of them were very knowledgeable of the area. The breakfast was very satisfying. The room was always very clean after coming back from a day out. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley. The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa. Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.

We loved staying at Waves and Whales so much!

We loved staying at Waves and Whales so much! Exceeded our expectations and we had such a warm welcome. Communication was clear and perfect from when we made our booking and even after our stay. Beautiful views, stunning decor and everything and more is there...for your comfort and convenience. We loved every sunset and spent hours on the patio. We really enjoyed our time as a family and made beautiful memories.. we would love to return in the near future! Thanks for a great time and all your love and effort that you had put into your little gem! We've noticed it from the 1st moment of our arrival and appreciate it more than words could explain! Looking forward to our next stay

Natures Valley is very special. Most other bays in the area are over developed and commercialised. Natures Valley still captures the time when going to the beach was not all about how magnificent your property was. Lets hope it stays that way.

The number of bergies or street people hanging at the SPAR and surrounding area for the size of town was disconcerting. Nearly had an incident regarding the snatch of a cell phone. Wonderful little town with good restaurants and upkeep of paths and benches wonderful to see. Clear marking of dog friendly beaches helpful.
