Whale View Manor Guesthouse

 
 

Description

Whale View Manor is situated directly opposite a picturesque and secluded beach and boasts uninterrupted, breathtaking views at the southernmost tip of Africa.

As you step into the eclectic reception area you are treated to an extravaganza for the senses; extraordinary artifacts and collectibles greet and welcome you. Susan Smyth, the owner, travels extensively and her keen eye selects remarkable objet d'arts that she brings home to Whale View Manor. Visual delights are further accentuated by subtle fragrances wafting through the reception area, by bougainvillea petals floating inside from the charming courtyard and by the gleaming smiles of the dedicated staff.

Exemplary service defines Whale View Manor. The team will go to any length to create a memorable, magical experience for their valued guests – from setting up a breakfast table on the beach to arranging a tantalizing high tea in the garden.

The ten rooms at Whale View Manor are exotic and each room has been decorated to reflect a different destination or culture in the world that is dear to the owner. Six of the rooms have spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, while four have beautiful garden and mountain views. All the rooms have newly appointed en-suite bathrooms and satellite television.

Breakfast is served in the restaurant overlooking the ocean. Scrumptuous freshly prepared meals are served with the aroma of freshly ground coffee filling the air. Lunch and dinner is prepared on request and by prior arrangement with management.

Shaya Moya Spa provides an escape from reality. Indulge in a selection of luxurious, healing massages, facials and other pampering therapies that are offered right here at Whale View Manor Day Spa.

A conference room is available and Whale View Manor can accommodate 20 delegates comfortably; the courtyard and separate lounge area may be used for breakaway sessions. Please enquire about our executive packages.

Whale View Manor is the ideal venue for an intimate wedding. The ceremony can be held in our private garden, our shady courtyard or you may choose to be on the sandy beach directly opposite the guest house. Whichever choice you make you will have a romantic setting on your special day. Our venue can accommodate a maximum of 40 guests for a seated function or 80 guests for a cocktail function. Honeymoon packages are available and the loving couple is indulged in every way, including finding their room strewn with fresh rose petals.

There is a multitude of unique attractions in close proximity to the guest house. Cape Point, the penguins on Boulder Beach, the historic Simon’s Town and the recently established Cape Point Vineyards are but a few of the places that have to be seen. You may be fortunate enough to spot the impressive whales that are often just off shore. Ask our friendly staff for more ideas and they will gladly recommend other sites and tours.

Spent a very happy 6 days here
Dennis Smith, United Kingdom
22 March 2008
We had a whale of a time at the Whale View Manor. Rooms excellent and staff superb & very friendly. Food (breakfast) excellent. Pat and I spent a very happy 6 days here and we would be happy to recommend to anyone. Plenty to do in the area with superb restaurants nearby - particularly recommend the Harbour House in Kalks Bay (about 10 kms). We will be back soon. Pat & Dennis Smith - Farnham UK

Of all the places we stayed in the Cape Town area this was probably the most stylish. Whilst they don't get the SA Tourist Board's 5 star rating - I would guess because of a lack of air con in the rooms - but we felt that this was a sacrifice worth making to stay in such an interesting and well-designed environment. They also served the best breakfast - not so much in content (which was excellent everywhere) but, again, in terms of the stylish presentation. Forget the Tourist ... more

Luxurious accommodation and ideal location for exploring the Cape. Rooms very comfortable and breakfasts were a delight. Would recommend without hesitation

We were very well looked after at the Whale View Manor by Joe and Jim, and in the morning Lauren was really helpful in resolving a problem for me which was nothing to do with our stay. Our room was superb and with its spacious and unique decor the whole ambience of Whale View was totally relaxing. The situation is excellent for exploring the Cape Peninsula
Palatial Review
John Castle, United Kingdom
18 February 2006
This is as near to 5 star luxury as one can get. We stayed in other 5 star guest houses which were not as luxurious and the staff are absolutely marvellous. I believe the rating for this guest house should be increased. The breakfasts are fantastic and I have not wanted to take photos of breakfasts before but the fruit and yoghurt is delightful. A place that we would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Simonstown to see the penguins and to explore Cape Point.
