I had been traveling with a group of friend throughout South Africa and was ready for some last minute alone time. I found Baleens on Trip Advisor and Hostel World. Both had great reviews so I went with it. Paula was quick to answer my emails, pleasant on the phone, and was incredibly helpful with my search for a car... More

What a wonderfull night we had at Baleens to celebrate our second anniversary. Our room were very nice and clean, and the breakfast were out of the books! Thank you Baleens for a wonderfull overnight!

All you want: Wonderful rooms, Wifi, Walking distance to beach and The Grotto Restaurant (very good!), nice staff, amazing breakfast (if mentioned beforehand it is possible to receive gluten free bread for breakfast!).

A delightful stay in a lovely serene spot. The staff where wonderful. The owners could not be more helpful and they serve a great breakfast cooked to your specific preference. The rooms where immaculate with lots of lovely local artwork.
