I stayed at the hotel as a guest with the Bhejane Pondoland Adventure group. We checked in on 28.04.2024 and checked out on 30.04.2024. Nothing could have prepared me for the condition of the room I received. If I had made the bookings myself, this is not a hotel I would have chosen. During my stay, the hotel was completely run down and visibly dirty, to say the least. A deep cleaning, hiring a professional chef, and bringing in professional hospitality management to run the place would be a good starting point. A complete facelift is essential. The location of the hotel is great with respect to the ocean view, etc.
Wow! The hospitality here is amazing. The food is delicious and the views are absolutely stunning! The gardens are also very well-maintained and spotlessly clean. The manager is very attentive and involved. This beach is the ideal destination for a peaceful and relaxing getaway where you can fully enjoy the beauty of the beach.
The cottage is lovely and well-maintained, offering a peaceful atmosphere and a stunning view. We felt secure during our stay and were particularly impressed with the bathroom. We took a leisurely walk to the beach and had the opportunity to discover a charming cave. The surroundings were incredibly beautiful and serene. However, it's important to note that you should bring your own drinking water, mosquito repellent, and perhaps some food, as there are no nearby shops. Additionally, it's advisable to avoid driving down the steep driveway, as it can be extremely challenging to drive back up with a regular car. We are grateful to the kind individual who assisted us by reversing our vehicle.
What an amazing experience! I had always dreamed of visiting this place, and at the age of 57, my daughter and I finally made the journey. We swam across the river and crossed to the other side, just like Moses and his men. When we finally arrived, we were overjoyed and excited to see our family members. However, it's important to wear proper shoes and be careful around the hot rocks near the hole. Walking barefoot can be quite painful. Despite this, I would definitely do it again. The Whole in the Hall hotel serves excellent food, and their staff and manager are very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend making a booking - you won't regret it.
Within 50 meters of the beach, you can spot dolphins and whales from the cottage deck. The rock pools by the beach offer a beautiful sunrise view. The location is very private, and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. It's an excellent spot for hiking and one of the most beautiful places in South Africa.
