About the Place

Nestled on a hill above Plettenberg Bay, along the world-famous Garden Route, this hotel boasts breathtaking views of the coastline and the ocean beyond from the restaurant deck. Whalesong boasts 32 spacious, comfortable en-suite bedrooms, equipped for the discerning traveller and interiors reflecting the serene blues and whites of the ocean. To make the most of the truly spectacular scenery, most of the rooms features its own private wooden viewing deck and offers breathtaking views of the Keurbooms coastline and the Tsitsikamma Mountain Range. The elegantly furnished hotel offers double and twin rooms. The hotel offers rejuvenating spa treatments, full body massages and hot stone therapies. After a long day, you can go for a swim in the outdoor pool or marvel at the African night sky from the comfort of the restaurant deck. The entire family can enjoy dining at the Blue Whale Restaurant, on-site, with attentive service, gracious hospitality and contemporary South African cuisine. The large sundeck with expansive ocean views offers an alternative, casual dining experience and is an ideal venue to enjoy Craft Gin Tastings and Sundowners. The Blue Whale Restaurant welcomes the little ones at the kiddies play corner.

Standard Hotels offered through misterb&b

Because we foster the largest community of gay travelers, we need to ensure all are welcome anywhere they go. Of course you may search for a private room or a full apartment from our gay and gay-friendly hosts. But sometimes, you would rather search for a hotel in a particular location or with certain amenities.

To help in your search we have selected a few standard hotels that we believe are a good fit for LGBTQ+ travelers.

Why did we select these hotels?
Because of their location, services, amenities, rates, and overall good reputation, we believe these hotels can appeal to LGBTQ+ travelers. At this point though, we haven’t been able to vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
We also help ensure hotels with a history of homophobic behavior, or whose owners are homophobic, are not listed on misterb&b.
