Warm welcome from Tanja and Thomas and who throughout our stay ensured that we were happy and comfortable. They enquired about our dinner plans and for all three evenings booked for us. Their recommendations were spot on!

Our stay at this guesthouse was absolutely delightful! The owner is incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was simply outstanding – beautifully prepared with love, featuring fresh, local ingredients and a wonderful variety. The location couldn’t be better: right on the scenic coastal path, ideal for walks with breathtaking sea views. We also received great recommendations for restaurants and local activities. A true gem full of hospitality and comfort – we can’t wait to come back!

Our experience at this charming bed and breakfast was nothing short of perfect. Tanya, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating a memorable stay. The room clean, and incredibly comfortable. We especially appreciated the little touches—fresh flowers, local recommendations, and the host’s delightful conversation that made us feel more like cherished guests than customers. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with top-tier hospitality, look no further. This B&B is a hidden gem, and the host is its heart and soul. We can't wait to return!

We loved our stay at the Whale On Main. The host is very friendly and welcoming, and went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect for us. Just across the street from accessing the famous cliff walk (breathtaking!). The breakfast is superb! We hope to be back!
