Gorgeous view over the Indian Ocean! Friendly and helpful host. Delicious and nicely presented breakfasts. Quiet, all you hear is the waves. Beautiful surprise was the pod of dolphins going by in the morning. Short drive to Wilderness village with plenty of great restaurant options. Highly recommend the Whale’s Way Ocean Retreat.
