The table usually goes quiet when the waffles arrive. Sweet or savoury, piled with toppings or paired with a freak shake, a visit to The Waffling Whale Café is the kind of holiday stop everyone looks forward to. 🧇

The hardest part is getting the whole table to agree on what to order.. browse the menu here

Two bathrooms might not be the first thing that comes to mind when planning a shared holiday, but by the first morning, everyone appreciates them. The Two Bedroom Apartment with Patio gives four adults room to settle into their own rhythm, with an en-suite main bedroom, a second bathroom, a full kitchen and a private patio with braai facilities. 🛌

Finding a lower rate after choosing where you want to stay can take some of the fun out of planning. When you book directly with Formosa Bay, a verified lower price will be beaten by double the difference, subject to the usual Ts & Cs. Your R100 Facilities Access Pass is included too, leaving less admin between you and the holiday. 💰📉

Being the largest 3D-printed whale tail sculpture in Africa, does it count as decoration or a land mark? 🤔

She looks good in daylight and moonlight and the larger-than-life Waffling Whale Tail has become the unofficial first photo stop: bags still in the car, cameras out and everyone choosing their best pose. 🐋

Whale season in Plett is on its last stretch this October, making this one of the last strong weeks of the year. 🐋

Offshore Adventures run boat trips out to experience them, plus a chance to swim with the seals, five minutes from Formosa. A pretty solid way to close out the school holidays. 🚤

So many kids.. but so much to do 🍨 The trampoline and the jumping pillow both get one more solid workout before the holidays wrap up. No Access Pass needed for either, just the last of the school holidays and kids who aren't quite ready to stop yet. 🪂

Come make the most of it before Term Four starts.

“Beautiful and Tranquil. Loved the location as it’s central. Great for families with small kids. Very clean and very green. The self catering houses are spacious and the kitchens had everything you could need. The outside braai area and house was maintained daily by the awesome staff and was such a spoil. It’s good value for money considering the location and the amenities.”

However you're spending today, we hope it's spent with people who matter. 🫂

Heritage Day means something different to everyone, a braai with family, a quiet walk on the beach, a favourite meal that's been in the family for years.

Formosa Bay Resort wishes everyone a warm one, however you're marking it. 🇿🇦
